Grille (grid)
The decorative bars that give a window a divided-pane look. Sold three ways: sealed inside the glass, stuck on the surface, or as true separate panes.
What it means for you
A pure aesthetic choice with a cleaning-and-cost angle. Grilles between the glass wipe clean flat; on-surface and true-divided grids look more authentic but cost more and are more to clean.
Where you'll see it
A styling line on the quote (“colonial grids,” “5/8-inch flat grille”).
Don't be fooled
A rep may hint grids “trap dust” or are hard to clean — only the on-surface and true-divided types add cleaning; between-the-glass grids don't.
