Crittall-style internal screens

A Crittall-style internal screen is a fixed glazed partition made from slim black steel or steel-look aluminium bars. It takes the place of a solid wall, so two rooms keep their own purpose but share the daylight.

Why people choose internal screens

Most homes we survey have one room that is dark because a wall stands between it and the windows. A screen fixes that without going fully open-plan: sound and cooking smells stay where they are, the light does not. Screens can run floor to ceiling, sit on a low wall, or wrap around a corner.

Where it works

  • Between a kitchen-diner and a front living room in a terrace
  • Across the end of a long hallway to borrow light from the back of the house
  • Around a home office carved out of a larger room
  • Above a dado-height wall where you want to keep storage below

How much does it cost?

As a guide, internal screens cost £2,800 to £6,250 for a typical size, fitted and including VAT. Steel-look aluminium sits at the lower end and solid steel at the upper end. Size, bar pattern, glass and doors make the difference. Use the design and price tool for your own size, or read the full cost guide.

Questions about internal screens

Do I need a steel beam to put in an internal screen?

Only if the screen replaces a load-bearing wall. The screen itself carries no load, so a structural engineer sizes any beam first and the screen is fitted underneath it. Where the wall is non-structural, no beam is needed.

How long does an internal screen take to fit?

Most single-room screens are fitted in one day, sometimes two if there is a door or a long run. Making-good and decorating around the frame usually follows the next day.

Can a screen go in before the floor is laid?

Yes, but we prefer to measure and fit once the finished floor level is known, because the bottom rail is set to it. If the floor comes later, we leave the frame packed to the agreed level.
