Georgian bars are a type of window moulding that originated in 18th-century Britain during the Georgian era. They were designed to divide large glass panes into smaller sections, creating the appearance of multi-pane windows. Modern Georgian bars are typically made from PVCu or aluminium and are fitted between two panes of glass in a
sealed unit.
Developed to mimic traditional muntins in divided-light windows, Georgian bars drew inspiration from Roman and Grecian classical styles. They enabled larger windows, which were challenging and expensive to create at the time. Popular during the Georgian and Victorian eras, Georgian bars remain a favoured choice for homeowners seeking to add elegance to their windows. They symbolize sophistication and reflect the craftsmanship of their era, often being used in historic buildings to restore their original style.
