Traditional, doors were glass had individual panes held in place by wood or metal grilles, creating a pattern. As time has moved forward, doors tend to use a single pane of glass to increase energy efficiency in the home. The traditional divided look can be created by adding “dividers” to the glass in an array of profiles, sizes, and colors giving flexibility of style.
There are two options of dividing bars. Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) bars are applied to the surface of the tempered glass and can be situated in a variety of designs. Grilles between-the-glass (GBGs) are situated between the two tempered panes of glass, giving a divided appearance while allowing easy cleaning of the glass.
