Crittall-Style Screens and Doors for Barn Conversions
In barn conversions, Crittall-style glazing is used to fill large openings such as threshing bays, to divide double-height spaces and to add tall pivot doors that suit the scale of the building.
Barns have big openings and tall spaces that standard doors and windows look lost in. Large gridded screens fit the agricultural character and are often favoured by planners over domestic-looking windows.
Timber frames move with the seasons, so we allow for movement in the fixings and seals.
What to plan for
- Threshing bay openings suit large glazed screens
- Allow for timber frame movement
- Planning conditions often control glazing design
- Tall spaces suit pivot doors
