Georgian Designs

Traditionally Georgian effect windows were made of timber often associated with being hard to clean to due the small individual panes, and a nightmare to paint both inside and out. Through the sixties and seventies saw the mass build of houses many of which included whole estates with windows made of softwood in Georgian style, single glazed soon to become draughty and all the problems associated with maintenance.

With the introduction of more affordable double glazing come along the mock Georgian effect windows where the glazing spars are supported between the panes of glass, normally made of 18 or 25 mm white aluminium profiles.

Also available in browns and foiled finishes
