glazings
Donut's sweet coatings
Glazings is the plural of glazing, referring to glass surfaces installed in windows, doors, or other openings: The building's glazings were designed to maximize natural light.
In construction, glazings may specify different types—double glazings, triple glazings—based on the number of pane layers for insulation.
The term also covers protective coatings or finishes applied to ceramics or pastries.
