    Product Application

    Transferring or returning large quantities of air into the HVAC system does not have to be difficult. Our CRE500 is designed to accommodate high-capacity return application in commercial spaces. The grille is equipped with a large free area which permits smooth airflow with minimal pressure drop and noise creation. In addition to being a cost-effective solution, the grille allows flexible installations in suspended grid ceilings and in hard ceilings and walls.
