Exterior Steel Frame Glass Door Construction

Glass Divided Lites

A lite refers to each separately framed piece of glass on a window or door. A mullion is the line that forms a division in a window or door and this division can either be a real, or simulated.

True Divided Lites(TDL): the glass on the window isn't a single piece, but multiple pieces separated by mullions that go through the glass.

Simulated Divided Lites (SDL): the glass is a large, single piece with mullions placed on top of the glass, but they don’t cut through it.


True Divided Lites

True Divided Lites - TDL

  • Easy to maintain and clean; if a piece of the unit is damaged, you can easily repair it without affecting the rest of the lites
  • Structurally has more strength due to more bars stabilizing the window
  • High-end look. Width: 1-5/8".
Simulated Divided Lites

Simulated Divided Lites - SDL

  • Most cost-effective
  • Gives a similar appearance to TDL
  • SDL allow narrower width in mullions: 3.4".
