This overwhelming vote of confidence reflects the organisation’s dedication to excellence and impressive legacy which spans across almost two centuries.
While it’s fantastic to see a large proportion of architects recognising Crittall Windows for their work, MD Russell Ager, highlights an area in the industry which needs addressing.
Russell Ager, MD at Crittall Windows, said: “There’s no doubt you’ve probably encountered terms like Crittall-style or Crittall-type but be warned because they are just imitations of steel products.
“The phrase is very misleading as it refers to products attempting to replicate slimmer sightlines - a style synonymous with steel window innovation. But the windows and doors may not be the real deal and therefore, won’t perform in the same way.”
The Crittall Windows name is in fact a registered trademark which protects the specific steel window design pioneered by the company all those years ago. The products manufactured by the team of specialists offer unbeatable quality and craftsmanship that can’t be beaten by alternative window materials.
A legacy of innovation
In 1849, steel windows created a new era in fenestration characterised by unbeatable strength, durability and a distinctive aesthetic.
Although the success of Crittall Windows’ steel products has encouraged others to mimic the style and design of steel windows, Russell argues that when architects invest in Crittall Windows, they’re investing in much more than the steel frames.
“If you want to include windows or doors featuring impressively slim sightlines and large expanses of glass in your projects, steel can’t be beaten,” he explains.
“You deserve the real deal and should experience the many benefits of specifying windows built with nearly 200 years of expertise and precision.”
Real steel windows and doors from Crittall Windows are always manufactured with an unwavering dedication to quality, superior engineering and timeless design which is always hand-finished to create a flawless product.
“At our headquarters in Essex, we perfectly combine modern machinery with traditional techniques to guarantee unparalleled strength, impressive performance and incredible longevity of our steel windows and doors,” comments Russell.
“Plus, we’re constantly innovating, developing and refining our processes to make sure we can keep up with the ever-evolving needs of the market.
“This commitment to continuously improve and push boundaries is what sets us apart and ensures we remain the leading provider of steel windows and doors in the UK.”
Revolutionary modern steel systems
Thanks to the team’s investment in the latest cutting-edge technology and their dedication to evolve, modern steel windows and doors manufactured today look outstanding and deliver excellent thermal insulation properties.
In fact, Crittall Windows recently launched a thermally enhanced rolled steel window and door system. A real gamechanger in the steel window and door market, Corporate W20 TE® achieves a thermal gradient across the profile equivalent to that of a thermally broken steel section. What’s more the inherent strength and robustness of the steel has not been compromised meaning the product can be specified for the most demanding new build or replacement applications.
Over the years, Crittall Windows’ products have been installed in iconic buildings not just in the UK but across the world. If you’re looking for steel windows and doors which deliver on aesthetics, performance and offer unbeatable heritage, contact Crittall Windows today.
