Muntins between glass upgrade#
Make sure to call Kroll Construction if you’re considering a major upgrade for your next exterior home improvement project. Both can also be considered window grilles, which is a more universal word that covers mullions and muntins as well as other relative terms such as windowpane dividers and grids. However, understanding the difference may be necessary if you’re planning to add either mullions or muntins as a visual upgrade for your new windows. They can also be in between the panes of insulated glass. They also don’t typically affect a modern window’s performance as they’re commonly made by sandwiching thin strips of aluminum or plastic between a double-paned glass. Muntins can be placed over the glass pane on inside of the house and the outside of the house. Typical units are made with 1-3/4 frame in. Many window companies don’t normally prioritize differentiating the two terms because not all buyers take the time to know their definitions. Vertical muntins can be fabricated to divide any interior frame or create a corner between our framed blind units. This structural support prevented the weight of the walls from breaking the large glass and collapsing, by keeping the weight transmitted vertically. They were traditionally designed to provide additional support to the outer walls of early structures that had large windows. These are the vertical dividers that separate glass panes in windows.
Muntins, on the other hand, technically refer to any kind of vertical divider on wood panels, furniture, doors and so on. Mullions do not refer to both the vertical and the horizontal pieces, but only to the vertical pieces of wood separating the panes of glass. Compared to muntins, mullions are thicker and heavier in weight because they’re traditionally designed to divide larger window frames while keeping them in place. These can be purchased with or without the white grid between the panes. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a mullion as the vertical bar between the glass panes of a window. You can select glass pane thickness and overall sealed window unit thickness.
