Crittall-Style Windows and Screens for 1930s Homes
1930s semi-detached houses were often built with metal windows, so Crittall-style replacement windows, external doors and screens look especially at home in them.
Many 1930s houses still have their original metal windows, or uPVC replacements that lost the slim horizontal bars. Steel-look replacements bring that detail back with modern double glazing.
Inside, the classic 1930s layout of front room, back room and small kitchen is often opened up with a rear extension. A screen or French doors between the old back room and the new kitchen keeps the character of the house.
What to plan for
- Horizontal bar patterns match original windows
- Curved bays and corner windows can be matched
- Art Deco patterns suit the period
- Rear extensions pair well with external French doors

Can you match my curved bay window?
Yes, using faceted frames that follow the curve of the bay, drawn from a survey of the existing opening.
Is it worth replacing uPVC windows with steel-look ones?
If the uPVC is failing anyway, steel-look windows usually suit a 1930s house far better and can add kerb appeal.
