Crittall Windows has achieved PAS 24: 2022 certification for all its external steel door systems, further strengthening its commitment to security and performance.

Recently, a Corporate W20 TE® door was successfully tested to the security standard PAS 24 by UL Solutions in Telford. This result means the Corporate W20 TE® system now sits alongside the firm’s Homelight® range, which is also PAS 24 compliant.

PAS 24 is a Publicly Available Specification overseen by the British Standards Institution. It sets out a method of testing to assess the security performance of windows and doors, making sure they withstand levels of attack associated with opportunist burglary.

The Corporate W20 TE® door is a thermally enhanced evolution of Crittall’s established rolled steel system. Manufactured from galvanised steel and powder coated in a wide range of finishes, it combines slim sightlines with robust construction. The system is designed to deliver strong thermal and weather performance, achieving U values as low as 1.4 W/m²K, while retaining the characteristic profiles synonymous with the Crittall name.

Homelight®, the company’s residential steel door range, also meets PAS 24 requirements and is equipped with multi-point locking systems. Together, these certified systems provide assurance that Crittall external steel doors meet recognised security benchmarks alongside current Building Regulations.

Russell Ager, Managing Director of Crittall Windows, said: “With Corporate W20 TE® now PAS 24 certified alongside Homelight®, our full external door range meets the latest security standards, giving architects, specifiers and installers confidence in both performance and durability.”

Clement Windows Group recently manufactured the new, bespoke steel windows and doors at 30 Charing Cross Road in Central London.

The lower three floors of the building have been subject to major structural works in readiness for a new commercial tenant and now comprise a three-storey restaurant and retail unit.

Clement’s W40 range of slim, steel profiles was chosen for the arched head steel windows on the first floor.  Clement also manufactured the Jansen Economy 50 cold rolled steel sections for the beautifully detailed doors on the ground floor.

Charing Cross Road is one of London’s most bustling streets so the logistics of the project were complex.  The site is within the Covent Garden Conservation Area and the use of genuine, replacement steel windows and doors, which look just like the originals, was a condition of the renovation.

Architect Nathan Hodges commented: “Clement is always our first choice when it comes to steel framed glazing, they consistently provide an excellent service from initial design through to installation on site.  The end product is always of the highest quality.  At 30 Charing Cross Road, the building has been totally transformed by the traditionally designed shopfronts and first floor display glazing – we have a very happy client as a result.”

The Clement W40 range of steel windows and doors is perfect for metal window replacement projects where the pattern of the original fenestration is to be maintained.  These superior quality frames are manufactured from hot rolled steel profiles, which are produced from 98% recycled steel source material.

Clement manufactures external and internal single and double doors from Jansen cold formed steel profiles which meet the latest specifications for energy efficiency and fire protection and, due to their resilience, are suitable for areas of high footfall.

Clement Windows Group offers an innovative range of steel windows, doors, screens and conservation rooflights for both private residences and commercial projects.

Clement Windows Group has manufactured slim-framed steel windows and doors for a magnificent new build property in Shropshire, conceived by Charters Property.  The windows, from the Clement EB20 range, achieve a ‘B’ Window Energy Rating.

Charters Property is a property developer which specialises in premium, high quality residential developments.  They design and deliver exceptional homes throughout the county of Shropshire and beyond and have more than 25 years of experience working on historic buildings using traditional techniques.  These skills are combined at Underwood, their latest new build project.

Clement’s products are often chosen by Charters for their amazing projects.  This new build is the latest and showcases around 30 beautiful, bespoke steel windows and doors.  The site is situated withing walking distance of Ludlow town with fabulous views of the river Corve and Ludlow Castle.

Outside, the external brickwork was covered in a breathable lime slurry.  The new fenestration looks stunning against the white backdrop this created.  Inside, the light flows through the slim window and door sections opening up the already spacious rooms.  The final result is incredible.

The EB20 range of steel windows is Clement’s most popular and versatile product for both residential and commercial situations.  The exceptionally slim, 20mm, double glazed, insulated glass units are produced from 98% recycled steel source material.  These windows are low maintenance and the strength of the steel frames combined with single or multi point locking means they are also extremely secure.

The steel doors at the project are bespoke and from the Clement W40 range, consisting of slim, strong and durable frames.

A representative from Charters Property commented: “We have worked with Clement on numerous projects over the years, and they have consistently provided an excellent service. This project required a significant number of large steel windows, and they were able to deliver the scheme on time and to a very good standard. Their communication remained clear and client focused throughout the process and we would happily recommend their service.”

Clement Windows Group offers an innovative range of steel windows, doors, screens and conservation rooflights which are suitable for both residential and commercial situations.

Crittall Windows has announced a new strategic collaboration with Secco Sistemi, the renowned Italian manufacturer of high-performance steel windows and doors systems. The partnership represents a further commitment by Crittall to expand its product portfolio and maintain its leadership in the premium market segment.

This new relationship will see Crittall working alongside Secco Sistemi and Barclay Mathieson Architectural (BMA), the sole importer of Secco systems into the United Kingdom. Through this collaboration, Crittall will fabricate Secco’s thermally broken steel systems for both the UK and North American markets.

