Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) grilles simulate the look of individual glass panels by attaching grilles to the interior and exterior of your windows. This provides a cost-effective way to achieve the look your clients want with endless design possibilities.
Here are four modern SDL trends that can update a traditional home:
- Sleek minimalism. SDL grilles can add a simple, sleek flare to the look of a traditional home. A custom design can incorporate a simple cross-section of a window, for example, to add a touch of interest while keeping the look clean and modern.
- Geometric designs. The resurgence of geometric patterns in modern design can be artfully incorporated into SDLs on older or more traditionally styled homes. Whether by a subtle pattern along the top of a window or a commanding grid throughout the whole windowpane, you can create a geometric design that’s just right to modernize your space.
- Custom asymmetry. Asymmetric SDL grilles can create interest in an otherwise traditional aesthetic by utilizing grids on a portion of the window. For example, adding grids to the top third of a window and leaving the rest clear can add a touch of modern elegance to a traditional home.
- Modern prairie. Prairie grilles are an age-old design, but modern twists can elegantly update traditional homes. Modern takes on prairie grids fill in some of the open center with traditional grilles.
