What term is used to describe the white trim located within the glass of a window?

Baseboard
Quarter Round
Mullion
Crown Moulding

The correct answer is: Mullion

The term used to describe the white trim located within the glass of a window is "mullion." A mullion is specifically a vertical or horizontal element that divides adjacent window units, creating separate sections of glass within a single window frame. This design feature not only enhances aesthetics but also serves functional purposes such as added structural support between panes of glass. Baseboards are horizontal boards running along the base of a wall, typically covering the joint between the wall and the floor, while crown moulding is decorative trim installed at the junction of walls and ceilings. Quarter round is used as a finishing touch at the baseboards and is a quarter-round shaped strip that covers gaps between surfaces. Each of these terms refers to different types of trim used in carpentry and interior design, distinguishing them from the specific purpose and location of the mullion in window design.
