Certainly! Let me explain each of these components related to supply air grilles:
1. Frame: The frame of a supply air grille is the outer border that holds the entire grille assembly in place. It provides
structural support and defines the overall shape and size of the grille. The frame can be made of materials like
extruded aluminum or other metals. Linear bar grilles, for example, come with different frame options, such as
one-inch flange frames or 1/2-inch flange frames 1 .
2. Blade: The blades (also known as louvers) are the slats or fins within the grille that control the direction of airflow.
These blades can be fixed or adjustable. In linear bar grilles, the blades are typically made of extruded aluminum
and can be set at different angles (0°, 15°, or 30°) to direct air either straight ahead or in specific directions 1 .
The blade deflection angle determines how the air is dispersed.
3. Support Bar: Some linear bar grilles have reinforcing support bars. These bars provide additional strength and
stability to the grille, especially when it is used in floor applications. The support bars are integrated into the
frame and help maintain the grille’s shape and durability 2 .
In summary, the frame holds the grille in place, the blades control airflow, and support bars enhance the grille’s
robustness. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! 😊
