The dark days of a British winter often bring homeowners around to the fact that their properties suffer from a severe lack of light. Living for months on end in such conditions can be a gloom-inducing experience not made much better by summers that are often wet and overcast.
The solution? A window that lets in as much natural light as possible, creating spaces that feel both intimate and expansive, traditional yet thoroughly modern. Here at Crittall, our signature windows have become the choice of architects and homeowners who understand that exceptional design goes beyond functionality. The distinctive grid pattern of Crittall windows has become an iconic design feature, sought after by leading architects and interior designers as a valuable addition to overall home decor. Whether used in heritage properties or contemporary builds, these windows create a striking focal point whilst flooding interiors with natural light.
Creating Impact with Steel
We have been making steel windows since 1849, and we know their enduring appeal lies in their strength, allowing for larger glazed areas with minimal framework. Steel enables the creation of striking windows in the living room, dining room or bedroom that wouldn’t be possible with alternative materials. Whether you’re carrying out a renovation on a period property or adding contemporary flair to a new house, steel windows offer unparalleled versatility. For example, our signature W20 range exemplifies the perfect balance of form and function. These slender profiles create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, whilst the thermally enhanced W20 TE variation delivers superior energy efficiency without compromising on aesthetics.
Versatility in Design
The Homelight range presents a sophisticated solution for traditional properties, offering enhanced security features whilst maintaining the classic Crittall aesthetic. Meanwhile, our T60 range provides outstanding thermal performance, making it ideal for exposed locations or particularly temperature-sensitive spaces.
When considering large window installations, it’s worth noting that steel’s inherent strength allows for:
- Significantly slimmer frames than aluminium or timber
- Greater glass area for extra natural light
- Superior durability with minimal maintenance requirements
- Excellent security features
Design Inspiration
External windows aren’t the only solution to a lack of light. Consider incorporating internal steel partitions as room dividers, creating sophisticated zoned areas while giving an existing or new home an open-plan feel. Floor-to-ceiling installations can transform ordinary rooms into spectacular spaces.
