Note: these are sometimes called registers, grilles or vent covers.  They are all the same thing.

When you're installing new unfinished hardwood floors, it's easy enough to add matching flush registers.  Flush means that they are the same height (vs. an overlap one is will rest on top).  Then, these can be sanded and refinished to match the floor.  However, if you already have hardwood floors in place and/or are doing pre-finished wood, it's generally easier to get overlap registers that fit on top of the wood.  That way, you don't need to worry about cutting and fitting it in with the wood that's already in place.  (Yes, if you are doing unfinished wood, you can do this…it will just take some extra labor).

You can either do wood registers or metal, pending your preference.

For wood registers, you want to make sure you have the matching species.  Most wood registers come in red oak and white oak, so choose carefully.  If you have another species or a prefinished wood with a stain color, you will have more difficulty matching (and you may be be better off with metal ones.

You'll want to measure the size of your registers (most are 4″ x 12″).  Some are also available in 6″ x 12″, 4″ x 10″ and 2″ x 12″.  These are the total length of width of the register (the opening is generally a bit smaller).
