Georgian Bar Windows From Everest
The Georgian era runs from 1714 to 1820, spanning the reigns of four successive King Georges. It's a classical architectural style very reminiscent of London and many spa towns such as Leamington Spa, Bath and Harrogate. The styling was inspired by classic principles of proportion, balance and symmetry taken from Greek and Roman architecture and are often large detached dwellings, villas and period townhouses. Georgian buildings usually have a listed building or conservation area status.
One of the most desirable features of the Georgian property is the large window that floods the room with light. The Georgian property has large rooms and high ceilings with impressively large windows in downstairs rooms. Looking at the facade of a Georgian building you can see the difference in the large downstairs compared to the upper floors that have lower ceiling heights and smaller windows.
Original Georgian windows are double-hung sash windows featuring nine or twelve panes of glass and the upper floors have six panes. This popular style can be replicated by applying bars on a single pane of glass: known as Georgian Bars.
When replacing the windows in Georgian properties we recommend sash windows or casement windows with traditional Georgian bars in white. For period properties, we recommend wooden windows, or a wood-grain effect uPVC window can replicate the Georgian style where there are no building restrictions.
