Which grille bar profile should I choose?
The term "Profile" refers to the shape of the bar used to create a window grille. We offer a variety of profiles to give you options on how you want the grilles to look in your windows. You can choose a minimal or bold look, the choice is yours.
Basic Profile Grilles:
This simple profile can be used in most any wood window where slide-by-clearance is not an issue. The Basic Profile Grille offers 1 bar profile; M-Pine (7/16" x 5/8") and one fastener; (LCS-034 Anvil Pin).
M-Pine - 7/16" x 5/8"
Standard Profile Grilles:
Should be used where slide-by clearance is not an issue. Examples include wood double hung, casement windows, and wood patio doors. Images show inside view.

O1-Pine - 7/16" x 7/8"

Low Profile Wood Grilles:
Use this where slide-by clearance presents a challenge, such as with vinyl double-hung windows, glider/slider windows, and vinyl patio doors. The profile is a mere 5/16" in height, thus requiring at least 3/8" clearance in your window.

This product is made from PVC vinyl and is ideal for situations where slide-by clearance is a concern, such as with vinyl double-hung, glider/slider windows, and vinyl patio doors. The profile height is 5/16", requiring a minimum clearance of 3/8" in your window.
