Cottage Windows

Cottage windows is a fairly broad term used to describe windows that suit traditional homes but that doesn’t mean they’re restricted to older properties. Also known as Georgian or Tudor windows. They often open in the same way as many other windows, either as casement (open outwards with hinges) or sash (have a vertically sliding pane), but what tends to make them different is a series of bars that make several small squares of glass rather than one big pane. Original installations of cottage windows would let draughts into the home and the wood could warp over time. Thanks to advances being made in the wood used to frame windows and other materials being available, you won’t have to worry about any of that nowadays.
