Sash
Windows in Bath
The beautiful Georgian city of Bath, a world heritage
city and noted for its natural hot springs, offers a
unique experience for both residents and its many
visitors with stunning architecture, great shopping and
iconic attractions. It also has many grade II listed
buildings, which have to be preserved as part of our
English Heritage.
Grade II listed buildings are of special interest,
warranting every effort to preserve them. This is
especially pertinent to the original Georgian sash
windows.
Georgian
architecture wholeheartedly
embraced sash windows, improving the design from a
single moving sash, with
the top being fixed, to the more familiar system of two
moveable sashes. Oak timber was commonly used for
construction, with thick glazing bars used to hold the
small yet valuable crown glass panes, which were made by
blowing.
The 'bulls eye' formed at the
centre by this manufacturing technique was commonly used
at the rear of buildings. Then, as glass manufacturing
improved, larger panes started to appear and
the ‘classic’ Georgian design,
which consists of six over six panes, with narrow
glazing bars became the standard.
Today, in and around Bath almost all properties, which
had original Georgian sash windows fitted, continue to
display the original features albeit through periods of
maintenance, overhaul and repair.
