THE ACTUAL TERM FOR THE GRILLS INSIDE A DOUBLE GLAZED UNIT THAT GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF DIVIDING THE SASH INTO SEPARATE PANES OF GLASS. THEY ARE HERMETICALLY SEALED IN A DOUBLE GLAZED UNIT; SOME SINGLE GLAZED UNITS ARE DESIGNED TO ALLOW THEIR REMOVAL FOR WINDOW WASHING. (SEE "LIGHT").
Wood bars used to hold glass panes in divided light windows.
A decorative design in cut-ups of glass lites, such as painted muntin grids (enamelite) applied to an interior lite of glass in a sealed insulated glass unit to simulate cut-ups of glass lites either in colonial or diamond patterns, or use of aluminum muntin bar between lites of glass in a sealed insulated glass unit to simulate glass cut-ups, or use of actual vertical and horizontal bars to divide windows into smaller lites of glass. The bars are termed muntin bars.
Metal or wood strips that are installed over the caulk line. Metal muntins can be installed at the factory or shipped in raw lengths to be installed at the job site.

A short "bar," horizontal or vertical, extending from a bar to a stile or rail or another bar.
Are typically decorative in nature. Muntins can be a strip of wood or metal separating and holding panes of glass in a window. Today, they are typically installed for decorative purposes only since normally one pane of glass is used for the entire window opening. Today, they are veneered on both sides of a piece of window glass to duplicate the type of window look shown on the plans of the home.
In glazed lite assemblies, thin vertical and horizontal divider bars, which give the lite a multi-paned look. Muntins may be part of lite frames, and on the outside surface of the glass, or assembled between glass in insulated glass units.
