Meeting Rail

The part of a sliding window, a sliding glass door, or a hung window where two panels meet, and create a weather barrier.

Metal Spacer

Spacer used in lower end windows.  Conducts heat and cold through the window and typically carries a lower warranty.

Mullion

A major structural vertical or horizontal member between window units.   UniShield windows can be factory mulled, or mulled in the field.
