FAQs
What is a Georgian door?
A classic Georgian front door is based upon an elegant design of six panels. Typically, these would all be made of solid wood, although towards the end of the period we also see glass inserted into the two upper panels.
What is the difference between Victorian and Georgian doors?
While Georgian doors typically feature six panels, Victorian doors typically feature four. Victorian door designs are usually simpler and more understated than Georgian front doors. Victorian brickwork typically has a richer colour than Georgian brickwork and so Victorian front doors often suit deeper colours, as well as being well suited to classic colours such as black and red.
What are the characteristics of a Georgian door?
Georgian doors typically feature as part of a flat frontage. The doors themselves are elegant and simple, with six sections to their design. They also often have a simple semi-circular fanlight or ‘top light’ above the door for some additional light.
What colour were Georgian front doors?
Authentic doors were usually painted in neutral colours, typically either black or white. Today Georgian style doors look incredible in a range of colours from muted pastel shades to eye-catching primary colours. A high-quality finish will protect the door and help it to retain its appeal for years to come.
How do I identify a Georgian house?
The Georgian period covers the period between 1714 and the 1830s. Georgian architecture is known for its understated elegance, uniform proportions and symmetry. It is a classic era for architecture in Britain that is often replicated in high-end new build properties. Georgian properties are often built with brick and stone, sash windows, and later with stucco.
