muntin

Window grid bar

A muntin is one of the strips of wood or metal that divide and hold the panes of glass in a window or door.

Traditional windows with multiple small panes have muntins forming a grid pattern, while modern windows often use decorative muntins applied to a single large pane to simulate the older style.

The craftsman carefully restored the original muntins in the Victorian home's windows.
