Crittall-Style Screens for New Build Homes
In a new build, Crittall-style screens and doors add character to plain open-plan spaces, most often between the kitchen and living area or as a home office in the corner of a room.
New build homes are bright but can feel bland. A black-framed screen is one of the few changes that alters the feel of the whole ground floor without structural work.
Walls in new builds are usually plasterboard on studs, which makes fixing straightforward. Floors are flat and square, so installation is quick.
What to plan for
- Usually no structural work needed
- Plasterboard walls make fixing simple
- Ideal for zoning open-plan ground floors
- Check any developer warranty terms first

Will a screen affect my new-home warranty?
Non-structural internal screens rarely do, but check the terms of your warranty provider before work starts.
Can you fit before I move in?
Yes, once the floors are finished. A screen is usually fitted in a day.
