Imagine walking into a beautiful space with custom flooring, gorgeous walls, and a magnificent ceiling, all highlighted by the perfect lighting.  But you notice out of the corner of your eye that the grille covering the air return is a stark white color, indicative of being purchased from a large box store.  One seemingly simple thing like a grille can either bring a room together, or it can stick out like a sore thumb and become the center of attention—and not in a good way.

In a historical remodel, ensuring that you have the correct grille for the space is even more imperative. That's why we have an extensive catalog of high quality metal grilles.

Linear bar grilles from Coco Architectural

The correct grilles do more than provide serviceable heat and air.  They can either be a distraction from the space, or another flawless detail that makes everything flow together appropriately.  When Coco Architectural makes grilles, we have three main characteristics that we let guide us:

• The aesthetic impact on the space, either positive or negative
• The ability of the grille to perform as it was designed while also being made of quality to last
• Selection of installation features

In every situation in which a grille is required, a special set of needs must be met.  That’s why we’ve created our own line of products to ensure we meet those needs.  Whether a design incorporates a metal wall grille that must be removable, totally functional, and highly decorative, or if you need a strong reinforced floor grille, we have the pieces to meet your needs. 

Our unique capabilities include matching custom colors, special spacing between the bars of the grille, beveled grilles, extra flanged frames, or removable cores.  We can also achieve more standard features, such as access doors.

No matter the requirements for your design or remodel, Coco Architectural can meet your needs.  We have a team of industry professionals who can help you from the moment you meet the sales team all the way to our shop full of experienced craftsmen.  With our experience and understanding about the importance of high quality grilles, we can ensure that you’ll find the right mix of quality and function for your project.

Product overview - options for every space

No two spaces are exactly the same, and no two spaces need exactly the same grille.  We have many different kinds of grilles made from a variety of materials so you will be able to find the best solution for your space.  Our material options include:

• Aluminum:  This choice offers a great deal of flexibility regarding the final look of the grille.  Aluminum can be finished in satin, mirror polish, clean anodized, anodized color, or baked enamel color with either a liquid or powder coat. Aluminum can also be primed and painted on the job site.
• Brass:  This material can be made with either a satin or a mirror polish finish.  Brass can also have several different shades of statuary bronze, antiqued bronze, and blackened bronze.
• Bronze:  Grilles made from bronze may come in satin and mirror finishes.  Bronze grilles also have shades of statuary bronze, antiqued bronze, and blackened bronze.
• Stainless Steel:  If you’re looking for a sleek, modern feel, these grilles can have satin or mirror polish finishes, or they can be prepared for plating.
• Steel:  These grilles can come in a primed finish, ordered in baked enamel colors, or they can be prepared for plating.

L-Bead installation offers you an option of grilles that will sit flush with plaster walls, adding an important option in design.
