Exterior Steel Frame Glass Door Construction


Glass Divided Lites

Lites are the separate pieces of glass in a door. Lites can be truly divided, singular pieces or simulated divided. The division is achieved by mullions.

True Divided Lites(TDL): multiple separated pieces of glass divided by mullion lines that go in the glass.

Simulated Divided Lites (SDL): a single section of glass that has the appearance of division through applied mullions.


True Divided Lites - TDL

True Divided Lites
  • True divided lites are easy to replace, repair and clean due to the individual nature
  • Has more strength due to the stabilization from the mullions through the glass
  • Width of 1-5/8" on the mullions

Simulated Divided Lites - SDL

Simulated Divided Lites
  • More affordable construction
  • Has a similar separated design
  • Can be used with more narrow mullions, down to 3/4"
