Mull (mulled unit)

Two or more units — a door with its sidelites, or windows joined side by side — factory-joined into one assembly. “Mulling” is the joining.

What it means for you

A factory-mulled unit is generally stronger and better-sealed than pieces joined on-site, and it installs as one. The trade-off is size: a big mulled assembly can be hard to get through the house and into the opening.

Where you'll see it

Entry-door-with-sidelites orders and multi-window combinations.
