Why Choose Steel

Since the 1850s, doors, and windows have been made from hot-rolled steel. Many of the historic buildings found throughout big cities feature handcrafted steel doors and windows. Some of these older buildings date back to the Civil War era. 

Today, steel windows and doors are used in a variety of projects from historical renovations to new home construction to commercial buildings. While it might seem common to find aluminum and wood windows and doors in buildings today, this is simply due to the lower cost. Steel is a superior material and offers a better option.

Stronger

Steel is three times as strong as aluminum and offers a better material for windows and doors. It’s sixteen times stronger than wood and won’t rot as wood does. Not only does steel offer a stronger material, but it’s also less susceptible to corrosion, rust, or water damage.

With the strength of steel, windows and doors can be fabricated with super-slim frames, which means more glass can be used. It’s also very easy to customize the design of steel windows to fit just about any shape, size, or configuration needed for your building.

Whether you’re seeking steel doors and windows for a historical renovation or for a residential or commercial construction project, you’ll have a much stronger material that will last longer.

A Minimalistic Look

The narrow sightlines offer a minimalistic look and convey a sense of strength. Steel windows and doors provide a timeless appearance that will never go out of style. The graceful lines and incredible durability offer a wide range of designs not found with other inferior materials.

Maximum Glass Area

The strength of steel allows for a super-thin frame design. With narrow frame dimensions, you gain a maximized glass area, which means more natural light and more design possibilities.

Long-Term Value

While aluminum and wood windows and doors might be less expensive up front, they don’t provide the long-term value of steel. Investing in steel windows and doors for your residential or commercial building will end up saving you money in the long run.

Steel provides the best long-term value when it comes to doors and windows. It lasts longer, requires fewer repairs, and offers a sturdier product. The natural strength fives steel a better fire rating provides more security for our building and offers better sound reduction.
