Grilles & Grids Options

Architectural Window & Door Grilles & Grids Options

Grids (or grilles) are decorative structural elements that divide window and door glass panes into smaller sections. Available in versatile styles ranging from traditional historic muntins to sleek contemporary lines, grilles add distinct architectural character and aesthetic depth to residential and commercial projects.

Historically originated to hold small, individual pieces of glass together, modern grids have evolved into a refined decorative element. They reflect architectural trends from Gothic and Colonial styles to contemporary minimalist designs. Yoowindows provides commercial builders, architects, and homeowners with versatile grid options to balance space division, architectural integrity, and unobstructed viewing.

1. SDL (Simulated Divided Lite) Bars

SDL (Simulated Divided Lite) bars provide an authentic, historic divided-light aesthetic while maintaining modern thermal performance. These decorative bars are applied to both the exterior and interior glass surfaces to replicate individual panes without the maintenance and structural weaknesses of traditional divided lites. Yoowindows offers SDL bars in various profile widths to match both traditional and modern architectural designs.

2. GBG (Grilles Between the Glass)

GBG (Grilles Between the Glass) offers a low-maintenance, practical solution for modern architectural projects. The grilles are permanently sealed inside the insulated double or triple glazing unit. This design leaves the exterior and interior glass surfaces completely smooth for effortless cleaning while maintaining energy efficiency and structural longevity.
