The decision to install new steel windows<\/a> or contemporary steel screens<\/a> into your home is a big one, requiring plenty of thought and planning. The end result is a dramatic transformation that brings better insulation and security and plenty of light to your property. But it\u2019s not often that we think about the origins of these beautiful steel windows or how they came to be.<\/p>\n

Here we outline a brief history of how steel windows are made and look at the steel window’s journey from the factory to your home.<\/p>\n

\"Clement<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The history of steel windows<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve previously touched upon the history of steel windows<\/a> and how metal windows were originally made, centuries ago, from wrought iron in a blacksmith\u2019s forge. At this time, clear glass could only be produced in small panes, leading to the creation of the diamond patterned glazing bars that we still use today.<\/p>\n

By the mid 1800s, a process for hot rolling steel made the creation of steel windows possible, quickly leading to them becoming popular in the construction of both homes and commercial buildings, and much admired for their adaptability, strength and beautiful appearance.<\/p>\n

Your steel windows’ journey today<\/h2>\n

Today, whilst the hot rolling design is still faithfully adhered to for producing the steel window frame, modern advances in steel manufacturing enable us to produce steel windows at a much faster rate, with hot rolling and pressing carried out by industrial machinery.<\/p>\n

The steel bars are welded together to form the frame unit and then hot dip galvanised, a pre-treatment process that protects the material from corrosion over time. This process which was introduced during the 1950’s was integral to the development of steel window manufacturing contesting the common misconception<\/a> that steel will rust over time.<\/p>\n

\"Manufacturing\"<\/p>\n

The frames are then fettled by hand so that their surfaces are ready for paint coatings. At Clement Windows, we use a powder coating that enables us to finish your steel windows in almost any colour you choose<\/a>, meaning we can create truly bespoke schemes to fit your home.<\/p>\n

Finally, the frames and components are assembled by hand to create the finished window, rigorously tested and then carefully packaged to be delivered to your property. The end result, as you can see, is a window product which is a world away from its origins as raw steel.<\/p>\n
