Georgian glass brings a sense of timeless charm with its signature grid patterns, inspired by traditional window design. It’s an elegant way to introduce heritage style to both classic and contemporary homes.
Georgian bars are a classic design feature that adds character and charm to any home. Whether you’re working on a period property or looking to enhance the appearance of modern windows, Georgian bars can give your windows that distinctive, traditional look. At Glasscraft, we offer three types of Georgian bars: Internal, Authentic, and Grill – each designed to meet different needs and preferences. Let’s take a look at the differences and how they can be specified for your project.
Internal Georgians are a popular choice for those wanting to create a traditional look with the convenience of modern double glazing. These bars simulate the look of traditional window mullions and transoms but are placed inside the sealed unit. The beauty of internal Georgians is that they maintain the easy to clean and energy efficient benefits of double glazing while still offering the aesthetic of a classic Georgian window.
These bars are perfect for properties where you want to mimic the style of original Georgian windows without the hassle of individual panes. They can be customised to create a range of designs, from simple to more complex patterns. Glasscraft can manufacture these bars in-house, offering flexibility and a wide range of design options.
Authentic Georgian bars, also known as internal spacer bars, muntin bars, or inter bars, give the illusion of multiple individual panes of glass within a single sealed unit. This style is perfect if you’re looking for a truly authentic Georgian window look.
Unlike internal Georgians, authentic Georgians use externally mounted stick-on profiles to create the traditional appearance of individual panes. This method is often chosen for properties where the authentic look is paramount, such as period homes or conservation areas where maintaining the heritage of the property is important.
Glasscraft offers various solutions to match the colours of the perimeter spacer bars, allowing the entire window unit to maintain a seamless and authentic appearance.
Georgian grills, also known as Victorian grill bars, offer a more robust and structured look. These bars are typically 6mm (gold) or 8mm (chrome) in diameter and are made from tubular construction. While they give a solid, traditional look, the design flexibility is somewhat limited because the tubes collapse when bending.
Georgian grills are ideal for commercial or industrial buildings, or for homes that require a more distinct, statement making feature. These bars provide a durable and striking appearance and can be used to enhance the look of both modern and classic buildings.
Georgians are often specified for various types of properties and projects. Here are a few examples of where Georgian windows might be used:
