Exterior Steel Frame Glass Door Construction



Glass Divided Lites

A "lite" denotes each individual framed glass unit within a window or door. Meanwhile, a "mullion" represents the separating line within a window or door, which can take on either a tangible or simulated form. In the case of True Divided Lites (TDL), the window glass consists of multiple separate pieces, each divided by mullions that penetrate through the glass.

Conversely, in Simulated Divided Lites (SDL), the glass remains a single, substantial piece, with mullions positioned atop it, though they do not penetrate or intersect with the glass itself.


True Divided Lites - TDL

True Divided Lites
  • Simple to upkeep and clean; in the event of damage to a piece of the unit, it can be conveniently repaired without impacting the other glass sections.
  • Offers enhanced structural integrity as it boasts additional supporting bars that provide stability to the window.
  • Delivers an upscale appearance with a width measuring 1-5/8 inches.

Simulated Divided Lites - SDL

Simulated Divided Lites
  • Provides the best value for your budget.
  • Offers a similar aesthetic as True Divided Lite construction (TDL).
  • Simulated Divided Lites (SDL) allow for narrower mullion widths, measuring at 3/4 inches.
