BRAND NEW! Black Vintage Gravity Baseboard Registers – Available Now!

Finally! An affordable Gravity Baseboard Register with a Black Finish! These fantastic new items will easily replace your old, over-painted and rusted out Gravity Registers. This style of register used to be quite popular but they’ve become less and less common over the years. This made having an old gravity baseboard register difficult. When it came time to finally update their vents, most people discovered that the industry had largely left them behind. There were options available but most of them were either custom made with too high a price tag, or they didn’t have the finish you were hoping for. While finish options are still limited, we now have both of the standard 15″ x 12″ (min duct opening of 12″ x 8″) and the 13″ x 12″ (min duct opening of 10″ x 8″) sizes available in White and now for the first time Black!

Black Gravity Registers available in 15″ x 12″ and 13″ x 12″ sizes!

Please see minimum duct opening requirements before purchasing

They feature a durable steel frame and insert and are manufactured with high quality materials in the USA just like their white finished counterparts. The swinging, plate style damper allows for complete control over the airflow to the register. Available in both 15″ x 12″ and 13″ x 12″ sizes.

If you’re like most people, caulking probably isn’t something you worry about on a regular basis. With all the other responsibilities on your plate, who would blame you? So, when it does come the time to update the seals in your home, you find yourself at a loss. You’re not alone and we can help! The world of caulking is vast and often confusing without the right guidance. Fortunately for you, we are here and we know just what you need.

There are many different types of caulking available. Most of them are some sort of proprietary blend that is specific to the manufacturer who makes it. For this blog, however, we are going to be focusing on three of what we consider to be the standard types of caulking, Siliconized Acrylic Latex Caulk, Ultra Performance Latex Caulk and Silicone Caulk. 

When getting started, the first thing I ask a customer about their caulking project is “Where will this caulking be applied?”. Normally, this question is all you need to make the proper recommendation but sometimes a little more clarification is needed.

For example, if you are going to be caulking indoors and NOT around moisture, the Siliconized Acrylic Latex Caulk by ColorFast Industries, AKA Latex Caulk for short, would be your best bet. Latex Caulk is easy to apply and easy to clean up. It’s great for indoor fixes such as windows, doors and counters. Latex Caulking is often referred to as Painters Caulk due to the fact that it can be painted after the caulking cures. Latex Caulk can be weakened by extreme temperatures and sunlight. You would NOT want to use Latex Caulking in places that see a lot of direct sunlight or places that accumulate moisture such as bathrooms and sink areas. Moisture can be absorbed into Latex Caulking, deteriorating the adhesive and ruining the seal. Also, standard Latex Caulking doesn’t flex as much as other caulking. As such, you wouldn’t want to use Latex Caulk in places where the joints move and settle. Fortunately, that’s where the Ultra Performance Latex Caulk comes in.

Ultra Performance Latex Caulking is an incredible product also made by ColorFast Industries. It’s made with some of the same components as Latex Caulking but it’s proprietary blend allows it to be used indoors, outdoors and in high moisture areas. Places that would require this kind of caulking would be exterior windows and doors as well as around places that accumulate moisture such as bathrooms, tubs, sinks and laundry rooms. Ultra Performance Caulk is also highly expansive and flexible. It will expand up to 500% the rate of standard Latex Caulking. This is perfect if you need to apply a thicker bead or if the joint you are caulking needs to remain flexible while still holding it’s seal. One thing to note about the Ultra Performance Caulk is that although it is highly resistant to moisture, it is not waterproof. If too much water collects on the caulking, the beads will erode over time. The best way to avoid this would be to make sure that you are drying off any caulked surfaces with a towel before dangerous levels of moisture build up occur.

The final type of caulking that we’ll be talking about today is the 100% Silicone Caulking available from Color Rite, also referred to as Color Sil 100% Silicone Caulk. The biggest selling point to Color Sil is the fact that silicone is completely waterproof. Silicone caulking is perfect for virtually any caulking needs. From indoors to outdoors and even around water. One of the only limitations to Color Sil is that it cannot be use in a submerged area. Silicone Caulking is highly flexible making it great for movable joints or areas that are prone to shifting. Silicone Caulk beads can flex about 5x more than standard Latex Caulk. Silicone caulk can leave a residue that makes painting over it difficult. But as long as you are cleaning your beads after applying, there shouldn’t be an issue.

