What are your thoughts on Crittall-style windows?
Comments (83)Hi @Jerry Evans thanks for the thoughtful reply - all right on target. We bought the house with the newly installed windows, so the contract was with the previous owners - not us. Would be nice if Crittall would honour their guarantee or even offer any help but they've yet to do the decent thing. They will not toss their installer under the bus for mis-selling them, nor will they obviously go on record saying they're not suitable for a marine/coastal environment. We're happy to be their test lab!. With respect to condensation the thermal break question is a good one - thanks. If there is one it's not visible and seems woefully ineffective. We have trickle ventilation for the house as a whole but it doesn't reach the windows unfortunately. We do have all the usual extractors and we're starting to look at further air circulation/ventilation solutions. Cheers Bill...See MoreWould you rather have: Crittall windows or sash windows?
Comments (44)I love both but it depends on the property and the overall style of the house. I am about to embark on a renovation project of a 1970s house and I’m looking to completely transform the exterior with render and change the windows to sashes, I don’t know where to start so any advice by sash window experts is welcome!...See Morewindow dressing over crittall style windows?
Comments (3)If you have wall lights on the pillars then you wouldn't be able to have one long pole, but I think that would look best and the most minimalist solution vs 3 separate poles. You can also get blinds fitted to the recesses of the door which can look really good as they're not noticeable when closed...See MoreCrittall/Crittall style doors
