Divided Lite Options Expand the character of your home or project by adding one of our divided lite options to your windows and doors. Choose anything from a traditional, colonial-style pattern to a unique, custom design to accentuate the overall appearance of your project. Kolbe offers two types of divided lites for Ultra Series products: performance divided lites and grilles-in-the-airspace. As standard, wood bars have a beveled profile, however, an ovolo profile or a square profile is also available. Divided lite cross section drawings can be found on pg. 213.
Performance Divided Lites
Grilles-in-the-Airspace Kolbe’s performance divided lite (PDL) glazing system gives the appearance of true divided lites without sacrificing energy efficiency. Extruded aluminum bars are adhered to the exterior and pine bars are adhered to the interior of the single lite of insulating glass. Aesthetically pleasing spacer bars are installed within the insulating glass unit. Together, these bars create the illusion of true divided lites. PDL bars are available in 5/8", 7/8", 1-1/8", 1-3/8", 1-3/4", 2-1/4" or 4-1/2" bar widths. The exterior finish of the aluminum bars will match the exterior finish on the unit. Variations on the PDL option may include custom grille patterns, custom bar widths or no spacer bars. Some designs may have a composite material for the exterior PDL bar. Grilles-in-the-airspace are constructed with aluminum bars sealed between two panes of insulating glass, offering the look of divided panes while reducing cleaning time. For units with 7/8" insulating glass, contoured, 3/4" wide bars are standard in White, Beige, Sand, Rustic, Hartford Green and Chutney. Optional colors are light wood and dark wood faux finishes. Two-tone contour or flat grilles are available with either light or dark wood faux finishes to the interior and White to the exterior. Also available for 7/8" insulating glass are 5/16" wide Brass and Pewter pencil bars. Glazing Beads & Muntin Bars As standard, glazing beads have a beveled profile, but may also be ordered with an ovolo or square profile. Matching muntin bars are available on units with performance divided lites (PDL). Units will have beveled muntin bars on the exterior, regardless of which profile is chosen for the interior (See divided lite cross section drawings on pg. 213).
