Abstract
The insulated window assembly includes a pair of parallel-spaced glass panes, a plurality of intersecting metallic, internal muntin bars disposed in the space between the glass panes, a plurality of intersecting, wooden, exterior muntin bars affixed on the outer surface of the exterior glass pane and a plurality of wooden intersecting interior muntin bars affixed on the outer surface of the interior glass pane. The internal muntin bars have a thickness less than the space between the glass panes. The exterior and interior muntin bars are slightly wider than the internal muntin bars and are coincidentally aligned with each other and with the internal muntin bars to give the window panel assembly the appearance of a historically correct, authentic divided lite window having individual panes separated by conventional muntin bars.
