Interior window grilles, once popular design elements, can now feel outdated or obstruct natural light. Removing them can rejuvenate your space and enhance your home’s interior. To remove roomside wood grilles on Architect Series and Pella ProLine products, follow the instructions in the Pella Window and Patio Door Owner’s Manual.

Removing interior window grilles is a simple and rewarding task that can enhance your home’s interior and maximize its potential. To clean the grilles, cut VHB tape and heat the adhesive with a hairdryer to soften it. Gently pry the grids using a putty knife or similar tool, taking care not to damage the glass.

The best way to delicately remove the grilles is to grap the grid directly in the middle and bow it out gently. It is important to keep an eye out for the little plastic receivers that may fall out of the wood frame.

For those looking to repair or replace “fixed” grilles, schedule a consultation virtual and consult with a window and patio door professional.
