Crittall Windows’ quality steel windows and doors offer designers a versatile and visually stunning solution for any home improvement project.
Leading steel window and door manufacturer, Crittall Windows, has been designing and creating steel windows and doors for almost 200 years. The products made today are worlds away from those manufactured more than a century ago. Modern steel windows and doors are sleek, stylish and surprisingly versatile, making them a fantastic alternative to materials like timber or uPVC.
Strength and durability
One of the biggest advantages of steel is its inherent strength. In fact, it’s the reason steel windows feature incredible slim profiles, flood properties with natural lighting and create a sense of spaciousness within a home.
Russell Ager, MD of Crittall Windows, said: “Steel windows are renowned for their unique design which can’t be replicated by other window materials.
“By combining the slim sightlines and large expanses of glass with the latest window technology, modern steel windows not only create bright atmospheres and retain heat within a home but also boast impressive security credentials, keeping homes well protected from unwanted intruders.”
The strength of steel also translates into design flexibility. Unlike other materials, steel can be crafted into a variety of shapes and styles as Russell explains.
“No matter if you’re looking for a more traditional or contemporary window design, steel can adapt to suit a range of home improvement projects. So, if you’re looking for a classic look with symmetrical windows or would prefer a more modern curved window style, the choice is completely yours when you choose steel for your replacement windows or doors.”
Find a colour to complement your style
The versatility of steel windows and doors also extends to the extensive range of colour options available. This is because, when you work with a quality steel window and door manufacturer, steel windows and doors can be made to complement any design scheme. “At Crittall, we offer a comprehensive range of colours, custom shades and textured finishes so our customers can personalise their steel windows or doors and find a finish which matches the home’s aesthetic and personal preference,” adds Russell.
“Our steel products are also hot-dip galvanized, to provide exceptional corrosion resistance, and finished with a durable, low-maintenance powder coating which increases the longevity of the product, and significantly reduces the amount of maintenance required over time.”
Popular steel window and door colour trends
With an extensive colour palette including matt, satin, gloss or textured finishes you can fully embrace the many design possibilities available when you choose steel windows and doors.
“It’s unsurprising to see that classic shades like black and anthracite grey remain an ever popular choice across the UK,” adds Russell.
“These colours are synonymous with historical steel window design and add a touch of timeless elegance to both contemporary and traditional properties.
“For a touch of warmth, we’ve seen interior designers opt for cream and white tones which offer a softer look particularly suited to period homes. Bold options have also gained traction too with deep blues and greens adding a striking statement to self-build or renovation projects.”
