The Charm of Georgian Windows for Period Homes
- 7 March 2025
- News
Georgian style windows are a distinctive style of window that originated during the Georgian era in British architecture (roughly 1714 to the 1830s). Due to the limitations of glass-making technology at the time, it was impossible to produce large windows with single panes.
Instead, original Georgian style windows featured multiple individual panes of glass held together by glazing bars. This classic Georgian architecture remains a hallmark of traditional windows, emphasising symmetry and proportion in keeping with the architecture of the period.
Of course, while Georgian windows may look stunning, homeowners today prefer modern functionality without sacrificing their heritage appeal. Thankfully, modern Georgian-style windows retain this timeless aesthetic while boasting up-to-the-minute energy efficiency, and security features and benefits similar to uPVC windows.
If you’re looking to improve your property with the right windows, Crown offers a wide range of Georgian windows to suit any house, from detached homes to terraced properties. Read on to discover why Georgian windows are the perfect solution for your home.
