Window Grilles Raleigh Styles and Options

Window grilles, also called grids or muntins, are the decorative dividers that give windows a multi-pane appearance. In older homes they were functional, dividing a large opening into smaller panes of manageable glass. In modern windows they are purely aesthetic but still play an important role in the look of the home. Several grille styles are available from the manufacturers Harland Windows and Siding works with. Colonial grilles divide the window into a grid pattern and are the most traditional style. They are the right choice for homes with traditional or colonial architectural character. Prairie style grilles border only the perimeter of the glass with a few panes at the corners. This style suits craftsman and arts-and-crafts architectural styles and gives windows a more open feel than full colonial grilles.
