Window
grilles are an often underappreciated part
of your home’s windows. They offer you the flexibility to
meet both contemporary and traditional design wants, and with
the variety of styles and colors offered, you can uncover a combination to fulfill
whatever your heart desires.
Positives:
- Removable
between-the-glass grilles easily snap in and out so you have
the ability to change styles whenever you update your
home or change styles or paint.
- Regardless of the window grilles you go
with, there are a few color choices to meet
your design expectations.
- Grille options are available today with dual or
triple pane insulated glass to give you more energy
efficient selections than historical grilles used with
single-pane glass.
- Between-the-glass grilles and removable grilles
are available to allow for easier cleaning of the glass.
Now
that we’ve seen a handful of
positives of window grilles, let’s read about the
challenges that may come with window grilles.
Negatives:
- While there are a variety of
designs out there, some homeowners feel that a
few grille styles might obstruct their
view of the outdoors.
- Many window grilles are permanent once
installed, limiting design flexibility in the future.
- If grilles are bonded permanently to the surface
of the glass that needs to be cleaned, cleaning can be more of a headache.
- Replacement windows that feature
grilles are typically more costly
than those that don’t feature grilles.

you’re moving and need to purchase replacement windows or you’re
simply considering them for your current home, window
