Take a trip back in time! Or rather, look up your home’s architectural style in our Home Style Library.Whether you’re looking for historical accuracy or something more modern, there’s a range of styles that can be created with more traditional grilles. Select a thinner width to further the look and put the emphasis on the glass - a hallmark of modern window design. The contemporary profile has clean lines and right angles, which gives a more modern look. They’re available in a variety of styles and widths. Profiles are the bars applied to the glass to create grille patterns. Select the “contemporary” grille profile.To get this look, select the flexible specified equal light pattern. It’s commonly found on windows in mid-century homes and looks particularly sharp on dark windows. One of our favorites is the ladder-like pattern created by only using horizontal grille bars (no vertical grille bars). To achieve this look, select the semi-customizable specified equal light pattern and add a single vertical grille bar through the center of the top and bottom sashes on a double-hung window. A two-over-two pattern (two lights on top and two on the bottom) nods to tradition but looks updated. Finelight grilles-between-the-glass with exterior grilles are a variation on the above that give a distinctive look to your home’s exterior while also easing interior cleaning.They are permanently applied in between the panes of a window’s glass. Finelight™ grilles-between-the-glass are the best option if you want grilles and the ability to clean easily both inside and out.Removable interior-only grilles add a subtle pattern, which also makes windows super easy to clean.

They are permanently applied to the exterior with corresponding grilles on the interior that can be either permanently applied or removable (if you want the option of easier interior cleaning).

Tall fractional grilles: This pattern of taller, vertical grilles in the upper part of the window’s glass is often used to replicate the look of a double-hung window and is popular in craftsman bungalow homes. Short fractional grilles: This pattern of shorter vertical grilles in the upper part of the window's glass is often used to replicate the look of a transom window (aka a window above a window). One popular option is a simple pattern of overlapping lines framing the edge of the window glass.ĭiamond grilles: This ornate pattern of crisscrossing diagonal lines creates a diamond grid and appears most frequently in Tudor, Gothic, or other highly decorative architectural styles. Prairie-style grilles: This semi-customizable pattern comes from the Prairie architectural style - think the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. It complements many traditional home styles - Cape Cods, colonials and more. Colonial grilles: This simple, symmetrical grid pattern is intended to replicate the old-world charm of individual glass panes (lights/lites) held together with muntions.
