Authentic Georgian Window Design
Georgian architecture is characterised by symmetry, uniform proportions and understated elegance, and its windows are an important part of this distinctive style.
Georgian sash windows were particularly common during the period and typically featured:
- Symmetrical proportions
- The classic ‘six-over-six’ sash configuration
- Multiple small panes divided by solid timber glazing bars
- Slim glazing bars, meeting bars and window frames
- Elegant, understated detailing
Later Georgian architecture became more varied, with Gothic Revival influences introducing more decorative designs, including arched sash and casement windows, delicate arched glazing bars and leaded lights.
Today many Georgian properties are listed or located within conservation areas, where preserving the architectural character of the building is particularly important.
Our Georgian windows have been approved for listed and conservation properties by planning authorities throughout London and the South East.
We can manufacture exact-match timber windows, including designs with individual panes of glass and solid timber glazing bars, helping to achieve an authentic appearance where required.
FAQs About Georgian Windows
What is a Georgian window?
Georgian windows are a key feature of Georgian architecture, which spans the period from 1714 to 1837, covering the reign of George I through to George IV. They are typically characterised by symmetry, elegant proportions, high ceilings and understated detailing. Sash windows are the most common type of Georgian window, although casement windows were also used, particularly during the later Georgian period.
Georgian windows were traditionally made from timber, including Oak and redwoods such as Douglas Fir and Pitch Pine.
What do Georgian windows look like?
Traditional Georgian windows are characterised by symmetrical proportions and multiple small panes of glass separated by timber glazing bars. The classic Georgian sash window is the six-over-six design, with six panes in each sash. This is because it wasn’t possible to manufacture large panes of glass in the Georgian era so windows were typically made of several smaller panes.
Glazing bars and frames were typically slimmer than those used during the later Victorian period, reflecting the understated elegance of Georgian architecture.
What is the difference between Georgian and Victorian windows?
The main difference is the size and arrangement of the glazing. Georgian windows typically feature multiple small panes arranged in a symmetrical grid, with the classic sash design being six panes over six panes.
Victorian windows generally have larger panes of glass with fewer glazing bars, reflecting advances in glass manufacturing during the Victorian era. Victorian sash windows also more often feature decorative horns.
Can you add bars to Georgian windows?
Yes. Glazing bars are a defining feature of Georgian windows, and there are several ways to replicate their traditional appearance.
Some modern windows use applied bars fixed to the surface of a larger pane of glass to create the appearance of multiple smaller panes.
However, Timbawood can also manufacture replica Georgian sash windows and casement windows using individual units of single or slimline double glazing, joined by solid timber glazing bars, as they would have originally been made.
This authentic approach can be particularly important for listed and conservation properties where preserving the original appearance is a priority.
Can Georgian windows be double glazed?
Yes. Our Georgian windows can be fitted with slimline double glazing designed to replicate the appearance of traditional single glazing, or ultra slim vacuum glazing, which is our slimmest, most thermally efficient double glazing option. We also offer individually glazed single and slimline double-glazed units with restoration glass on the outer pane, to provide the variable reflection associated with original heritage glass.
