Choosing Grille Designs for Your Home Style

By

Whatever type, size or style you need for your home, you can be sure to find a solution from our suite of high-performance products. This includes the option to add accessories to your replacement windows, such as decorative grilles.


Choosing grilles can seem challenging, but it’s actually pretty simple and straightforward. Here are a few tips from our window experts at Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta.

Colonial Styles

The grille pattern that works best for the classic colonial home is a six-square grid pattern formed by two vertical muntins and a straight horizontal one. Depending on the size of your replacement windows, you can increase the pattern into a 3×3 grid, although the 2×6 is typically the most common layout. Sashes and trims are usually colored white to contrast against dark-colored siding characteristic of colonial architecture, although you may still choose from a wider palette of colors.

Prairie Homes

The prairie-style home used to be the banner choice in bucolic locales but can now be found in Anytown, USA. Casement windows are a staple in prairie homes which is then framed by one or two muntins that leave a large area of unobstructed glass in the middle of the windows, forming four thin rectangular areas along the sides, and four small squares in the corners.

Customized Grilles

Sticking to your home’s traditional architecture has many advantages, but so does making a pattern of your own. Contact your windows contractor about custom-designed grilles that can help elevate your typical window replacement job into a well-deserved facelift for your home.

Single-Pane Vs. Double-Pane Vs. Triple-Pane Windows

By

If you’ve ever shopped around for windows before then it’s likely you’ve come across single, double and triple-pane glazing options. The glass panes refer to the actual sheet of glass that provides windows with its signature look, and, over the years, manufacturers have developed these once-inefficient glazing options into the high-performance, energy-efficient windows of today. Unfortunately, these innovations meant there are now dozens of glazing options that customers have to sort through.


Let our windows professionals at Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta walk you through the three primary types of glass options you might encounter in your search for the right replacement windows for your home.

Single-Pane Windows

Modern single-pane windows are now a rarity. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find manufacturers or installers who still offer this type of glass on their windows (or even doors). Single-pane glass is prone to a lot of problems like condensation and drafts, making them a poor choice for homes in any climate.

Double-Pane Windows

Double-pane windows are characterized by two sheets of glass enveloping a thin film of inert gas, typically Argon or Krypton. The gas greatly increases the windows thermal insulation properties (U factor) and also helps prevent condensation problems. The dual-layer also absorbs more noise, giving your home much better noise-reduction levels.

Triple-Pane Windows

In terms of performance, triple-pane windows greatly outperform double and single-pane variants. But the difference between triple-pane and double-pane windows is typically too negligable to warrant any pressing need for this type of glazing. Still, it’s a good investment in home improvement if you plan on staying in your home for decades, which is enough time to recoup its costs in energy savings.

Jalousie Windows: Rise, Fall and Modern Alternatives

By

A piece of trivia: did you know that the jalousie window was derived from the French word jaloux, which meant jealousy? Apparently, its design provoked jealousy from outsiders because those inside a home with a jalousie could peer outside, but one outside couldn’t see inside. This outdated notion came to refer to an outdated window type in itself during the 1960s when central air conditioning became common.
