The old traditional steel windows still look great to this day! However, they are getting on a bit. And manufacturing methods and glazing technologies have come on leaps and bounds since the old windows were installed.
The great replacement | Old Steel Window to W20 Steel
We are not too sure about the opaque glass to the bottom either.
We did suggest a nice colour matched kick plate. Nonetheless, the client gets what the client wants. And this opaque glazed unit is Krypton filled for added energy efficiency!

Reasons for replacing your old rusty windows to new W20 Steel Windows and Doors
We don't feel like we have to convince clients of making any choices. We only want to inform about the product as much as we can.
So we thought about listing a few (strong) reasons for W20 Steel Window replacement:
1. Energy Efficiency
It does sound boring we know, but apart from saving the planet this will cut down your bills. Not to mention you will feel warmer on cold UK winter nights. And cooler on our hot summer days.
2. Stunning Character
Black steel frames look great in all environments. The slender sight lines can transform a property. Coupled with their beauty is their inherent strength. As a result large expansive windows and doors can be created which allow for massive amounts of natural light.
3. No Maintenance
Our steel is galvanised and powder coated which results in a product that can stand the onslaught of UK weather for decades to come!
More importantly, upgraded hinges, locks and weather seals result in door and windows that operate smoothly and are more secure.
In summary
We still think old steel windows look amazing and have tonnes of character.
