Question 1

What is hot rolled steel?

Accepted Answer

Hot rolled steel is produced by rolling steel at high temperatures, making it easier to shape. It offers excellent strength and versatility, making it ideal for structural applications such as steel windows and doors. The surface has a characteristic mill scale finish that can be treated or finished to suit architectural requirements.

Question 2

What is cold rolled steel?

Accepted Answer

Cold rolled steel is processed at or near room temperature, resulting in tighter tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and greater precision than hot rolled steel. It is ideal for applications requiring a superior aesthetic finish, such as high-end bespoke interior metalwork.

Question 3

Why use steel for windows and doors?

Accepted Answer

Steel is one of the strongest and most durable materials available, allowing for incredibly slim sightlines compared to aluminium or timber. This means more glass, more light, and a sleeker aesthetic. Steel windows and doors also offer excellent security, longevity, and can be finished in a wide range of patinas and powder coatings.

Question 4

What does thermally broken mean?

Accepted Answer

A thermally broken frame has a layer of low-conductivity material inserted between the inner and outer sections of the frame, acting as a thermal barrier. This dramatically reduces heat transfer, improving energy efficiency and preventing condensation — making thermally broken steel windows and doors compliant with modern building regulations.
