Window
grilles are an often underappreciated piece
of your home’s windows. They give you the flexibility to
meet both contemporary and traditional design needs, and with
the variety of styles and colors offered, you can uncover a combination to achieve
whatever your heart desires.
Positives:
- Removable
between-the-glass grilles easily snap in and out so you can swap styles whenever you update your
home or change styles or paint.
- Regardless of the window grilles you go
with, there are multiple color choices to meet
your design needs.
- Grille options are available today with dual or
triple pane insulated glass to provide more energy
efficient choices than historical grilles used with
single-pane glass.
- Between-the-glass grilles and removeable grilles
are available to make
for a quick cleaning of the glass.
Now
that we’ve read a couple
positives of window grilles, let’s check out the
challenges surrounding window grilles.
Negatives:
- While there are a variety of
designs available, some homeowners feel that a
few grille styles might inhibit 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 typically cleaned, cleaning can be more of
a challenge.
- Replacement windows that tout
grilles are typically more pricey
than those that don’t have grilles.

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

next set of windows. There are a host of things to ponder, from style to color choice, but with a little help from our pros,
