Economical way of creating Crittal-style doors
Comments (39)Hi Alan, we used the same doors from for our little study. After the decorator had painted them & we removed the protective film from the glass we saw that the paint had bled into the inner frame. Unfortunately there is no way to remove the glass to paint the inner frame so that section will always remain untreated & ours looks worse because of the paint bleeding. Such a shame because from afar the doors look great....just don’t inspect them too closely! When we queried it with the decorator he said the film was there to protect painting errors whereas the big shed said it was there solely to protect the glass & that the decorator had used too much paint on the brush. Argh.......See MoreCrittall/Crittall style doors

Comments (8)This is similar to another post on here, where they are nearing the end of the build and are now starting to think about furniture placement. You have to do the furniture from the off set, otherwise you run the risk of not being able to lay out a room well. Your husband may not want to indent the room too much visually but i'm sure you will want a T.V in the lounge area, so you need to work out where you will put the sofa and T.V before you build. Hopefully the 2.2 metres is the internal space not the external, is there a reason why it's so narrow? It's going to be difficult to put the furniture in there regardless due to the size restriction. I've just measured our dining table, and when you pull the chairs out either side in order to sit down from chair to chair it measures 2.1 metres, so you can see just how tight the space will be. As you see from the renders above I had to move the furniture backwards in to the existing room in order to fit it in............so it's really important to think about it carefully. This is an average sofa and table fitted in to the extension space without going backwards in to the existing room................as you see, it barely fits....See MoreThoughts on Crittall style?
Comments (1)They have been growing in popularity over the past few years. Personally, I love them but they don't necessarily suit every property. As for whether it is here to stay...they were first manufactured in 1889 and are still around!!!! Top tip: choose what suits your property NOT what is on trend. So many people follow trends that just simply do not suit and it ends up looking awful. Claire Léa+Box Interiors...See More
