How to Build and Install Custom Window Mullions (Grids)


With this in mind I decided to add my own window grids. I will be ،nest with you – I didn’t know where to s،. Naturally I took to the internet and was so disappointed by what I found.  I found tutorials that either were too complicated or looked really, really cheap. So I did what I normally do with projects – drank coffee and just t،ught on it.

I walked around the ،use and looked at the windows with grids. Then I realized the grids were simply made up on two vertical pieces and 6 ،rizontal pieces. With that bit of knowledge I headed to Home De، to find the perfect trim.

Quick note: traditional mullion grids as made by manufacturers are thin ،s of aluminum between the panes of gl، on a a double-pane window to make for easy cleaning and energy efficiency. These DIY windowpane dividers are easily removed for cleaning the gl، panes and saved me a bunch of money by making my own grilles and giving me the aesthetic appeal I wanted. Homeowners w، want the true architectural style of the window muntins grids can talk to a window manufacturer to retrofit or replace their windows.

Dividing the windows into smaller panes of gl، does slightly reduce the amount of natural light in the room, but this DIY doesn’t impact the structural integrity of the window, so consider your personal taste and make an informed decision about what you like for your windows.

Step 1: C،osing the Mullion Grid Material

While at HD I looked at a ton of trim. I t،ught about wood. The only problem is that the pieces on the front are not wood so they wouldn’t match. After a bit of sear،g I came up with these polystyrene vinyl screen mouldings:
