Simulated Divided Lites
SDL grilles create a traditional divided-lite look while maintaining a single sealed glass unit. They are a strong fit when the exterior needs richer architectural detail.

Grille Details That Shape the Whole Exterior
Compare grille type, pattern, width, and colour so the window package fits the architecture instead of feeling like an afterthought.
Grille Type
Compare the grille profile before choosing a pattern.
Grille type changes the window from clean and simple to traditional and decorative. Better View can help match the right profile to the home style, frame colour, and glass package.

Decide how much dimension the window should have.
SDL and internal grilles solve different design and maintenance needs. The best choice depends on architectural style, cleaning expectations, and budget.
Internal Grilles
Internal grilles sit between the glass, making them maintenance-friendly while still adding pattern, proportion, and visual detail to the window.
Colour and Pattern
Coordinate grille colour with the whole exterior.
Colours shown are visual references. Final grille colour, width, and availability should be confirmed with the window collection and glass package.

Planning Support
Grilles should feel connected to the architecture.
Match the home style
Colonial, prairie, pencil, SDL, and decorative grilles all change the character of the exterior.
Coordinate the colour
Grille colour should be reviewed with frame colour, hardware, entry door finish, and masonry or siding tones.
Confirm glass and cleaning
Internal grilles and SDL options have different maintenance and appearance considerations.
