What is the difference between a Grille and a Register? What is a diffuser considered, a grille or register??
 
Definition according to SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractor's National Association)

Grille - A louvered or perforated covering for an air passage opening which can be located in the sidewall, ceiling, or floor.

Register - A grille equipped with an integral damper or control valve

Hope this helps!
