mullions
Vertical window strips
Mullions are the vertical bars dividing the panes of a window, especially in older architectural styles.
They provide structural support and create the grid pattern characteristic of traditional windows: The morning light filtered through the mullions.
The horizontal counterparts are called transoms or muntins.
