Standard register sizes in most homes' HVAC systems are typically 4" x 10", 6" x 10", 4" x 12", or 6" x 12", or at least those that are typically placed in mid-sized rooms like dining areas or bedrooms. Smaller rooms like hallways or bathrooms most likely have smaller-size registers.

Read More »Let’s air out a few misunderstandings in the register and vent cover world: for one, yes, size matters. There are standard register sizes for HVAC needs and then there are also odd or non-standard register size needs. From up high on the ceiling or walls down to the floors, every new build and old home (or business) may have different register size needs. In order to understand and find the register size that you need for your HVAC system, we want to cover a few common questions you may have. Once you understand these size and fit basics, buying a just-right-size (and decorative) register decorative will be a breeze. Let’s begin. How Exactly Do You Find Out the Size of HVAC Register You Have (or Need?) Remember with sizes you see on register options: this is referring to the size of the duct hole OPENING in your floor, wall, or ceiling (never the dimensions of the vent cover itself). No need to be a mathematician or DIY expert to measure for a proper register size—simply take out a tape measure, ruler, or yardstick and measure the width and the length of your duct opening. If an old current vent cover is already in place, be sure to unscrew it (if screwed) and lift it off to measure this opening. Wondering which part is the width and which is the height (or length) of the vent hole you need to measure? First measure the width of the hole opening (the horizontal way); then measure the height/length of the hole (the vertical part) to get your proper W x L register size dimensions. The width and length of your opening should match the width and length of the inside—where register goes into duct—measurements of the grille/register. For example, if the measurements of the vent hole in your wall, ceiling, or floor is 12” x 10”, order the 12” x 10” register (it’s that easy). There is no need to measure the outside rim of the duct hole opening or the outside borders of a register cover. Another tip: always round up to the nearest inch . . . and measure twice just in case.

Learn More »Standard register sizes in most homes’ HVAC systems are typically 4" x 10", 6" x 10", 4" x 12", or 6" x 12", or at least those that are typically placed in mid-sized rooms like dining areas or bedrooms. Smaller rooms like hallways or bathrooms most likely have smaller-size registers. Any register size will range between whether the vent is on the ceiling, wall, or floor—for example, a standard floor vent has a 4” x 10” duct opening. In general, standard vent/register sizes can vary as small as 2-¼” x 10” to as large as 8” x 14”. What Are Non-Standard Register Sizes? (. . . And What To Do If Your Home Has Them?) Odd register sizes (for example, duct openings that are 3” x 10”, 4” x 8”, or 8” x 10”) are difficult to find in hardware stores or even across certain register brands on the market. Fortunately, Reggio Register makes your non-standard or standard register sizes HVAC search feel seamless. Our online register/grille selections are available to customize and ship in a few clicks, and we’re also happy to hash over any questions or assistance you need with our free in-person or over-phone consultations. Don’t forget: our beautiful selection of metal grilles are already available in up to 33 cut-to-perfection standard register sizes ranging from 6” x 6” to 30” x 18” and every size in between—simply select the option you need from the pull-down tab of any pattern/design you choose. Note that grilles are a simplified version of a register that lays or is screwed into walls, floors, or ceilings to cover either incoming or outcoming HVAC openings, but does not provide airflow alone. However, all grilles can become a custom register if you pair the grille with a matching louver. Louver assemblies are designed to fit behind the grilles to control air flow as well as increase heating and cooling efficiency. For the standard register sizes HVAC industry, Reggio Register is proud to offer one of the widest in-stock size varieties fit for any residential or commercial space.
