Georgian bars are decorative strips that transform an ordinary PVC window into an element of architectural style. They create the effect of a classic glazing bar pattern, divide the glass into segments, and give the building’s facade a special charm. Such windows are often chosen for cottages, country houses, and buildings with a historical style — but they can also look appropriate in modern projects.
The main advantage of Georgian bars is their versatility. They suit various architectural styles: thin light strips emphasise the elegance of Provence or country style, strict geometric patterns fit into neoclassical designs, and wide contrasting Georgian bars add expressiveness to a modern facade.
There are several main types based on installation method:
structural Georgian bars — integrated into the frame during production, they physically divide the window into parts and reinforce the structure (especially important for large windows);
intra‑pane Georgian bars — placed inside the double‑glazed unit, they require no maintenance and are protected from external influences;
surface‑mounted (false Georgian bars) — attached to the glass surface, they are easy to install even on existing windows and allow for a quick facade makeover.
Strip width varies from 8 to 70 mm: thin ones create a delicate pattern, while wide strips emphasise the geometry of the opening. Materials also vary: aluminium (durable and moisture‑resistant), plastic (lightweight and affordable), and even wood (for eco‑friendly solutions).
The colour of Georgian bars can be matched to the window profile or made contrasting — this way they become a striking accent. Solutions with two‑tone painting look especially impressive: on the outside — matching the facade, on the inside — coordinated with the interior.
Well‑chosen Georgian bars not only decorate the window but also visually adjust proportions: by dividing large glazing into sections, they make the structure look more harmonious and ‘lighter’. As a result, a simple PVC window gains individuality and fits into the overall architectural concept.
