We’re sometimes asked how to differentiate between these window options.
Georgian bars
These fit inside the sealed double glazing unit between the two panes of glass. The glass surfaces remain smooth and easy to clean.

Astragal bars
These are fitted externally over a glazing unit that contains a matching set of internal (Georgian) bars. In this way, the glazed unit appears to be separated into sections. This gives a more authentic reproduction of the muntin bars that hold glazing sections in place on multi-paned period windows. Due to the extra materials and work that is required, windows featuring astragal bars are priced higher than those featuring only Georgian bars.
