glass panes

See-through building panels

Glass panes are flat sheets of glass fitted into windows, doors, or frames.

A single window may contain one pane or multiple panes separated by muntins: The old farmhouse had twelve-pane windows.

Pane alone usually means glass pane, making the full phrase somewhat redundant except when emphasizing the material: We replaced the broken glass panes with plexiglass.
