THE LATEST GENERATION of flush sash and heritage-style windows has taken the market by storm . Traditional looking windows with Georgian bars combine beautiful sightlines with the benefits of warm edge , ideal for enhancing period properties and adding character to new builds . Most systems companies now offer a choice of flush sashes and vertical sliders , and they ’ re selling fast .
Homeowners love the look of heritage-style windows but expect high performance too . Along with security and weather performance , energy efficiency is a top priority . A variety of surveys over the past 10 years show homeowners are concerned with rising energy prices . Homeowners may want beautifully designed windows , but they want windows that keep their properties warm and help to reduce heating bills .

In traditional timber windows , each square section was an individual glass pane . Today ’ s vertical sliders and flush sash windows use a spacer bar inside the sealed unit to create the look of separate panes , with an outer astragal bar replicating the original design . Many window companies still use a warm edge frame with a metal Georgian bar , but that spoils the look of the window and the thermal performance .
SWISSPACER ’ s Georgian bar is a modern solution to traditional design for authentic , high performance flush sash and vertical slider windows . It gives a seamless transition from the outer warm edge spacer bar to inner Georgian bar for outstanding energy performance and a high-end look . In response to growing demand , SWISSPACER recently launched new 12x18mm and 16x18mm bars
