Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
I'm not sure how windows are installed elsewhere. But here usually you have a good wall thickness. It's not uncommon to have aluminum/ steel shutters that swing outwards. For privacy. some form of screen for bugs. And then on the inside casement windows that swing on the inside. Either the normal kind or the tilt and turn style shown in the post (I think that's how it's said in English).
In this case it's shutters with adjustable slats to let more or less light in. A steel "grating" (not sure how it's called in English) for safety and a twin casement window.
Shutters are less commonly used here, usually found more on older homes. Their intended purpose is protection during storms, but sometimes people install "fake" ones just as decoration.
For light management/privacy, most houses I've seen have adjustable blinds inside that you raise or lower to let more or less light in.
Grating or grates is right, and sometimes people just call them window bars.
