As you can see by my name I am definitely not Ralph and upon his return I shall disappear, promise! I am not as knowledgable as the inimitable Ralph and shall have trouble being as regular but I shall attempt to help fill a large void in a small way.
OK Forumites, an easy one to start with:
What is a "Muntin"?
A tin you put your muns in?
Is it anything like a merkin?Quote:

Ahh thanks for topping off my week NewRalph!!
They're actually little people from Muntinland in the land of Oz.
They were the ones that spawned the famous bumpersticker;
"I'm a Muntin man, and I love Muntin women!"
Cheers,

I think it's a part of a window frame, but it's not the main frame.
Or something like that!

its the vertical framing bit between door panels and its used often in drawer construction to strengthen the drawer bottom at least thats what I call it.

Thanks to Beejay1, I now remember its a vertical framing addition to the centre of a multiple glass framed window, which gives strength to hold the multiple glass windows in a window.
If you have a window with nine pieces of glass all individually framed, then the centre frame is, or has, a muntin, which is a strengthening frame that more or less holds it all together.
After reading this it doesn't make sense but I know what I'm talking about, I think!

I thought that was a mullionQuote:

A muntin is a strip of wood or metal separating and holding panes of glass in a window.
