Don’t Compromise on Replacing Steel Windows

Feb. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- The use of metal framed windows is evident in numerous buildings; from a small family home to the grandest stately property, including those of historical interest, listed properties and within conservation areas. The iconic style of 1930’s steel windows are clearly loved for their aesthetics; however the homeowner can feel less pleased with the draughts, condensation and cold glass and frames they must endure.

When looking to replace original steel windows in these types of buildings, homeowners can become daunted by the windows on offer and what they can achieve; and often believe that the only solution to achieve a warm, draught free window is to pursue replacement with much bulkier framing, that frequently fails to achieve its claim of being an ideal ‘steel replacement’, leaving the property lacking in its previous charm, and on some occasions reducing its market value.

Met Therm Windows based in Hampshire are one of the companies who have been working
on developing the modern period metal window, and by combining their extensive knowledge of the steel window market has achieved a modern replacement window that offers traditional styling, superior thermal efficiency as well as an incredibly slim frame, allowing replacement of steel windows without compromise.

We regularly receive calls from customers who are despairing at the draughts, rust and
condensation they are experiencing but desperately wanting to keep the beautiful look of their home; and/or needing to meet conservation officers’ requirements. They’re concerned their only options are to use UPVC, or chunky framed alternatives, or to maintain the slim frames, replace with double glazed steel that will still allow condensation to form. With our AG210, its fantastic when we can offer them it all, the chance to retain their slim frame, traditionally crafted windows, increased security and all the thermal efficiency of a modern A rated window – no need to compromise.

Its important for home owners to realise that replacement of period steel windows can be achieved with all the charm and character of the original design whilst obtaining the modern benefits of energy efficiency, security and low maintenance.
