Window grilles are decorative patterns on windows or doors to visually divide a piece of glass into smaller panes. Originally, window panes were created to join together many small window panes since it was impossible to transport large panels of glass without breaking it. With the advancement of technology, creating large seamless pieces of glass is no longer a problem.

Today, window grilles are purely used for aesthetic reasons. Window grilles are especially popular in traditional style home since they complement the home. A few examples of these are colonials, victorians, and cape cods since they were originally designed with window grilles.
