 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott DeWitt is the absolute 100% reason for my review being 5 stars instead of 3. He was a great installer, timely, respectful, genuine, and did the job right. Everything else unrelated to his work wasn’t all that impressive. Thanks Scott for the top tier work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered this company while visiting relatives in Ohio. Since our initial contact to replace two sets of French Doors, the entire process has been exceptional, simple, and the products are of the highest quality (while not the priciest in the market!) No hesitation to recommend this company to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keith came out to review and quote our project. He was timely and informative. Then Thomas came out to install the windows - he was early (AWESOME), polite, completed the task quickly, and cleaned up after himself. We are happy with our windows too - they look great. We'll definitely work with this team again on our future window projects.

From glass block windows to stained glass, there are so many ways to style and design windows to fit whatever architectural style your home has. One of the most popular choices for window accessories are grilles. Grilles serve a dual-purpose: to improve your curb appeal and to provide an additional layer of security for your home.

Despite its many advantages, grilles are not suitable for some homes. Unfortunately, deciding when to use them is a little challenging for some homeowners. So, here are a few pointers on how to properly and beautifully add grilles to your home.

Consider Your Home Style

Before you make any design decisions, it’s always a good idea to start with your current architecture. Unless you’re planning to take on a full exterior remodeling, you want to ensure that grilles will work seamlessly with the rest of your home. Traditional styles, such as the American Prairie or the classic Victorian, lends themselves well with window embellishments, but the same cannot be said with some modern and postmodern houses.

Practicality

Exterior grilles can be a great way to upgrade your curb appeal, but they can also make cleaning and maintenance a little more difficult. You should weigh practicality as a factor on whether you want to put up grilles on your windows or not. Additionally, if a window is placed specifically to frame an incredible view of the outdoors, obscuring it with a grid-pattern might diminish the view a little bit.

Privacy and Protection

While grilles might not be as good as glass block windows for privacy purposes, they are the better option when it comes to protection. Some homeowners choose to install grilles on windows that are obscured from view, which can be exploited by unscrupulous characters.