On the subject of painting, we also offer the option to ColorMatch any of these three type of caulking to meet your exact color needs. This removes the need to paint your caulking which can save you lots of time and expense. To start the ColorMatch process, send in a sample of the color you’d like your caulking to be identical to. We process the color and either match it to one of our many existing colors or make a custom batch of caulking just for you! Color matching can involve fees that differ depending on the type of caulk and just how custom the color is. We offer a very wide ranging variety of in stock colors as well that are available for purchase at any time.

Hopefully I was able to answer some of your questions about which caulking would work best on your project.

Are you struggling to find a metal air grill of a specific size? Are standard grill sizes simply not working for you? Maybe you’re looking for something decorative that speaks to your specific taste. It sounds like you may need a custom made grill.

The most common reason for needing a custom grill is due to unusual duct hole dimensions. Over the last few decades, the HVAC industry has become largely standardized in regards to grill sizes. This can make finding the correct air grill easy…as long as your duct holes were installed based on the standard sizes. The problem is that most homes were built over 50+ years ago, before vent sizes became standard. As such, many of them have air duct holes that are entirely unique making it difficult to find vents and registers to fit them.

Fortunately for you, there are options. Custom air grills can be made in any size. Not only that, but SteelCrest Custom Metal Grills can be made in a wide variety of designs and finishes, so there is always something to fit your home’s unique style. Our custom manufacturer, SteelCrest, is one of the best in the country for style, durability and customizability.

Style, Durability, Customizability

SteelCrest can customize anything. Whether your duct hole is in the floor, ceiling, wall or baseboard, SteelCrest has the solution for your custom air grill needs.

Another common reason for going the custom route with your air grills is the added security of a high quality build. A SteelCrest Custom Metal Grill is going to be incredibly strong and durable. They also have the option to choose a thicker material if your grill placement is in a high traffic area. Thicker material is only required for use on floor grills. There are some sizes that require the thicker material. The larger the grill, the stronger it needs to be to hold up the weight of the traffic that runs over top of it. When you use a thicker material, often times it can become a tripping hazard. Most customers who choose the thicker material also request beveled edging. Beveled edging is used to smooth down the edges of the grill, making it safe for heavy foot traffic.

One of the best parts about SteelCrest is that they can make nearly any grill or register in any size, style, finish, thickness, etc. They are the top tier of custom steel air grills. Not only can they customize your grill to suit your exact needs but they also offer various attachments and accessories from mesh backing to concealment louvers that you can select to get the most out of you SteelCrest Custom Metal Air Grill.

Deciding what kind of SteelCrest Custom Metal Air Grill you need isn’t as hard as it sounds. First, come up with the measurements for the hole you’d like to place the grill in. Be precise. Decide if you want a grill or a register (registers control air flow, grills do not). Any grill can be made into a register as long as the dimensions are whole numbers (i.e. a 12″ x 6″ grill could be made into a register but a 12.5″ x 6.5″ grill could not). Then you choose your favorite design and finish. Some designs aren’t suitable for use in the floor due to lack of surface area. Finish samples can be sent to you on request to help you choose the perfect color. You can also request to have screw holes drilled into the sides of the grill for mounting purposes. Screw holes aren’t necessary for floor grills. All other grill placements require screws. 

SteelCrest Sample Finish Chain Set Available Here!

The outside dimensions can also be customized to be as large or as small as you prefer. Maybe there are imperfections in the wall, floor or ceiling next to your air duct that you would like to cover. By extending the outside dimensions, you can cover a larger area while the grill still fits perfectly in your duct hole. 

Ordering your SteelCrest Custom Metal Air Grill is easy. Just call us today, and our helpful team will make sure that all of the details are accounted for. We will walk you through the whole process from selecting the right custom options for you to putting together your Custom SteelCrest Quote. Once we’ve received payment and you have approved your quote, your order gets sent to the manufacturer to be built custom for you. It can take up to 6-8 weeks for custom orders to be finished and shipped out. Due to the nature of custom items, once an order is placed it can not be returned. This is why our team stresses the importance of making sure your measurements are spot on.

The sport of hockey was recently rated as one of the stinkiest sports. To any hockey parent, this should come as no surprise. I was once backstage at a concert, and the facility used to be home to a college hockey team (10 years prior). Those poor locker rooms still smelled as if the hockey players were present for a period intermission.

Being a more expensive sport with all of the pads and gloves needed, purchasing new equipment each year is not an option. The other alternative of driving to and from long road games with your head out of the window in the dead of winter like Ace Ventura, is also not feasible. But Installerstore has a more economical (and safe) option to rid your hockey pads from the stank.
