A wooden window grill in Plaza del Conde del Real, Valencia (
Spain ). The structure was probably used as a stable.
A grille or grill (French word from Latin craticula, small grill) is an opening of several slits side-by-side in a wall, metal sheet or another barrier, usually to allow air or water to enter and/or leave and prevent larger objects (such as animals) from going in or out.[1]
A similar definition is "a French term for an enclosure in either iron or bronze."[2]
Register vs. grille
In heating, cooling, ventilation, or a combination thereof, a grille is a perforated cover for an air duct. Grilles sometimes have louvers which allow the flow of air to be directed.
Grille, and control for an air duct
A register differs from a grille in that a damper is included. However, in practice, the terms "grille", "register", and "return" are often used interchangeably, and care must be taken to determine the meaning of the term used.
