Sash windows have been the popular choice of window from the Georgian period right through to the late 's. Georgian sashes were more typically two moveable sashes divided each into six panes with narrow glazing bars.

The Victorian sash became more decorative with multi panes with leaded lights. In the Building Act changed the regulations, so that windows no longer had to be flush with the exterior wall. This enabled windows to stand proud from the facade. The Edwardian period took advantage of the change in building regulations and now presented their windows in bays.
Medium and larger houses would often display double bay or bow windows. Edwardian sash windows would often fix the upper multi pane but use a single pane of glass below to maximum the light into the room. Sash windows would often be painted in the Queen Anne style of white. Being contained within the box, the sashes are less susceptible to distortion and rot than a hinged casement adding greatly to their life span. English Heritage has released the findings of a study into the thermal performance of traditional sash windows using a 2 x 2 timber sliding sash window dating from the s which had been rescued from a skip.
The results showed that even the simplest repair and basic improvements will bring significant reduction of draughts and heat loss, and that using a combination of these methods will upgrade a window to meet Building Regulations targets.
Georgian Revival
The views to and from the front and rear of the main block were concentrated on, with the side approaches usually much less important. The roof was typically invisible from the ground, though domes were sometimes visible in grander buildings. The roofline was generally clear of ornament except for a balustrade or the top of a pediment. Inside ornament was far more generous, and could sometimes be overwhelming.
Smaller houses in the country, such as vicarages, were simple regular blocks with visible raked roofs, and a central doorway, often the only ornamented area. Similar houses, often referred to as "villas" became common around the fringes of the larger cities, especially London, [23] and detached houses in towns remained common, though only the very rich could afford them in central London. In towns even most better-off people lived in terraced houses, which typically opened straight onto the street, often with a few steps up to the door.
There was often an open space, protected by iron railings, dropping down to the basement level, with a discreet entrance down steps off the street for servants and deliveries; this is known as the "area". Where, as often, a new street or set of streets was developed, the road and pavements were raised up, and the gardens or yards behind the houses at a lower level, usually representing the original one. Town terraced houses for all social classes remained resolutely tall and narrow, each dwelling occupying the whole height of the building.
This contrasted with well-off continental dwellings, which had already begun to be formed of wide apartments occupying only one or two floors of a building; such arrangements were only typical in England when housing groups of batchelors, as in Oxbridge colleges, the lawyers in the Inns of Court or The Albany after it was converted in A curving crescent , often looking out at gardens or a park, was popular for terraces where space allowed.
In early and central schemes of development, plots were sold and built on individually, though there was often an attempt to enforce some uniformity, [27] but as development reached further out schemes were increasingly built as a uniform scheme and then sold. The late Georgian period saw the birth of the semi-detached house, planned systematically, as a suburban compromise between the terraced houses of the city and the detached "villas" further out, where land was cheaper.
There had been occasional examples in town centres going back to medieval times.
Most early suburban examples are large, and in what are now the outer fringes of Central London, but were then in areas being built up for the first time. Blackheath , Chalk Farm and St John's Wood are among the areas contesting being the original home of the semi. A plan for this exists dated , where "the whole development consists of pairs of semi-detached houses , So far as I know, this is the first recorded scheme of the kind". In fact the French Wars put an end to this scheme, but when the development was finally built it retained the semi-detached form, "a revolution of striking significance and far-reaching effect".
History of the Sash Window | English | UK | United Kingdom
Until the Church Building Act of , the period saw relatively few churches built in Britain, which was already well-supplied, [31] although in the later years of the period the demand for Non-conformist and Roman Catholic places of worship greatly increased. Galleries were common in new churches. Especially in country parishes, the external appearance generally retained the familiar signifiers of a Gothic church, with a tower or spire, a large west front with one or more doors, and very large windows along the nave, but all with any ornament drawn from the classical vocabulary.
Where funds permitted, a classical temple portico with columns and a pediment might be used at the west front. Decoration inside was very limited, but churches filled up with monuments to the prosperous. In the colonies new churches were certainly required, and generally repeated similar formulae.

British Non-conformist churches were often more classical in mood, and tended not to feel the need for a tower or steeple. This formula shocked purists and foreigners, but became accepted and was very widely copied, at home and in the colonies, [34] for example at St Andrew's Church, Chennai in India. The Act allocated some public money for new churches required to reflect changes in population, and a commission to allocate it.

Building of Commissioners' churches gathered pace in the s, and continued until the s. The early churches, falling into the Georgian period, show a high proportion of Gothic Revival buildings, along with the classically inspired. Public buildings generally varied between the extremes of plain boxes with grid windows and Italian Late Renaissance palaces, depending on budget. Somerset House in London, designed by Sir William Chambers in for government offices, was as magnificent as any country house, though never quite finished, as funds ran out.
But as the period came to an end many commercial projects were becoming sufficiently large, and well-funded, to become "architectural in intention", rather than having their design left to the lesser class of "surveyors". Georgian architecture was widely disseminated in the English colonies during the Georgian era.
American buildings of the Georgian period were very often constructed of wood with clapboards; even columns were made of timber, framed up, and turned on an oversized lathe.
