WHAT IS A GRID?
A grid is typically an aluminum flat bar or profile which is crossed inside an insulating unit to give a window a "divided lite" colonial appearance. This is referred to as a grid because of the equal boxes it creates.
TYPES OF GRIDS
Flat grids are 5/8 inch in width and referred to as flat due their smooth profile. Flat grids are the most economical grid available.
Sculptured grids are wider than flat grids at 1 and 1/16 inches in width. Sculptured grids have a higher profile than a flat grid as well as edge detail. Simulating a true divided lite -- as seen in wood windows -- a sculptured grid gives a higher-end look.
