Georgian Bar Glass
Georgian Bar Glass
Georgian bar glass adds timeless character through its distinctive grid patterns, inspired by traditional window design. It’s an elegant way to introduce heritage style to both period properties and modern homes.
At Barnsley Glass & Glazing, we supply and manufacture a range of Georgian bar options, allowing you to achieve an authentic appearance while still benefiting from modern double-glazing performance.
A Timeless Choice for Your Windows
Georgian bars have long been used to enhance the look of windows, adding depth, structure, and traditional charm. Whether you’re restoring a period property or adding classic detailing to a new build, Georgian bars can transform the appearance of your glazing.
We offer three types of Georgian bars — Internal, Authentic, and Grill — each designed to suit different aesthetic preferences, performance needs, and property types.
Internal Georgian Bars
Internal Georgian bars are one of the most popular options for achieving a traditional look with the convenience of modern double glazing. These bars are fitted inside the sealed unit, creating the appearance of multiple panes while keeping the glass smooth and easy to clean.
This option retains the energy efficiency and low-maintenance benefits of double glazing, making it ideal for homeowners who want classic styling without the upkeep of individual panes.
Internal Georgian bars can be customised in a wide range of layouts, from simple grids to more detailed designs. Manufactured to order, they offer excellent flexibility to suit your property.
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
Authentic Georgian bars are designed to replicate the look of true multi-pane windows. This system combines internal spacer bars with externally applied stick-on profiles, giving the illusion of separate panes within a single sealed unit.
This option is often specified where authenticity is essential, such as period homes or conservation areas, where maintaining the original character of the property is a priority.
We can colour-match spacer bars and external profiles to ensure a seamless, consistent finish across the entire window unit.
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 Grill Bars
Georgian grill bars, sometimes referred to as Victorian grills, offer a stronger, more defined appearance. These bars are manufactured using tubular construction and are typically available in 6mm (gold) or 8mm (chrome) finishes.
While design flexibility is more limited compared to other options, grill bars create a bold, statement look and are particularly well suited to commercial buildings, industrial settings, or properties requiring a more robust visual feature.
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.
