What to Look For When Acquiring These Key HVAC Products
When seeking out custom HVAC components for your commercial facility, you want the assurance that you’ve acquired exceptional products that meet your air distribution needs. Knowing what to look for goes a long way in commissioning lasting, high-performing equipment for your facility. Pay attention to the little details that differentiate similar-seeming products from each other.
This holds true for return and supply grilles for your HVAC system. Although they may seem insignificant, they are two of the most essential components you can purchase for this key infrastructure. They manage air volume and pressure in your facility, circulating air in and out of any given room.
Keep reading to discover what you should look for in quality return grilles, supply air grilles, and hinged air return filter grilles, so you can integrate premium products into your air distribution system and benefit from all they have to offer.
Look For a Wide Range Of Return and Supply Grilles
The first way to identify excellent grilles is to find out if the manufacturer you’ve chosen offers a variety of these HVAC products. You don’t want to select a good-quality grille, but discover that its geometries aren’t useful for your particular system.
AJ Manufacturing’s return air grilles, supply air grilles, and hinged air return filter grilles offer options that vary in size, air volume, aesthetics, and key capabilities, such as the ability to adjust or direct airflow.
Always Judge a Grille By Its Coverage
It’s okay to be superficial about the supply and return grilles you select. They need to be able to adequately cover the interior ductwork through which air is distributed into your room. A grille’s secondary function blocks the view of the undesirable inner-workings of your HVAC system. Therefore, you must select grilles that give you the ideal amount of coverage, so you aren’t giving your customers or patients a view they shouldn’t have.
Similarly, you want to select grilles that deliver your ideal aesthetics, not just their key functionality. Meticulous about how our products can benefit you, AJ Manufacturing offers grilles that are especially designed for the eye, while also fulfilling their purpose in your facility.
Select Grilles With Premium Materials and Design Characteristics
Your return air grilles and supply air grilles should be built with materials that are effective for use in any environment’s functional and aesthetic requirements. They must also be durable and long-lasting, so you won’t have to reinvest in these products after a short period of time.
Consider whether your grilles meet these specifications:
- 307 stainless steel
- Satin polish finish
- Stainless sheet metal screws
- Countersunk holes for mounting
Your return air grilles, supply grilles, and hinged return air filter grilles should also have design features that ensure they operate as expected, including:
- Proper blade spacing for a particular room’s needs.
- Adjustable blades.
