window frames
Glass panel borders
Window frames are the structural borders that hold glass panes in place within a wall opening.
They're typically made of wood, vinyl, aluminum, or fiberglass, and include the fixed outer frame plus any movable sashes.
The term often comes up in discussions of home renovation, energy efficiency, or maintenance: The old window frames were rotting and needed replacement.
