Art Deco Crittall-Style Screens and Doors
Art Deco Crittall-style glazing uses geometric bar patterns such as stepped corners, quarter-circle fans, sunbursts and grouped horizontal lines, drawn from 1920s and 1930s design. It turns a screen into a decorative piece.
Suits: 1930s houses, mansion block flats, bars and restaurants
Getting the art deco look right
Deco patterns work best where there is a reason for them: a 1930s house, an Art Deco flat, or a room with Deco lighting and furniture. In a plain modern room, one Deco detail such as a fan in the top corners is often enough.
Patterns are drawn to your opening so they stay balanced at any size. Curved bars are bent to the template, so expect a modest premium over a straight grid.

Questions about this style
Is Art Deco too busy for a small room?
A full sunburst can be. A simpler Deco detail, such as stepped corners or a fan in the top panes, gives the period feel without crowding the space.
Do curved bars cost more?
Yes, a little. Expect around 15 percent on top of a straight grid of the same size.
