Russell Ager, MD of leading steel window and door manufacturer Crittall Windows, is exploring why steel windows, doors and internal screens are an investment worth making for your Cheshire home

When it comes to improving any home, more and more homeowners are on the hunt for replacement windows and doors that combine outstanding aesthetics with outstanding performance. One building material in particular which achieves exactly this is steel. 

In fact, when manufactured to the highest standards, it delivers outstanding thermal efficiency and looks fantastic, making it a preferred choice for discerning Cheshire homeowners who are revamping their home.

Truth be told, few architectural elements make as striking an impact as windows, doors or internal screens manufactured from steel and here’s why.

Steel’s unmatched versatility

Modern day steel windows, doors and screens suit both traditional Cheshire properties and contemporary new builds. Their slim profiles and minimal sightlines create an elegant aesthetic that can’t be matched by alternative window systems. Homes are flooded with natural light, completely transforming any indoor space.

What’s more, steel frames are completely customisable. So, whether you’re on the market for external or internal windows, doors or screens you can create distinct living areas that reflect your personal style and taste. Choose from a wide range of colours, hardware options or glazing configurations to not only perfectly match but also complement your home’s interior design.

Unbeatable durability

One of the most unique features of steel window and door systems is their exceptional longevity and versatility. At Crittall Windows, our products are manufactured from high-grade recycled steel which means they are truly built to last. In fact, some steel windows or doors have been known to last 100 years - which is three times as long as alternative materials.

There’s no denying that the upfront cost of steel systems is higher than other window and door systems, but their lifetime value is incredibly competitive – especially if they’ll need replacing just once a century.

As well as lasting many years, modern manufacturing processes have evolved dramatically since steel was first introduced to the UK by Crittall Windows in 1849, improving the quality and robustness of the finished products.

Today, premium steel windows, doors and internal screens are galvanized to prevent rust and receive factory-applied Duralife polyester powder coating. This finish properly protects the steel from corrosion and everyday wear and tear, so their pristine appearance lasts many years. 

Maintaining high-quality steel windows is also a stress-free experience as they require very little upkeep to ensure they look incredible and operate efficiently for decades.

Improved security and performance

With modern steel windows and doors, security comes as standard. Unlike traditional steel systems manufactured 175 years ago, products developed today feature advanced multipoint locking systems and quality hardware. 

At Crittall Windows, all our steel systems have passed the rigorous PAS24 security test. This ensures they can resist a level of attack from unwanted intruders, providing homeowners complete peace of mind that their property is well protected.

The modern choice for Cheshire homes

Ultimately, whether you’re renovating a period property or building a modern home, steel windows, doors or screens provide the ideal combination of style and substance. With their impressive lifespan, versatile design options, and superior performance characteristics, they represent a premium choice for Cheshire properties that will stand the test of time.

As a substantial investment for your home, always choose a reputable supplier with unbeatable experience and a commitment to developing quality steel windows, doors and internal screens. Launched in the UK in 1849, Crittall Windows is a steel system manufacturer with a rich heritage for British craftsmanship. The team of specialists continue to lead the way designing innovative solutions for homeowners.
