Some air registers have one direction of slats or slots, while others are multi -way. Some rectangular types of air register often have small levers located on the bottom of closed slats set in different directions. This format allows you to open or close different parts of the slats to allow more or less air flow into the room. One -piece air registers with stationary than movable openings are usually sold as grids or grills.

The air register deflector is a rectangular, plastic low -floor device. It is designed to fit through the register located on the floor near curtains or sitting.
