For more than 100 years Crittall has put the wow factor into home improvement projects of all shapes and sizes and today, when the industrial look is the last word in chic, the demand for Crittall products remains as robust as ever.

Why? Because Crittall is a byword for a unique blend of form and function that brings light and elegance to any space, indoors or outdoors. In this blog we’ll look at how you can incorporate our windows into your extension project, transforming your living area and enhancing your property’s aesthetic appeal.

Why Choose Crittall Windows for Your Extension?

With their distinctive slim steel frames, our windows have been a hallmark of quality and style since 1849. Their timeless design complements both traditional homes and contemporary architect-designed properties, making them an ideal choice for extensions. By opting for our glazing, you can create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, maximise natural light and achieve a sophisticated industrial look that’s both on-trend and enduring.

1. Create a Stunning Glass Box Extension

One of the most striking ways to use Crittall windows in your extension is to design a glass box-style addition to your home, using our frames to create entire walls of glazing, allowing for panoramic views and flooding your new living space with daylight. A glass box extension can serve as a beautiful kitchen, dining area, or relaxing lounge, offering a modern look that blends seamlessly with your entire floor garden or terrace.

2. Install Crittall Patio Doors for total Indoor-Outdoor Living

Replace traditional French doors or bifolding options with our elegant  patio doors to create a stylish transition between your interior and exterior spaces. These doors can span the entire width of your extension, opening your living area to the garden and bringing the outside in. The slim profiles of our frames ensure that you’ll enjoy unobstructed views and plenty of natural light all year round.

3. Incorporate a Room Divider

For open-plan living spaces, consider using a bespoke internal screen as a room divider. This allows you to maintain an airy, open feel while creating distinct zones within your extension. A room divider can separate your kitchen from the dining area or living room, providing a sense of definition without compromising on light or space.

4. Add Character with Internal Doors

Extend the industrial aesthetic throughout your home by installing slimline steel internal doors between your extension and existing living spaces. These sleek, steel-framed doors (which can be made in a wide range of colour options including any BS colour or custom shade, as well as our iconic black) create a cohesive look and allow light to flow freely between rooms. They’re particularly effective in side extensions or when connecting a new kitchen to the rest of the ground floor.

5. Create a Stunning Orangery-Style Extension

Combine the elegance of a traditional orangery with the modern appeal of Crittall’s windows to create a unique extension. Use our frames to form large windows and doors around the perimeter of your new space, topped with a glass roof or lantern. This approach works beautifully for dining areas or relaxing lounges, offering a light-filled retreat that can be used for many purposes.

6. Embrace Industrial Chic with Exposed Brick and Crittall Glazing

For a bold, urban-inspired look, pair our bespoke windows and doors with exposed brick walls in your extension. This combination of raw materials and sleek glazing creates a striking contrast perfect for modern kitchens or living spaces. The black steel frames of our windows complement the texture of exposed brick, resulting in a sophisticated industrial aesthetic that is sure to impress.
