Muntins: Timeless Glass Design

Your project calls for windows or doors but you want to add some sophistication to the glasswork. Whether your project is historic or modern, muntins are the right finishing touch for glass windowpanes. 

Window muntins are a timeless favorite for glass design. Developed in Greece in the 17th century, glass muntins have gone from filling functional needs to now serving decorative purposes. 

Modern muntin bars are usually flat or contoured grids made from plastic or aluminum. Some manufacturers still make windows with muntins bars as glass artisans from centuries ago did -- a popular option for restoration or replacement projects.

Paying Homage to History

Windows are one of the most commonly replaced components of older buildings. That comes as no surprise as windows are always exposed to the elements and display their age if not maintained.

Selecting the right muntin style easily complements a building’s architecture and pays homage to its original construction era. Paying attention to a small(er) detail, such as a window’s or door’s appearance, is critical for those trying to complete a true restoration of a property without obvious modern materials.

Common Types of Muntins

A finishing element that provides definition and scale, there are three common muntin window grid types: 

  1. Permanent: This style is installed between two panes of glass. It eliminates the need for regular cleaning. 
  2. Removable: This muntin type is usually affixed to the interior facing side of a window and can be taken off. 
  3. Simulated: Adhered to either the interior or exterior surface of a window, a simulated muntin becomes part of a window, but cannot be removed.
