Vintage baseboard registers are also known as gravity registers because they were originally used with central gravity furnaces. In most old homes, gravity furnaces have been replaced with modern forced-air heating and cooling systems but the old baseboard registers remain in place. Although the antique baseboard registers are usually scratched, worn, and beaten, they remain installed because suitable replacements have been out of production until now.

Antique gravity baseboard registers rested on the finished floor and were fastened to the wall with wood screws. The baseboards usually butted up against the sides of the heat register. To match existing trim, it is important to consider the overall size of the register. However, it is also important to measure the duct to be certain that the damper will open into the duct behind the heat register. There is a 25% restocking fee for returned items.
