Period Home Window Types and Styles.
Period homes are known for their distinct architectural styles and unique features, including their windows. Here are some common types of windows found in period homes: |
|
Sash Windows: Sash windows are a classic feature of period homes, particularly those from the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras. They consist of one or more movable panels, called sashes, that slide vertically within the window frame. Sash windows are known for their elegant design, divided panes of glass, and decorative sash cords and weights. They can be single-hung or double-hung, allowing for various ventilation options.
|
|
Bay and Bow Windows: Bay and bow windows are prominent architectural features in period homes. Bay windows typically consist of three or more windows arranged in a polygonal shape that projects outward from the building's facade. Bow windows are similar but have a gentle curve instead of angles. These windows create additional interior space, provide panoramic views, and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the home.
|
|
Casement Windows: Casement windows were popular during the Tudor and Jacobean periods and continue to be used in later period homes. They are hinged on one side and open outward, often with decorative ironmongery or leaded glass panels. Casement windows offer excellent ventilation and are suitable for both traditional and contemporary period home styles.
|
|
Gothic Arched Windows: Gothic arched windows are characteristic of Gothic Revival and Victorian-era architecture. They feature pointed arches at the top, adding a sense of grandeur and architectural drama to the home. These windows are often found in churches, Victorian villas, and Gothic-style mansions.
|
|
|
Leaded Glass Windows: Leaded glass windows were popular during the Arts and Crafts movement and can be found in many period homes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They consist of small individual panes of glass held together by lead strips, creating intricate patterns and designs. Leaded glass windows add charm, character, and a touch of craftsmanship to period homes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fanlight Windows: Fanlight windows are semi-circular or fan-shaped windows located above doors or larger windows. They were commonly used in Georgian and Regency-era homes and often featured decorative glazing patterns or intricate ironwork. Fanlight windows allow natural light to enter while adding a decorative element to the home's entrance.
|
Transom Windows: Transom windows are horizontal windows located above doors or other windows. They were popular in Victorian and Edwardian homes and often featured decorative stained glass or leaded designs. Transom windows provide additional light, ventilation, and architectural interest to period homes.
