Grilles between glass

GBG — grilles between glass

Decorative grille bars sealed inside the insulated glass unit, between the panes.

What it means for you

The low-maintenance grid: the glass faces stay flush, so you wipe straight across — the common “grids make it hard to clean” worry doesn't apply. The trade is a slightly less authentic look than bars mounted on the glass.

Where you'll see it

The default grid option on most vinyl replacement windows.

Don't be fooled

“Between-the-glass grids are harder to clean” is simply untrue — that's the whole point of putting them inside.

Also sold as: between-the-glass grids
