Grilles, diffusers & linears.
Anything with air in it, from the air handler to the last grille in the ceiling. Custom homes, offices, condos, you name it, we take care of the whole range.
What we do
- Linear slot diffusers. The clean line in the ceiling that custom homes & retail want. We size them, we set them straight, & we make sure they throw air instead of just looking good.
- Supply & return grilles. Sized to the system. A return that's too small is the whistling at night & the room that never cools.
- Step down & lay in diffusers. For drop ceilings in offices, restaurants, retail & more. Each one sized to the room.
- Filter grilles. So nobody climbs into the attic to change a filter.
- Duct board & sheet metal. Plenums, trunks, boxes, built in the garage or the shop & hung level.
Some of it
LinearsLinear cans, custom built, for mud in. We build them before the drywall so the slot disappears into the ceiling. ZoningA mechanical zone damper. The office gets air when the office needs it. CommercialMetal warehouse, everything in the open. Four way diffusers, to airflow-max while duct mogging. ReturnsA return we added. The system was starving for air & the static pressure said so. One return later, the whistling stopped & the coil stopped freezing. DiffusersAn office that was short on supplies. One room cooked in the afternoon sun. We added a diffuser & moved the other so they sit even in the grid. Looks like it was always there. Now it stays cool. ReturnsMaterial for new bedroom returns. A three ton unit was breathing through one 14 inch return. High static, warm bedrooms. Filter grilles in each room fix both.
Questions people ask
Usually, yes. Bring us a photo or the brand & size & we'll source the match. If it's discontinued we'll show you the closest thing before ordering.
Yes. The grille itself costs more & so does the plenum behind it, because a linear has to be fed evenly or one end blows harder than the other. We'll put the number next to a standard diffuser so you can decide.
We do. Every grille & diffuser is sized to the air the system actually moves. A pretty grille on an undersized return is a noisy, warm room.
All the time. Send us the plans or the reflected ceiling plan & we'll mark up where everything goes before drywall.
Think comfort. Think Aphex.

Same handle everywhere. Mostly attics.
