With burglary rates in the UK at 817 per day and a one in forty-three chance of your household being targeted, home security is a top priority. As we enter the colder months with longer, darker nights, homeowners are not only concerned about protecting their property but also keeping energy bills down during the current cost of living crisis.

Secure Your Home with Crittall’s Homelight Steel Windows

Crittall’s advanced steel framed window, Homelight, offers a comprehensive solution for enhancing home security and improving energy efficiency. Russell Ager, Managing Director of Crittall Windows, emphasizes, “Factors like security features and energy savings are key when deciding which windows are best for your home. You can put your mind at rest and significantly reduce energy costs by choosing high-quality, well-designed, stylish steel windows.”

Enhanced Security Features

Look to the innovation in window frame development. For example, our reengineered Homelight range of residential windows is the 21st century enhanced version of the original Standard Metal Window first made by our company during the 1920s.  It brings new-look styling and window profiling, plus higher energy-savings, performance, and enhanced security.  Whatever the type or size of your property, it’s an authentic ‘like for like’ steel window. Peace-of-mind is reassured through an improved, robust, security multi-point locking option tested to the Enhanced Security PAS 24 standard – so the window is especially secure. With higher energy-saving accreditations, the window is thermally improved to meet Part L of Building Regulations by achieving either a Window Energy Rating (WER) Band B or a U value as low as 1.0w/m2k.’

Superior Energy Efficiency

For additional energy efficiency, Homelight windows include double weatherstripping, and feature larger, high-performance, double-glazing units which, coupled with minimal profile sizes, achieve excellent Window Energy Rating standards.  These features provide year-round comfort ensuring this bespoke modern steel window retains heat during cold winters, and controls heat in the summer, whilst also generally reducing noise levels.

Timeless Design and Durability

Easy to replace, Homelight windows replicate the original Homelight standard metal window with modular, multi-light construction and comes with fixed, top or side hung including projecting options.  While its even slimmer ‘timeless’ frame profiles and sight-lines present a light delicate feel inside and out, creating a welcome sense of airiness and space.  To maximise daylight, the window’s design incorporates larger areas of glass than any other window of a similar size.

According to industry statistics, quality-made, galvanized steel windows like Homelight can last over 60 years, offering excellent long-term value. These are quality-made, galvanized steel windows. They are competitively priced, economical to maintain long-term.   While being Polyester powder coated ensures a consistent, even, coating, not requiring redecoration for 25 – 30 years.

The window is available through the nationwide network of Crittall Specialist Partners in a choice of styles (including true divided glazing bar options) and as part of the Crittall  Colour Collection in 46 colours, plus different colours can be specified for internal and external surfaces. The steel window frames can match – or contrast with – your interior décor.

Mr Ager adds: ‘When choosing window frames for your home, carefully consider the style and material.  They have a dramatic impact on the look – personality – of your home, even affecting its value.  Its important that the windows chosen match its style.  Installed appropriately, quality steel windows can enhance a property.

It’s not worth spoiling the look of a property for the sake of a cheap installation. Ensure you install the window brand it says it is – only the original, genuine make.   As a top brand in the marketplace and the original steel window company, our steel windows, doors and screens are often imitated but never matched.’
