Steel Frame Profiles, Glazing & Hardware Options Explained
When it comes to steel windows and doors, every detail matters. From the frame profile to the glass selection and hardware, each element plays a role in the look, feel, and performance of your finished product.
At Architectural Steel Co., we offer a range of custom options so your steel windows and doors not only fit your space but also reflect your design vision. Here’s a simple guide to the key choices you’ll make along the way.
Steel Frame Profiles
The frame profile defines the structure, sightlines, and overall aesthetic of your steel windows and doors. We offer a selection of architectural-grade steel profiles to suit various design styles and functional needs.
Some of the most popular options include:
- Slimline Profiles: Ideal for contemporary projects, offering minimal sightlines and maximising glass area.
- Heritage Profiles: Designed to replicate classic steel window and door styles, perfect for period homes or restoration projects.
- Heavy-Set Profiles: For larger-scale openings or when a bolder, industrial look is desired.
All our profiles are finished to the highest standard, with custom powder-coated colours available to suit your architectural palette.
Glazing Options
Your choice of glazing affects not only the look of your steel windows and doors but also their performance. We offer a wide range of glass options to meet your design, energy efficiency, and privacy needs.
Some of the options include:
- Clear Glass: Perfect for maximising light and views.
- Obscure & Textured Glass: For added privacy without sacrificing natural light.
- Low-E Glass: Enhances thermal performance and reduces UV penetration.
- Double Glazing: Improves insulation, energy efficiency, and acoustic performance.
- Tinted or Reflective Glass: Helps control glare and solar heat gain.
Our team will work with you to select the best glazing option for your specific project requirements.
Hardware Options
Hardware is not just functional — it’s an important design detail. We offer a curated selection of premium hardware that complements the clean lines of our steel frames and provides reliable, long-lasting performance.
Available hardware options include:
- Hinges & Handles: Contemporary and classic styles in various finishes.
- Locks & Latches: Secure locking systems built for both residential and commercial use.
- Door Closers & Pivot Hardware: For smooth operation of large-scale or feature doors.
If your project requires specific hardware, we can also source and integrate custom options to suit.
The Power of Personalisation
Every element of your steel window and door package is fully customisable. Whether you’re aiming for minimal modern lines, heritage charm, or bold architectural features, we’ll work with you to refine every detail — from frame profile to finish.
At Architectural Steel Co., we believe in delivering steel solutions that are as unique as the spaces they’re designed for.
