Georgian Bars & Glazing Grids Explained

Georgian bars give that classic divided-pane look. Here's how they work on modern uPVC windows.

What they are

Georgian bars are grids that give the appearance of a window divided into smaller panes — the traditional look — on a modern single sealed unit. They can sit within the glazing or on the glass surface.

Why they're used

Purely for style — they bring a period, cottage, or traditional character to a window. Within-glazing bars keep the look while leaving the glass easy to clean.

Choosing

They suit traditional and heritage-style homes wanting the divided-light look without losing modern glazing performance. Contemporary homes usually leave them off for clean, uninterrupted glass.
