There are several different glazing styles for steel windows available, each with outstanding features which faithfully replicate original steel windows. The main styles are detailed below, together with the main types of glass which are available, but please contact us if you have something particular in mind which is not included here.
Please note that the Technical Specifications documents for specific window ranges can be found on our Technical page.
Simulated leaded light double glazed units are available in both diamond or rectangular pattern and other designs if required. These feature real lead which is applied to the outside and inside of the outer pane of the insulated glass unit. Each junction of the horizontal and vertical leads is then soldered by hand in our workshops. Not all companies offer this authentic finish which makes all the different to the final appearance of the window. Select either 9mm or 12mm flat lead. Obscure, safety glass and other options available.
Genuine leaded lights have been crafted in the same way since time immemorial. If required for your historic project these single glazed leaded lights can offer classic period detailing such as ‘tie bars’ and ‘copper ties’ and are suitable for properties that are listed, in a Conservation Area or an Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty.
This is where a hot rolled section is made in the shape of a ‘T’ to divide the glass into multiple panes.
The Georgian Fenestra joint system uses welded horizontal and vertical bars to replicate the original window design. This technique, using an engineered welded strip, is unique to Clement.
In order to replicate Georgian bars, we offer multi-pane windows that use Clement’s G+ system for added authenticity. G+ uses an engineered welded steel strip fabricated in a horizontal (or horizontal and vertical) pattern to match the configuration of the original windows. The method of fabrication is proprietary to Clement. The benefit of using the G+ range is primarily one of reduced cost, improved thermal performance and slimmer sightlines. G+ is often selected where a cottage pane style is required.
Clear glass is the choice for many of our clients. With no glazing bars, clear glass allows you to maximise the natural daylight and solar gain, providing an uninterrupted view over your garden.
If you require glazing that will provide privacy while still allowing natural light into a room, we offer a range of obscure glass.
Safety glass is toughened or tempered glass which is manufactured for strength or fire resistance. It is less likely to break or to inflict injury when broken.
Solar glass allows light to pass through a window while radiating or reflecting away a lot of the sun’s heat, thereby making an interior space bright while keeping it cool.
Acoustic glass is constructed in such a way that noise is kept out without any effect on the amount of light provided by your windows.
Also known as fluted glass or ribbed glass, reeded glass is a contemporary, textured glass with a vertical lined design which is semi-obscure.
