haythorn_1 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Does anyone have and windows with glazing bar inserts like this (ideally with triple glaze): How do they look? Can you tell it’s a single pane of glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I had them in double glazing and virtually impossible to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Rationel 3G window with centre bar The only way you can tell it is one pane, is in the corners, the filler bars bend round the corner. The centre bar just butts up to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Ok, so I'm completely ignoring the OP question here to ask another question. Why have a centre bar if its not required to open the window? A planning restriction? The window above does not need to have a centre bar, so why not have a single pane across the whole window with less visual obstruction? I ask because on the first floor of our build we have non-opening windows with a centre bar and my darling wife is complaining that they obstruct the view (of her church, which is a big thing here in Northern Ireland 🙄) Edited April 22 by Mr Blobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local planning restriction "windows should have a vertical form" Most of our windows were 2 panes side by side, but this one smaller window we thought it a good idea to split it with the centre bar to make it in keeping with the others. No technical reason whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I've got it because replacement windows had to look like Crittall. Planning requirement, rightly required as it is aesthetically correct. Nobody notices that they are dummies. There aren't any on the inside though, which reduces fiddly cleaning. I was nervous that they might fall off as they are fixed with dsst. After about 8 years there have been no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
