Astragal Georgian Bars

A:  Traditionally, double-glazing companies have found the cheapest and easiest way to put Georgian bars on to windows. This is evident with most companies putting Georgian "canes" inside the two sheets of glass. They rarely look real and act as an immediate give away.

Cheap to produce, but extremely dull and a very poor imitation of the real thing.

The brilliant white bars never get rained on so at first they "may" look similar to the rest of your new windows, but in time they will shout out "DOUBLE GLAZING" as they stay brilliant white against the weathered feel of the rest of the window.

That’s one way that cheap double-glazing can devalue your property! With our windows you have a choice.

Internal bars, if cost is the only factor, however these do not look realistic.

Or surface mounted, "real-feel", bonded astragal bars which add a third dimension to your windows, protruding from the surface of the glass the way the muntin bars did on the originals... creating depth, character and shadow lines.

Remember the equalisation of layout as mentioned in the "sash" description earlier.
