Making Crittall doors in wood

[peter-harrison]

good suggestions, thanks! I'll suggest the single pane idea and see what they say.

"You'll need to keep the perimeter of the door blank as wide as possible to avoid it warping"

I mean no disrespect but what you'll end up with here is a simple glass door. This is miles away from a crittal type door as per the op (correct me if I misunderstand ).

How are these doors going to be used? If they are going to be just a decorative room divider, do they even need to be glazed? If they don't, something very lightweight like a Japanese screen might do, or something using similar delicate construction. Plenty of pictures and videos if you Google "shoji."

Other way round, surely? A wide frame and small glass?

To meet regs the single pane would need to 6mm, as the lower part at least has to be. Bleedin' 'eavy.

Any mileage in glazing with polycarbonate?
