Crittall Steel Windows

Steel windows have been in existence since the 1930's and are the feature of many period buildings. Steel windows can be found in many different building types particularly in houses built in the Art deco period, 1930's English houses, Country properties, Tudor and Mock Tudor. Steel windows have a significant role to play in the history of British architecture characterised by the extremely slim frame profiles and 'sunshine bays' where both the frame and glass is curved. Windows from this period add a certain character and charm to a building which cannot be re-created with alternative materials such as PVC or timber.
