These diffusers fit the higher baseboard (5') perfectly and look better than the ones I could have purchased at the store, if they'd had the right size. The metal and the paint are of higher quality. We really like the product.

Baseboard floor registers are a bit different from typical registers, but replacing them isn’t difficult. With baseboard registers, the ductwork opening in the floor is long and slender — about half as wide as a standard register — and located along the edge of the wall.

There are flat, unobtrusive metal or wooden styles, or you can go for something with more flair. Some have fancy brass or cast iron face plates, and others have plain, slit openings through which the air can vent. Price points for baseboard registers vary greatly depending on the design and materials. Types of Baseboard Registers There are at least three styles of baseboard registers. The simplest is nearly identical to traditional registers, with the only difference being its slender shape. Another style is a tall, slim box with a single opening on the bottom and several vent openings on the front. This type makes the register appear to vent through the wall.

Air flows up through the floor and into the box where an angled fin directs the flow out through openings in the front of the box. The baseboard is usually notched out to create a space for the register to fit flush against the wall. A third style looks like a tall wedge and it sits atop the ductwork opening in the floor, like the slim-box style. The wedge shape, which is usually at least 2 inches tall, is wide at the floor to fit over the ductwork opening.

The front side that faces the room is vertical, and the back side closest to the wall angles forward to direct the air flow out the front openings without a fin. You can replace an old baseboard register with any style unless the upright box and wedge models create an obstacle in a foot or door path. Cosmic Balearic Beats Vol 1 Rar there.
