The Caststo Oval 9×20 air return grille is a decorative, heavy-duty vent cover made from 5 mm thick solid steel. It is designed to fit a standard 9″ x 20″ duct opening and has an overall faceplate size of 10.8″ x 21.5″. Its pattern of oval cut-outs with small diamond accents adds a designer touch to any wall, ceiling or floor – while keeping good airflow to your HVAC system.

Why solid steel?

Most return grilles are thin stamped metal that dents, bends and rattles when the furnace or AC runs. The Caststo Oval is cut from a single 5 mm solid steel plate, so it stays flat, rigid and quiet for years. The powder-coated finish protects the steel and is easy to wipe clean.

Black or White?

Choose Black for a bold, modern contrast against light walls and wood floors, or White to blend in with white walls, ceilings and trim. Both are durable powder-coated finishes.

How to choose the right size

Always order by the duct opening, not the old grille. Remove your existing grille and measure the hole in the wall, ceiling or floor from inside edge to inside edge. If the opening measures 9″ x 20″, this grille is the right fit – its 10.8″ x 21.5″ faceplate overlaps the opening to cover rough drywall or flooring edges.

Installation

Remove the old grille and clean the opening. Hold the new grille in place, mark the holes, and fasten it with the matching screws provided. For floor openings, the grille simply sits in place. Most installations take less than 10 minutes.
