What is the difference between Simulated and True Divided Light?
True divided lights are individual panes of glass, held together by muntin bars. These windows are similar to those found in colonial times. While they look very much like the windows of yesteryear, with today’s technology, these windows are extremely energy efficient and feature insulated glass or insulated Low E2 glazing. Simulated divided light windows use just one piece of glass, but have grilles adhered to the interior and exterior of the window in a variety of decorative options to give the window an overall look of true divided light. Often available with removable grilles, these windows are easy to clean.
