A mullion is the bar or bars in the middle of a window. A muntin is the bar on the outside of the window. == I have heard much debate about this question this is how I understand it. A window sash is made of the stiles, rails and muntins. The rails being the top and bottom and the stiles the sides that ride in the jamb, the muntins are the thin pieces of wood that divide the sash into lites. There is a small lip on the back of the muntin that the panes of glass are bedded to then glazed. Mullions are the vertical trim pieces that divide the windows in a ganged window, for instance a triple window would have two mullions separating the middle window from the outer windows.

What is a door removable mullion?

I haven't heard of a 'door removable mullion' but a door with a removeable mullion is a double doorset with a post which each leaf closes on to. The idea of the mullion can be for several reasons, the most common being for acoustic performance and security. Back to the removable mullion part, this is so that the post can be removed for passing large objects through e.g. a grand piano.


How do you remove a commercial door mullion?

To remove a commercial door mullion, first ensure that the door is secured and will not move. Use a screwdriver or drill to detach any screws or fasteners holding the mullion in place. If the mullion is also sealed with caulk or adhesive, carefully cut through these with a utility knife. Once detached, gently pull the mullion away from the door frame, ensuring not to damage surrounding components.
