Grilles can add significant charm and beauty to your replacement windows. Renewal by Andersen® of Central PA offers a wide range of grille patterns, making it easy to find one that suits your style. Here are our top picks for different home styles:
Prairie Style
Casement windows are a great addition to the clean lines of Prairie homes. Enhance their beauty by pairing them with grilles that feature a small square pane in each corner. Leave the center plain by connecting each pane by a longer light on the top and bottom of your window.
Colonial and Cape Cod Styles
This home style would look best with double hung windows that feature six individual panes of glass separated by muntins. This pattern highlights the style’s traditional look and provides decent coverage while still allowing natural light to enter your home. For fancier Colonial or Cape Cod homes, picture windows with broad glass spaces and small paned grilles are an excellent choice.
Modern or Contemporary Homes
Certain grille patterns can highlight your home’s contemporary appeal. Install a plain horizontal valance on your picture or casement windows to add an interesting feature without disrupting the view. Adding these along the top and bottom of your windows creates the illusion of operating awning windows.
Tudor Styles Tudor-style homes, with their brick and exposed timber accents, would benefit from diamond-pattern grilles that emphasize their Old World look. Whether the pattern covers the entire panel or just a portion of it, the rustic appeal of a diamond grid is a sure hit. Stay true to your home’s architectural style by investing in double hung or casement windows.
