Whilst Astragal bars add character and charm to the window and recreate the original look, using them as handles can put considerable pressure on them, causing them to come off in your hand whilst the window remains shut.
Typically, bars are stuck onto the glass as a series of small individual bar sections mitred together. This increases the opportunity for shoddy joints and for the number of bars that could fail. Virtually every window company specifically excludes plant-on Georgian bars from their guarantees for this reason.
Our windows are unique.
Clever, patented inter-locking joints where the bars meet, together with Georgi® clips (patented to our company), mean that each bar is continuous and cut to the full size of the sash. Each bar is secretly notched so they are inter-locked, clamped and then bonded against the glass surface. We are so confident with this technology that you can open and close any of our sashes using the bars. They won’t come off, which is why they are covered by our generous guarantees.
