Choosing grilles for your windows or patio doors can be a fun project, as your grilles can give your home distinct character. However, it’s easy to make mistakes when doing this. Today, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania highlights common mistakes homeowners make when choosing window grilles, and how to avoid them.
Several hundred years ago, grilles were installed in windows to hold small glass panes together, as glass couldn’t be made into large panes. Glassmaking technology has come a long way since then. Modern windows are equipped with single panels of glass, and window grilles now serve as a reinforcing and/or decorative element.
Grilles can be installed on the glass or, in the case of double-pane glass, in between. This gives homeowners the benefits derived from energy-efficient glass, as well as the flexibility to choose the style that they want.
