nice. a door like that will cost a fortune to be made now.
are they back to galvanised? was thinking of stripping ours and priming them (zinc plumbate) and then seeing how we liked them grey and then painting grey or white after living with them for a while.
Secondary glazing will maybe be dove grey as the stock white is very white and will stand out next to the terrazzo sill and grey (if we go for that) crittall frames.this is potentially all a bit moot as a shitty email is being sent tomorrow “pull your fucking finger out, complete within a week or it’s all off” :-/

that’s interesting. i did contact a firm which specialised in crittall, from memory their glazing was about 12mm (4mm/4argon/4mm) but they said the windows couldn’t be done as they were the wrong type.
They are not the gridded 6 or 8 pane type but large centre tilt 1.25m Sq and side/top openings lights.
The centre tilting means the big panes would be easy to do as they will be horizontal and half in the flat but the weight would be considerable.
Think the frames are not deep enough but i find that odd as they look deeper than the 6x panes in the house I grew up in with Crittall.
Nobody else in the 7 other blocks has done a straight glazing replacement, if a firm (without scaffolding and not 20k) did there would be a lot of people interested, at least with secondary we can remove it without much hassle if/when somebody can do double glazed units.
