Matching Window Grille Patterns and Home Styles

There’s more than just glass and frames to window styles. Grille patterns are not just accent pieces; the choice of the right grille pattern can make your windows more in tune with your home’s architectural style. They can also make your replacement windows in Harrisburg, PA, look more exciting and less plain-looking.

Whether you’re after a traditional or a modern look, there’s a grille pattern that will work with your home’s style. Renewal by Andersen® of Central PA offers the following options:

1. Colonial grille

Taking its cue from traditional Colonial-style and Cape Cod homes, Colonial grilles are typically featured in double hung windows in Harrisburg, PA, but can work with other window styles. They are easily recognized for their six symmetrically arranged glass panes, separated by muntins.

2. Farmhouse grilles

They are perfect for a minimalist-looking double-hung windows installed on high ceilinged homes. A single muntin divides a two-pane sash, giving it a classic storybook two-by-two pane look when closed.

3. Prairie grille

If you’re going for a traditional prairie-style home, you can’t get more authentic than this option. The grid pattern creates nine panes, with the surrounding eight panes “framing” the oversized central one. Prairie grilles are typically paired with casement windows in Harrisburg, PA.

4. Modified prairie grilles

As the name implies, they take their cue from prairie grilles, but with fewer panes. This gives the window a partially “framed” look. This simpler look gives your replacement windows a bigger viewing area.

5. Simulated double-hung grilles

Choose this grille style to enjoy the benefits of a casement window, and have the look of more traditional windows. The top half would usually be a fixed sash, while the bottom half operates like a small casement window.

6. Custom grilles

If you have something more customized in mind, or if you want to match a unique design in your home, go for custom grilles. They are the perfect match to your Renewal by Andersen custom replacement windows.