Its products have been specified in landmark projects across Europe and beyond, including the James Simon Galerie in Berlin by David Chipperfield Architects.

With more than seven decades of experience, Secco has evolved from its industrial origins to become a highly regarded partner to contemporary architects. Crittall will source Secco profiles and accessories through BMA, ensuring full control over specification and supply. The partnership enables Crittall to bring Secco systems to market with the same attention to detail and project-led service that has defined the Essex-based company for 175 years.

It reflects our commitment to evolve with our clients’ needs and to bring new, design-led systems to market without compromise.”

Have you seen the new colour chart for Clement’s steel windows and doors?

The team at Clement always talks about how many different colours are available for their bespoke steel windows and doors, but did you know you can now view these in the company’s new RAL Colour Chart?

Black steel doors and windows are still a popular look, but the colour options for standard polyester powder paint in a semi gloss or matt finish at Clement are numerous.  There is also a huge range of non-standard colours, available at an extra cost.

Clement offers a dual colour finish too, where you can choose to paint the window frames different colours internally and externally.  There are complementary silicone colours and specialist metallic effect finishes are also available – speak to a sales advisor for more information.

The company uses the fabulous powder paint colours by Akzo Nobel, who are renowned global leaders in advanced performance surface coatings.  Akzo Nobel paints are highly durable and Clement’s factory specialists bake the paint on at a high temperature to give a superb finish.

Generally offered with a warranty of ten years, polyester powder coated steel windows and doors by Clement provide an average paint coating in excess of 100 microns, when the industry standard is 60 microns.  Clement’s hot dip galvanised, polyester powder coated steel frames require minimal maintenance and last for many years.

Several customers have opted for unusual colour schemes – the team at Clement has manufactured blue windows, red door screens and yellow doors in recent years!

Clement Naked Steel windows and doors enhance newly renovated Surrey workspace

Visit the Clement Windows website

Clement Windows Group is thrilled to have manufactured and installed new steel windows and doors with a Naked Steel finish for Kew Studios and Works in Richmond, Surrey.

Kew Studios and Works is no ordinary workspace.  Formerly a manor house, the building has been completely refurbished with a sympathetic touch to ensure that its original period charm is still apparent in the new design.

Sustainability was a key part of the refurbishment.  Solar panels, a living green roof and electric vehicle charging points have been included.  The development has already achieved a “B” Energy Performance Certificate and it is hoped that it will go on to gain BREEAM Very Good certification.

Clement manufactured steel doors and windows from its W40 range for the outside of the building.  Instead of being painted, these have been left with a contemporary Clement Naked Steel galvanised finish which gives a nod to the original industrial aesthetic of the building.

For the series of internal doors and screens, Clement manufactured Jansen Janisol 2 and C4 profiles to ensure ample natural light flows through the space.

Architect Andrew Martin of AMD Interior Architecture commented:

“The project brief was to create light, bright welcoming spaces which are modern and functional but true to the character of this former 18th century house and connected 1940s warehouses.  Clement’s steel-framed windows and doors help to achieve this, allowing masses of natural light to flow throughout the space.  The service received from start to finish was outstanding as was the result.”

Clement offers a choice of finishes in the Naked Steel range.  The basic steel frame can be galvanised or applied with a clear lacquer finish for external applications, while for internal frames there is a variety of different options, from rusted, shot blasted, clear lacquered, galvanised or painted.

Clement W40 bespoke steel windows and doors are perfect for metal window replacement projects where the pattern of the original fenestration is to be maintained.  The frames are manufactured from hot rolled steel profiles, which are produced from 98% recycled steel source material.

Clement manufactures external and internal single and double doors from Jansen cold formed steel profiles which meet the latest specifications for energy efficiency and fire protection and due to their resilience are very suitable for areas of high footfall.

Clement Windows Group manufactures an innovative range of steel windows, doors and screens for both private residences and commercial projects.  The company also offers a selection of conservation rooflights.

Clement Windows Group has manufactured new, thermally broken steel windows and steel doors for an office building in Central London.

The existing commercial premises at 22-23 Little Portland Street comprised ground, basement and four upper floors.  Robson Warren Architects were briefed to design a scheme to improve the office facilities and services to enable the building to attract further tenants.

It was important that any proposals took account of the environmental sustainability of the works and their impact on the property which is located in the East Marylebone Conservation Area.

Clement manufactured bespoke steel windows and doors from the Jansen Janisol Arte 2 and Jansen Janisol HI ranges.  The new windows and doors comprised thermally broken steel windows, thermally broken French doors and thermally broken, triple glazed lift and slide doors.

Peter Warren of Robson Warren Architects commented:

“The installation was completed to our satisfaction without any significant issues, and we would not hesitate to return to Clement Windows for enquiries about future steel-framed window projects.”

Clement manufactures slender Jansen steel profile window and doors which meet the highest requirements of thermal insulation, security and fire protection, as well as mechanical strength and longevity.  Suitable for restoration work as well as new build projects, the slim frames can be fitted into all opening types.  Steel doors manufactured from Jansen cold formed steel profiles are very resilient and therefore suitable for areas of high footfall.
