Improved thermal performance
Steel doors from Crittall Windows are engineered to a high standard for optimal performance, featuring double glazing or triple glazing insulated glass units and thermally broken steel profiles.

The cost of Crittall doors may be a little higher than alternative aluminium doors but the superior thermal performance of our doors will lead to a reduction in both your energy bills and the amount of carbon emissions produced by your home.
Traditional roots, future focus
Steel’s exceptional strength, which exceeds both aluminium and wood alternatives, allows for larger glass panes with impressively slime frames. This means wider, clearer views. Beyond strength, Crittall steel doors are renowned for their durability. Examples from the early 20th century (1920s and 1930s) have lasted in excess of 60 years, effortlessly outperforming other door materials. Modern manufacturing ensures minimal maintenance, making steel doors a practical choice for busy homeowners. And for those who value sustainability, steel is 100% recyclable, contributing to a healthier planet.
The cost of Crittall doors
Ultimately, the cost of heritage doors can vary depending on the materials used, design, size and configuration. Custom designs and larger installations, may come with a higher price tag but, unlike mass-produced alternatives or cheaper imitations, authentic steel doors are hand-crafted and boast a unique set of features and benefits.
While the initial investment may be higher than aluminium or uPVC external or internal doors, the long-term value is incredibly impressive. This is because these doors often last generations, enhance property value, reduce energy costs and require minimal maintenance over a lifetime.
