Georgian Windows

What are Georgian Windows?

Georgian Windows are a classic feature from the 18th century, instantly recognisable for their large frames divided into smaller, uniformly sized panes. Characterised by six or more smaller panes of glass, these windows are connected by slender horizontal or vertical wooden bars. The Georgian window style not only showcases a greater area of glass but also maximises natural light in rooms. Originating from the 1700s, Georgian windows perfectly mirrored the architectural trends of their time. The architects of the era valued symmetry, proportion, and elegance, notably in the placement of windows and doors. Georgian buildings, known for their rectangular forms, integrated these windows to mirror the structural balance. The iconic sliding sash design, particularly the six-panel layout, became a defining element of Georgian style, combining functional elegance with Georgian architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Georgian bars in windows are stylish features that replicate traditional Georgian window designs. They create a grid-like pattern on the glass, dividing it into smaller, equal panes, which mirrors the six-over-six pane style typical of the 18th century.

These bars enhance the aesthetic appeal of windows by adding a touch of historical elegance. While they maintain a traditional look, at Windows & Doors UK we incorporate them into new windows, combining the charm of the past with the functionality of the present.

Georgian and Victorian windows differ significantly in style and design, reflecting their respective historical periods. Georgian windows are known for their symmetry and simplicity, typically featuring a six-over-six pane arrangement within a square or rectangular frame. They emphasise balance and proportion, reflecting the architectural ideals of the Georgian era.

Victorian windows, meanwhile, are more ornate and elaborate, often featuring intricate designs and a greater variety of pane arrangements. They can include stained glass, decorative moldings, and more complex sash designs, showcasing the decorative flair of the Victorian age.

Georgian bar windows can be more costly than standard windows due to their intricate design and the additional materials required. The bars themselves, whether true divided lights or simulated, add to the complexity of the window construction.

The process of accurately replicating the historical design, ensuring each pane is perfectly aligned and the bars are proportionately placed, requires skilled craftsmanship. However, the extra cost is often justified by the added aesthetic value and the way these windows enhance the character and curb appeal of a property.

The way to tell a apart Victorian and Georgian houses is to look at the architectural details. Georgian houses are characterised by their symmetry, proportion, and use of classical elements like columns and pediments. They often feature flat fronts and sliding sash windows with a six x six pane arrangement.

Victorian houses, on the other hand, display more ornate and eclectic styles, with asymmetrical facades, decorative trim, and complex rooflines. Their windows can vary significantly, and are often more elaborate than their Georgian counterparts, with features like stained glass and intricate woodwork to enhance their timber sash windows.

Georgian windows are timeless rather than old-fashioned. While they draw on the classic aesthetic of the Georgian era, modern Georgian windows from Windows & Doors UK are equipped with features like energy-efficient window glazing and durable frames.

This combination of old-world charm and new-world technology makes Georgian windows a popular choice for both period restorations and modern homes, as their enduring appeal lies in their ability to complement a wide range of architectural styles.

Victorian windows were primarily crafted from wood – the go-to material of the era. The glass? Often it was hand-blown, giving each window its own unique charm. In wealthier homes, you’d find stained or leaded glass, adding a layer of opulence and intricate detailing. These materials weren’t just chosen for their looks; they reflected the craftsmanship and quality of the time.

Three key features of the Georgian style, exemplified in Windows & Doors UK’s window designs, include a strong emphasis on symmetry, a preference for proportion and balance, and the use of classical elements such as pediments, columns, and decorative moldings, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman architecture.
