Crittall glazing is by no means a new trend. In fact, using metal framed glazing actually dates back to 1860 when Francis Henry Crittall, an ironmonger in Essex, first created steel framed windows. Yet despite the fact that this method of glazing has been around for over 160 years, it has never looked more contemporary.

With more companies investing more into their office space to make it as stylish and inviting as possible, popularity in this style of glazing has also grown. Its versatility can not be understated, both in commercial and residential settings. Combining crittall glazing with brass handles, wood floors and natural leather furnishings would result in a very classic and traditional space, yet combine the same crittall glazing with polished concrete floors, exposed ceilings and steel pendants and the space will be transformed into an industrial basement.
