Mullions are structural elements that divide window panes into smaller sections, called quarters. The name comes from the German language – from the word Sprosse, which means rung. In Polish, they are sometimes also called muntins. Why are muntins used in windows and doors with glazing? In the past, technological limitations prevented the production of large glass panes, so muntins were necessary to increase the area of glazing in windows. Today, thanks to the possibility of creating large panes of glass, their main function is to give windows aesthetic values. Windows with muntins emphasize the elegance, luxurious character and prestige of the building.
1. Structural muntins (fixed)
Structural muntins are real window divisions. They are made of the same material as the window frame – wood, PVC or aluminium. Each field divided by muntins is filled with a separate pane, which gives the window an authentic, classic look.
- Durability and solidity of construction.
- Classic, elegant look.
2. Glued muntin bars
Glued glazing bars are mounted directly on the glass surface, on the inside and outside of the glass. This solution imitates the appearance of structural glazing bars, but is cheaper and lighter.
A wide range of veneers and the entire RAL colour palette are available. PVC glued muntin bars are available in three widths: 23 mm, 33 mm and 43 mm, and some types allow the use of Acrycolor® technology.

4. Inter-glass glazing bars
The glazing bars are placed between the insulating glass panes, so they do not interfere with the surface of the outer and inner glass. This solution combines the aesthetics of the glazing bars with the ease of keeping them clean.
