Floor registers are not the registers you find checking out at a grocery store. Floor registers are the cover from the heating vent in a home or business.
You can find floor registers from, Reggio Register, Atlanta Supply, Signature Hardware, and Floor Register Resources. All of these websites sell every thing from plain to fancy floor registers, floor grilles and grate covers.
There are many websites online that offer information regarding heat registers. Wikipedia gives detailed information about heat registers and about what they are and when they were created.
AIr supply registers can be located in the floors, walls, or ceilings. The placement chosen will depend on whether the system will be used primarily for heating or cooling. If you live in an area where you use mostly heating, floor registers are the best, as heat will rise and mix with the indoor air. If you live in a warm area, like me, you want the registers high on the walls or on the roof, as the cold supply air will fall towards the floor. Basically you want high registers for cooling and low registers for heating.
Either way will work ok as long as the system is designed that way from the beginning. The best place for the air conditioning registers (vents) will depend on who designs the system and the construction of your home. In some homes it is not practical to install the registers in the floor that have a concrete foundation. If you have a very low or flat roof it may not be practical to install them in the ceiling. Houses that are cooling most of the year have the registers in the ceiling and home that heat most of the year tend to have the registers in the floor.

You should send the cool air wherever it will do the most good.

Check to see if the catalytic converter heat shield is in place or the converter has been hit and sitting too close to the floor pan.
the heat blows out the defrost when it should blow out floor vents only
it depends of your house. if it has more than one floor then it might not. it also depends on how many rooms has radiant floor
Radiant floor heat is considered by many to be better than central heat because it is much better for our environment. Another reason is that is cost less to heat your house using radiant floor heat than central heating.
