Economical way of creating Crittal-style doors

In our Edwardian renovation/extension, we are planning to have double doors leading from the hallway into the open-plan dining kitchen. We really like the Crittal style of metal doors/windows but the cost is prohibitive for us. We have seen the doors in the attached pic, which look like a standard timber door, with a metal window frames - but not entirely sure how to go about creating the look. Can anyone help please? Thnx.

    I wondered if Jeld-wen might have something, they are usually very affordable, but they only appear to have fully glazed doors - http://www.jeld-wen.co.uk/products/interior-doors/products/interior-doors/?productId=6640 Sorry not to be able to find something closer.

    Have a look at The Heritage Window Company. They replaced some of our crittal windows with aluminium, but they are a very close match and look lovely. I am sure they could do something for you.

    If its internal doors could you not just buy wooden doors with glass panels in from like b&q and paint black? That's what I'm thinking of doing

    Same issue with myself. I found SkyGlaze to be prohibitive as well. Anything simple around the 3K mark for an internal space; w4 x h3.5 meters

    Do not trust William/Will McLoughlin of MacMade whatever you do! He has been stringing us along for weeks and weeks and still no doors and no refund of our £900 deposit. Ignores calls, emails etc. He appears to be conning people left right and centre. I am the third person to have just written a review to the same effect. Although he tried to tell me the first one was fake. He also threatened to leave my own business a bad review if I did him, which he has had absolutely nothing to do with! So disappointing and upsetting. A deep shame as his work did indeed look great. Highly unprofessional and dishonest and should not be trusted! Horrendous people like this can keep getting away with it.

    Peter, I was going to explain how to send an email/PM but the facility seems to have disappeared on my iPad so perhaps that’s why you can’t see how to do it. Not sure what’s going on here.

  • Peter Howe

    Yes I can’t see it either. I’m tech savvy so I think maybe they have removed it!

    I am having real difficulty sourcing an alternative to traditional crittall.
    I'm hoping to create the classic crittal look with a dividing wall between my kitchen area and livingroom but at a fraction of the cost of the metal framed real thing.
    I was thinking perhaps wooden framed painted dark may create the same effect but again I'm having trouble sourcing this.... while keeping within our tight budget.

    PLEASE HELP.

    A good carpenter. Dependent on size it could cost anything in the region of 3-6K

    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....

    @LTS I had the exact same issue... I solved it by piping the thinnest line possible of black silicone around each pane. Looks so much better than seeing the pine rebate or bleeding paint!

    I’ve bought two pairs of genuine crittall doors in the past. On eBay. Both sets below £100. Remove the glass. Take them to a car body shop. Get them stripped and painted. Then reglazed.

    I know this is an old post but anyone find a company who do budget but beautiful crittalkl style doors and windows?? We are based in Shepperton, Surrey. Ive requested a quote from Skyglaze so anyone else would be helpful. Yes Glazing too expensive and leadtime too long.

    We have had these finished black wooden doors..... they are fabulous and have given the crittal look for much less money.
