Mar 26, 2020
It's hip to be square...
Steel windows are everywhere - Even Joe Wicks' has got them in his kitchen.
Three reasons why steel windows could be right for you:
1. Preserving Character
If you live in a house which still has it's original metal windows intact, the replacement of these slender, single glazed steel windows with slim aluminium ones will preserve the character and architectural integrity of your home. Modern technology brings thermal benefits too; you’ll no longer have to wear an Aaron sweater around the house from September through May.
2. Restoring Former Glories
Replacing replacements that have been poorly specified with correctly proportioned, steel-look frames will hugely boost the curb appeal of your period home. Are you the owner of a lovely 1930’s home who succumbed to the charms of an over-zealous double-glazing salesmen in the 80’s and replaced your elegant Crittal® windows with chunky, shiny white plastic ones? If so - it's time to make amends.
3. Just Being Cool
Steel windows are ‘trending’; so maybe it's just time to join the growing number of householders that see steel windows as an expression of everything contemporary and cool. Says Interior designer Tracey Andrews;
“Crittal is edgy, minimalist, and versatile. With its eye-catching frames and modern lines, it compliments all types of spaces whether industrial, mid-century or Scandinavian. Grid-like windows compliment large industrial spaces. Think warehouse - exposed brick and open plan, all demanding zoned areas for an inviting and useable living space."
There you have it then; steel is the ‘hipster’ of windows, it captures the zeitgeist.
