Crittall-Style Screens for Georgian Townhouses
In a Georgian townhouse, Crittall-style glazing is used carefully: Georgian-bar doors between rooms, glazed screens at basement and lower-ground level to borrow light, and staircase screens in tall, narrow halls.
Georgian houses are often listed or in conservation areas, so changes need care and sometimes consent. Internal screens in non-original walls, such as later partitions, are usually easier to approve than changes to original fabric.
Lower-ground floors benefit most. A glazed screen between the front and back rooms lets light from the garden reach the street-side room.
What to plan for
- Check listing before changing original walls
- Georgian bar proportions match sash windows
- Lower-ground floors gain the most light
- Tall halls suit full-height staircase screens
