eggcrate bracing

Optional bracing for large floor units

If your opening is over 12 inches square and is being used on the floor, then you'll need this solid welded steel framework that will provide support so you won't have to worry about people walking or standing on the grille. There are a lot of vintage houses with very large eggcrate grilles, usually broken. This is the perfect solution! Available on the rounded edges style.

Pricing: call for quote, but just for example a 12" by 12" opening would be $287.20
