Between-The-Glass Grilles
Between-the-glass grilles are installed permanently between the glass panes during manufacturing. These fasteners are more efficient and easy to clean. While these grilles aren’t an actual security system, they are an effective way to prevent children and burglars from entering your home. However, these grilles can’t replace real home security systems and adult supervision, so you should only install them on windows in high-risk areas.
The benefits of between-the-glass grille-fastened windows are many. First, they can create a traditional look by resembling divided window panes. They can also be removable. So if you ever decide to change the look of your home, you can pop the grille out and replace it with a different style. Moreover, these grilles are easy to clean because they snap into the interior sash.
Wooden Grilles
If you’re considering replacing your old wooden window grilles, there are a few advantages of using a mechanical fastener. These are available in a wide variety of styles, from simple push pins to screws. A mechanical fastener is less visible than a screw but is still very secure. In addition, you can choose to use screws or clasps hidden within the grille, such as the Stainless Steel Concealed Clip.
Exterior wood grilles are made of Fibrex composite material. These window grilles snap into clips on the interior sash. You can remove them to clean the glass, but they aren’t as durable as stainless steel. Interior wood grilles are made of unfinished or stained pine and are available in prefinished white and oak. You can also choose from different finishes, including bright, matte, or dyed wood.
Integrated Light Technology(r) Grilles
Integrated Light Technology(r) window grills offer numerous advantages over traditional metal grilles. They are made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials that resist fading. As a result, these window grilles offer added style to your home without sacrificing security. To install an Integrated Light Technology window grille, follow these simple instructions. These window grilles have pre-cut, mushroom-like heads that fit snugly into the window grille.
Another benefit of this window grille fastener is its dual-lock adhesive system. This innovative fastener system allows grilles to attach to windows without additional fasteners, including push pins. Dual-lock adhesive is also available in two styles: flush-mount and recessed-bar style. In addition, the dual-lock adhesive is easily removed after installation. This fastener is ideal for window grilles that have a light-colored grille bar.
Aluminum Bars
If you want to install a window grille, you can use aluminum bars as fasteners. However, if you plan to use the bars to secure the window unit grille, you must follow the instructions carefully. If you have little experience, you can also use the 3M Dual Lock adhesive fasteners. These are low-profile and work well with grilles of light colors. On the other hand, darker-colored bars will need other fasteners, such as a screw.
Stainless Steel Concealed Clips
Stainless steel concealed clips for window grilles are used on many types of windows. These fasteners are used on single-hung windows and double-hung windows. These fasteners have a thin point that slides between the wood and glass grid, securing the window grille to the window unit. Stainless steel concealed clips are also available in bronze and white.
Invisible grills are made of thin steel wire and look like nothing is installed, making them ideal for many applications. Their original purpose was to prevent fires because traditional iron windows blocked escape. Today, they are often used in high-rise balconies for safety and security. These fasteners are also easy to cut off in case of an emergency. In addition, invisible grills are ideal for apartments and condos where occupants may want to keep an eye on them but do not want to be seen.
