Mullions/Muntins for Cabinet Doors

Mullions/Muntins are moldings that divide a frame door opening and either hold individual panes of glass (true divided lites) or more commonly serve as decorative accents over a single pane of glass. Using a mullion lite pattern with a frame cabinet door is a great way to enhance any cabinet project, combining functionality with stylish design. Kitchen cabinets, free standing furniture, built-ins, and other projects are easily customized by adding accent doors. WalzCraft is the industry leader, offering the most variety of lite patterns and options such as true divided lites, glass retainer and designer glass to compliment your project.

WalzCraft’s frame and mullion doors are engineered to hold 1/8“ thick glass using an optional rubber retainer. Wood retainer can also be used for glass 1/8“-1/4“ thick. 90° mullion joints are built using our half lap construction which produces a very clean and strong mullion joint. As part of the effort to be a single source provider, WalzCraft also offers a full line of Designer Cabinet Glass, Leaded Glass, and Wire Mesh Grilles. Adding one of these options to the already extensive line of mullion patterns provides endless possibilities for creative designs.

Whether a project calls for a simple, subtle accent door or a bold focal point design, WalzCraft has the mullion doors needed for any taste. The quality, styles, and extensive options are sure to please any customer.

Most mullion doors are manufactured by coping the mullion stock and gluing or stapling the pieces together. However, Half Lap Mullion Construction provides stronger joints and a cleaner overall appearance. WalzCraft uses the Half Lap Construction with all stile and rail profiles (with exception to Mullion Molding Stock #2043).

Anchoring at the Strongest Point Each horizontal and vertical mullion begins and ends at the strongest point: the inside edge of the cabinet door frame. Mullions that run end-to-end also create more consistent grain flow throughout the lite pattern	Keeping it Clean No pins or staples are used to join individual mullions together. Only the half lap and a little glue are needed to create this clean and structurally sound mullion joint.
A Crafted Appearance The precision of the half lap assembly produces virtually seamless mullion joints.	Each Joints Adds Strength A half lap at each mullion intersection adds strength to the overall lite pattern by tying in more connection points to the inside of the cabinet door frame.
