Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) grilles are a popular choice for both residential and commercial windows, offering the classic look of divided lites without sacrificing energy efficiency. These grilles are designed to mimic the appearance of individual panes of glass by adhering bars to both sides of a single pane. This creates the illusion of multiple panes while maintaining the benefits of a single, energy-efficient glass unit.
SDL grilles come in a variety of materials, including vinyl, aluminum, and AlumiGrain (vinyl-wrapped aluminum), allowing for customization to match different architectural styles and preferences. They are available in various profiles and patterns, from traditional rectangular designs to custom shapes. This versatility makes SDL grilles an excellent choice for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of windows while ensuring durability and ease of maintenance.
