Cast Iron, Solid Brass and Bronze Registers and Grills - Finding Them At An Affordable Price
Popularized in the late 1890's and early 1900's, cast iron grilles and register covers came in many shapes, sizes and colors. These heavy duty cast Iron vent covers and grilles were stylish and functional. Made completely of iron, they were made to stand the test of time - never denting or collapsing under pressure as most modern light brass covers often do. Characterized by Victorian style swirls and precise geometric patterns, the vent covers soon became objects of art and were often stolen or sold at auction.
What is the difference between a register and a grill? A register comes with directional louvers while a grill does not. Also, these can come drilled or plain. Drilled grills or registers have holes for mounting screws and can be secured to a wall or ceiling - and they provided extra security when screwed into a floor. Registers with Louvers often add quite a bit to the price and are seldom needed - so consider the use of a grill instead of a louvered register and it will save you money - saving upwards of 55% off.
These vent covers can be found on open markets such as eBay, but finding an entire set that matches is difficult - especially when you take size into account. Don't dispair, though - genuine reproductions can be found online - allowing you to replace these original Grills and Register covers. Not only will they enhance the beauty of your home or business, they will add value to the buildings, too.
Cast Iron Registers and Grills are readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for solid cast iron or bronze construction and be sure to ask questions. When you work with the these fancy grills and registers, you can be sure that the shapes and combinations will work to tie themselves together nicely. These registers and grills can be found online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they also offer free design assistance and help.

How to remove melted plastic from cast iron fireplace?
I left a computer speaker on top of my cast iron fireplace- tried pulling it off-which only stretched the goopy material.. fireplace is still cooling down - but I have NO idea of HOW to get that stuff off??
After your fireplace cools, try using a non-abrasive item i.e. spatula (you don't want to add scratches to the cast iron) to get under the plastic and lift off. Otherwise, carefully, and gently warm the plastic (maybe from inside the fireplace if able, with a lighter) and wipe off? Or, maybe putting ice cubes on the plastic would 'freeze' it stiff enough to be able to chip off.
Good luck!
