I think the end glazing in my big bay window was once a Crittall opener that went rusty and was replaced by a pane of glass with lead stuck to it.
Upstairs I still have the Crittall openers fixed into the same frame design and they work brilliantly. I want some downstairs now. I'll add separate secondary glazing as I want to use leaded glass to the outside.
Crittall still exist but only for posh people now. Prices are out of my budget. eBay is pretty good, and I could modify windows to adjust the size, but openers on there are too small. My bay openers would be about 135 x 55cm. They are mild steel after 1900 ish so I could extend frames if I can get enough matching ones.
Anyone found a source of Crittall windows or have rusty ones that are planning to get rid of?
