Linear Bar Grille Frame Styles
Whether you are looking for a classic style like the B Frame, the "clean line" aesthetics of a J Frame or more of a decorative style such as one of our Beveled Frames, Architectural Grille offers a variety of advanced premium quality Linear Bar Grille frame styles to complement your project design.
Standard Frame Styles:
- A Frame: The 1/8” band around the core delivers a minimalist profile, this frame style also has a 1/2” return on the bottom for support and allows for the core to be loose (removable) or fixed to the frame depending on accessibility needs.
- B Frame: With a 3/4” flange offering a classic style, the B Frame gives a bolder look to any core while 'covering' any rough or uneven cuts made for the air vent opening. Please note that the B Frame is fixed to the core.
- C Frame: The best of both the A and B Frames, the C Frame has a 3/4” flange for a bolder look and a 1/2” return on the bottom for added support. It can be removable (loose) or fixed to the core and is recommended for floor applications.
Beveled Frame Styles:
- D, E, F Frames: Featuring a flange like the B frame, to cover any rough or uneven air vent openings, each style offers varied flange sizes with a beveled edge for a more decorative look.
Specialty Frame Styles:
- G Frame: When added stability isn’t required (it does not have a return), this frame style offers the same 1/8” bar around the perimeter of the core as the A Frame, it is also only available with a fixed core.
- H Frame: Drop-in floor frame is designed to be installed BEFORE the flooring has been laid, making it flush with the floor and borderless, and resulting in a smooth, seamless look. Available with either a fixed, welded core or a loose (removable) core.
- Spackle In I Frame: Ideal for wall and/or ceiling applications where a flush, borderless look is desired, this frame comes with pre-punched fastening points for quick installation on TOP of the drywall with standard drywall screws, it is only available with a welded core.
- Spackle In J Frame: With an easy "clean line" installation method, this "less is more" frame style is ideal for wall and/or ceiling applications. Like the I Frame, this frame has pre-punched fastening points for installation on TOP of the drywall with standard drywall screws. The 1/2” return at the bottom allows for the core to be loose (removable) or fixed to the frame.
- Spackle In K Frame: Similar to the I and J Frame styles, this frame comes with pre-punched fastening points for quick installation using standard drywall screws. Designed to be installed BEFORE drywall and available with either a fixed, welded core or a loose (removable) core, this frame is ideal for wall and/or ceiling applications.
