Grille Patterns for Your Home's Style

One of the most essential things to consider when choosing newer and better windows is your home’s architectural style. This extends to grille patterns, which can help define the overall look of your home, fit in with neighborhood style, craft a historical feel, and more.

Let Renewal by Andersen help you select the grille pattern that works best for your home’s style.

1) Colonial—This grille option usually featured in double-hung windows and is recognizable by its muntins dividing six individual panes of glass in both the top and bottom panels of the windows. It’s simple, classic lines perfectly match the traditional look of Cape Cod and Colonial-style homes.

2) Prairie—A popular design in prairie-style homes, this option is typically paired with casement windows. This grid pattern lines the sides of the window, with small square panes or light in each corner. These corner panes are connected by a longer light along the top and bottom, which leaves the center plain.

3) Farmhouse—Clean and sleek lines characterize this grille, allowing it to fit farmhouse-style homes beautifully. This features two panes of glass separated by a muntin on both top and bottom sashes of double-hung windows. This results in a four-pane glass window when closed.

4) Modified Prairie—You might also like modified prairie grille. This option reduces the number of square panes or light in each corner of the window, aiming for a simpler look instead. Since it has fewer lines, the modified prairie provides your replacement windows with a larger glass area.

5) Simulated double-hung—Perhaps you want to match the look of a traditional window, but you want the convenience, efficiency, and ease of operation of a casement. Use a simulated double-hung grille to achieve your aesthetic AND operational goals.

6) Custom Grilles—have an idea for a unique pattern? Want to revive a pattern from the past or match something already elsewhere in your home? Custom grilles can be designed to many specifications and allow you to express your individual style.
