Radius Muntins

A “muntin” is the narrow rigid strip of wood between adjacent glass panes on a door or window. Muntins can divide individual panes of glass (called True Divided Lite, or TDL), or may be manufactured as a grid overlaying a large single pane of glass (called Simulated Divided Lite, or SDL). Sun Mountain’s muntins are 2” wide (standard), and can be produced with a variety of square or decorative sticking profiles.

Sun Mountain can manufacture radius muntins, creating dramatic glass designs for interior or entry doors, and matching sidelites and transoms. For example, this beautiful entry door features a custom elliptical glass design, with a radius muntin interweaving through straight muntins crossing at the center. The muntin is an SDL grid over clear insulated glass. This 3/0 x 8/0 x 1-3/4” thick door is made of Knotty Alder and is finished in Sun Mountain’s Honey stain. It graces the entrance of a luxury home in Sunset, South Carolina.
