WHAT IS AN ASTRAGAL BAR?
Astragal bars are fixed on the windows glazing internally and externally. They separate panes of glass, giving the effect of traditional period features. In other words, astragal bars are applied to one single piece of glazing, but give the effect of multiple panes of glass to enhance the look of the window by giving it this classic appearance.
