Frequently asked questions
-
Do stick-on muntin bars work with insulated glass units?
Yes. Muntin bars are applied to the outer glass surface of an IGU, not to the seal, so the adhesive just needs to bond securely to glass, which is what these tapes are built for.
-
How long does a stick-on muntin bar installation take?
The tape performs immediately on application, so there's no curing or waiting time before the window or door can move on to the next stage of assembly.
