News — window grilles

A sash divider is a single bar (or multiple bars) that is most often installed vertically in a window to divide the opening into several smaller spaces. Usually in the upper sash of a double hung, single hung, or transom window.

A complete window grille is both horizontal and vertical bars that intersect to divide the opening into multiple spaces in both directions. They can be installed in many types of windows and doors.

Many people think that the addition of grilles to their windows is difficult and expensive. At Fixhome, we’ve taken the guess work out of the process.

When it’s time to evaluate and update your home’s curb appeal, every little detail counts and window grilles are one such detail that shouldn’t be overlooked. Colonial window grilles have been popular since the early years of the American colonies and are still in demand for their timeless style and benefits. If you want to add an element of sophistication to your home, colonial window grilles will do the job perfectly. Today, we will discuss the top four benefits of having colonial window grids on your home and how they can add value to your property.

Improved Curb Appeal – Colonial window grids are functional and visually appealing decorative window treatments that impart a classic look. When you install colonial window grilles, you make a small investment that can significantly increase the value and appearance of your home. By doing so, you make your property a standout in the neighborhood.

Durability & Longevity – Wood window grilles are exceptionally durable, which means they will stand the test of time. Unlike other window treatments, they won’t rust or wear out quickly. With proper care, colonial window grilles can last for decades and save you money in the long run.

Versatility – Colonial window grilles come in various sizes, shapes, and styles, so you can choose the design that best suits your home’s architecture. Whether your home has a contemporary or traditional look, you’ll find colonial window grilles that match your style.

Easy Maintenance – Unlike other window treatments that require intricate cleaning, maintaining colonial window grilles is simple and straightforward. All you need is a damp cloth or a duster to remove dust or dirt that accumulates over time.

Drapes and blinds are tried-and-true window decorations that work well with many home interiors. However, sometimes you’d rather not hide the view and let the windows themselves act as a defining design element. When it comes to adding character to your windows, you have options. Here are six popular window dressings for home interiors:

1. Sophisticated Moldings and Casings--These design flourishes give your windows a classic allure without obstructing the view.

2. Shelving--A popular trend with some homeowners is to install shelving along their windows. This allows you to have more storage space without feeling too boxed in.

3. Window Grilles--Grilles create an attractive colonial or diamond pattern on the panes with minimal obstruction of the view.

4. Layered Windows--If you want to decorate your walls without blocking the natural light, try layering your windows with mirrors or paintings. A layered window creates a personalized decorative feel while preserving the sense of openness that sunlight creates.

5. Black or Dark Green Sashes--Your window’s sashes are the parts that hold the glass in place. By painting the sashes black or dark green, you transform your windows into bold yet elegant frames displaying the view to the outdoors like a work of art.

6. Interior Hinged Shutters--Hinged shutters provide several benefits while highlighting your decor. They can offer privacy and help to control light. Shutters add value to your home while saving energy costs by adding a measure of insulation.

Window treatments

The obvious solutions are drapes, curtains and wood blinds. They can give each room a new personality and a fresh look from both inside and out. Other great options that are easy and very affordable are window grilles.

Painting projects

The hot color for 2019 according to Pantone, the color expert for designers, is coral. If coral is not your jam there are many other great colors and color combinations that will help make a statement for any room, or for your whole house. Other color options can include your new window grilles, which can be stained or painted to match your décor.

Spring cleaning

Your windows have mostly collected a lot of dirt and grime from the outside winter weather. But if your house has been closed up all winter, like 70% of the US, there is a fair amount of grime collected on the inside as well from cooking, candles, forced air furnace and the fireplace. Window grilles, while adding value and extra personality, are easy to remove and reinstall for window cleaning.
