Muntins for kitchen door

[Windows]

This is a bit of a placeholder for a project that may or may not get done in the next few years.

Our kitchen is a modern extension on an Edwardian house. The kitchen has a double door to the outside, made of wood with a large double-glazed area with small individual glazing units and stuck-on glazing bars. The units and bars are presumably intended to be harmonious with the muntins of the older windows which are 2 x 3 and 2 x 4 multiple pane casements. Unfortunately, it fails.

The door has 2 x 4 panes, but in an area much taller than the 2 x 4 windows so each pane in the door is too tall and skinny. The bars are also very thin and plain. The project would be to create thicker, moulded bars for the door to match the windows and alter the proportion of the panes. The door is painted so no concern over covering joins.

First step will be to take some photos and measurements.

There is also a window in the kitchen of the same style - plain, skinny, stuck-on bars on the outside - although the proportion of the panes is better. Both window and door have nicely moulded interior bars. The interior bars, like the exterior ones, are skinny compared to the old windows’ muntins, but from inside the room, it’s not jarring as there is no old window visible. The window is not that much of a bother externally because it’s on the side of the house that doesn’t form a view from anywhere.

Check that the glass isn’t scratched around the glazing bars before you go ahead and reposition them.
I thought about going this once until I realised the painters had left there mark.
