Cottage windows have cleverly designed glazing bars, sometimes called astragal bars, fitted on the outside and inside of double-glazed windows. They give the appearance of smaller, individual panes of glass, to mimic the windows found on period cottages.

Your Questions Answered by us

What is a cottage bar on a window?

A cottage bar on a window is a glazing bar fitted to the outside and inside of a double-glazed windowpane. Modern cottage bars are used to make it look like a window is made up of several small panes of glass rather than one large pane.

How do cottage windows open?

When fitted to flush or casement windows, cottage windows open outwards, and are either side hung or top hung. In the case of sash cottage windows, they open by sliding vertically up or down.

Do windows look better with or without grids?

Whether windows look better with or without astragal bars arranged in grids comes down to personal choice or the kind of house you have. The grid design imitates windows found on period homes, often cottages.

What is the difference between Georgian bars and astragal bars?

Georgian bars are glazing bars fitted in between the two panes of glass in a double-glazed window that mimic a traditional Georgian sash window. Astragal bars are glazing bars fitted to the outside of a window pane. Often in a grid design, astragal bars make the window appear to be made from small individual panes of glass.

Can you add glazing bars to existing windows?

You can add glazing bars to existing windows, but only astragal bars that are fitted to the outside of the window. Other glazing bars, like Georgian bars, are normally fitted between double glazing during manufacture, so adding them afterwards would be difficult. We would recommend replacing the windows completely in that instance.
