A mullion is a vertical element that forms a division between units of a window, door, or screen, or is used decoratively.When dividing adjacent window units, its primary purpose is to provide structural support to an arch or lintel above the window opening. Its secondary purpose may be as a rigid support to the glazing of the window. When used to support glazing, they are often teamed with horizontal elements called "transoms" which divide an opening's upper part into one or more additional lights.
In the commercial door industry, the term "floating mullion" is also applied to an interlock profile which is fitted in between a pair of double swing doors.
