What is the cost of Crittall windows?

When budgets are tight and there is still much nervousness at the state of the UK economy, householders are naturally cautious when it comes to spending hard-earned money on major home renovation projects.

Leading brands such as Crittall are particularly aware of how cost can impact on consumer decision-making, influenced by different factors. As the best-known name in the steel window industry, we know our products are at the higher end of the price spectrum. We also know that many companies claim to produce ‘Crittall-style’ windows that are far less expensive than ours – and of far inferior quality.

Genuine Crittall windows are an investment that bring many benefits, not least that of increasing property values. So what are the factors which lead us to price our windows as we do? In this blog we’ll explore some of these and explain why the benefits of steel outweigh the alternatives:

Bespoke manufacturing

Every window we manufacture is custom-made to our client’s unique specifications, enabling them to get exactly what they want, how they want it. The manufacturing process involves skilled artisans and specialised techniques, all of which naturally increases costs compared to mass-produced alternatives.

High quality materials

All our windows are made in Britain and are manufactured from high grade, recycled steel. Our steel frame windows are built to last for many decades, which is why they have garnered such a good reputation since we first made them in the 19^th century. Steel is, of course, stronger and more expensive than alternatives such as aluminium and uPVC which again, is reflected in the price.

Technology and innovation

Here at Crittall, we harness modern technologies for improved thermal performance and security, and we constantly innovate to meet and exceed current and evolving building standards. We also take into consideration changing customer tastes, all of which requires investment.

Heritage and Brand Value

Crittall has a long and continuous history of premium product manufacture. Our windows and doors can be found in many significant late 19^th and 20^th century buildings and as such, our products have also become iconic. Naturally, premium products attract equivalent prices.

So Crittall’s windows and doors are more expensive than cheaper, mass-produced alternatives for the reasons stated above. We make no apologies for that, but we can pose another question – why wouldn’t you choose an aluminium-built alternative over a Crittall window?

Well, if you’ve been doing your research you’ll be aware that there are hundreds of products out there labelled ‘Crittall-style’ or ‘Crittall-type’. Unfortunately, these products are simply inferior to ours and, at very best, are just imitations of steel windows and won’t perform in the same way. Crittall-branded products offer quality and craftsmanship that simply can’t be beaten by alternative window materials, which is why so many architects turn to us when they’re planning a new build or refurbishment project.

In a nutshell, Crittall’s windows and doors are the real deal. When you choose a durable Crittall product, you know you’re making a good investment in a premium product that encompasses quality, strength, and an impressive heritage. For these and many other reasons, we are the market leader in windows and doors, and our continuing dedication to excellence will ensure this remains for many years to come.
