decorative grilles
Our craftsmen believe that design is in the details. That’s evident in KEES architectural grilles. Our stamped and lattice-type decorative grilles are functional art that pulls an entire building’s design together. A sophisticated selection of materials, patterns and finishes combine to create eye-catching signature looks.
Architects and owners who want something beyond the ordinary appreciate painted finishes offered in any color detectable by the human eye. Stainless steel and brass are available with distinctive satin- or mirror-polished finishes, and brass can be oxidized for a classic weathered finish. Another option is aluminum, available with a satin finish, painted or etched with a durable, colorful anodized finish.
- High-quality materials and finishes provide lasting style and durability
- Versatile mounting options fit any application
- Rectangular shapes are common but uncommon ones like circular, triangular, arched and oval shapes are available
- Custom pattern designs may be submitted to us in any file format
