Holding window grills in

Mar 02, 2006 4 Replies

I would like to make my own (interior) grills for the new windows I will be putting in my home, but I'm at a loss on how to hold them in. I have not found any widgets to put in the grill that will allow them to be easily removed, yet stay in place. Does anyone have a suggestion for this problem?



Using "window grill clips" in Google came up with this site ...

What sort of windows are you putting in? It's usually easiest to use the same attachment system that the manufacturer uses. Pella uses a brass tack into the window, and a clip in the end of the grille:

uses a metal spring clip for their wood grilles:

Tx both for the links.

They're Anderson. The key word I was missing in my google was 'clip'. I will have to look a the windows to see if there is an advantage to using thier hardware.

Actually, Andersen (note, two E's - will definitely affect your search) calls them fasteners in their product literature, IIRC. It's other people that call Andersen's clips clips. ;)
