More and more architects are integrating steel windows and doors in their designs. The advantage of using steel windows and doors is, that it ables designers to create slim profiles and frames to achieve the right proportions.
Steel windows allow a room to be filled with the maximum amount of light and is creating a closer connection with the exterior or the garden.
The combination of steel windows and wooden doors, or vice versa, is wonderful.
The images here will illusrate this.
A brick floor in combination with the steel windows and door.
The lines of the window are more or less repeated in the steel frame of the coffee table.
A close connection with the landscape outside.
Again a combination of steel and brick.
Love this door!
Steel windows are very comfortable to use in an orangery or in a conservatory. They allow the maximum amount of light to come in and create an indoor/outdoor feeling.
Notice the slim frame of this window/door.
If you don’t dare to bring in a big steel window, try a small one as this! Charming isn’t it?
A steel door/window construction between this kitchen and the room next to it.
Awesome

Perfect proportion !
I love the shadows of the window lines on the floor.
I am convinced of the beauty of these steel windows and doors! Are you?
Note :I would love to thank all of you for your wonderful comments on my previous post about the teenager photoshoot of my nephew Simon!!! He was so pleased to read your thoughts!!!

Hi Greet,
ReplyDeleteI have revised several times the images .... what a beauty!!!! Always I sit a great attraction for the relation between the interior and the outdoors across the windows and the doors, I love all the examples that exist in your post (your photo is so gorgeous!!!)
A pleasure always to come to your blog.
I hope that he is enjoying this end of August,
Hugs,
Cecilia
Some of the best pictures I have seen. Would it be possible to use them on my website?
DeleteWij vinden die stalen afwerkingen voor ramen/deuren ook heel mooi en mijn man gaat straks - als de keuken af is - eveneens zulke grote vensters richting tuin plaatsen, net als voor de zijramen. Ik heb het geluk dat ik een man heb die dat allemaal zelf kan (is zijn job)! :)
ReplyDeleteMooie inspiratie!
Beste groetjes, Marjolijn
That's it I need an orangery with steel windows, stunning! I love steel windows and we tried industrial steel windows on a room but it's an 18th century house and it didn't work well so I'll admire from afar. Such a wonderful post and Happy Sunday!

Dag Greet,
ReplyDeleteHele mooie post. Ik wilde mijn deuren met roedeverdeling (wittevronghel) dat uiterlijk geven door ze donker(der)te maken maar kwam er achter dat ik dan tegen de achterkant van de roedes kijk en weet niet of dat wel mooi wordt. Gelukkig heb ik in de bijkeuken een ijzer raam,dat is overgebleven na de sloop van het huis wat hier eerst stond. Oh ja, ik heb ook nog een osseoog van ijzer. Dus ik mag niet klagen.
Fijne week gewenst,
groet Petra
So elegant and refined. The steel windows and your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely photos, Greet.

Schitterend, het maakt de ramen chique, sfeervol en ruimtelijk.
ReplyDeleteJa lieve Greet, je heb mij overtuigd, ze zijn stuk voor stuk prachtig, maar ook de locatie zelf werkt daar heel erg aan mij, wat een prachtige huizen en uitzichten.
ReplyDeleteWeer een prachtige reportage.
Fijne avond en een lieve groet, Mea
I just love these windows and doors. I cannot wait until I have the opportunity to use some. They are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteChristina
These are all so amazing! I love!
ReplyDeleteLuvs!
Nooit geweten dat het zo mooi en elegant kon zijn. Vooral de gebogen vormen en het gebruik in de 'conservatory'. Prachtig hoor. Bedankt voor de prachtige foto's. Groetjes Sandra
ReplyDeleteYou are right, these windows are beautiful and I love the industrial look combined with a more elegant or rustic decor. I also had a post on Lofts with images of windows, aluminum in this case, painted like wrought iron. The picture taken by you is great, the use of light perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreet,
ReplyDeleteThis post is fabulous and as usual, does not disappoint. I absolutely adore the look of using steel windows, but sadly here in America they are not used very much due to rising cost of the material and installation. However, to emulate the look, I have painted wood windows with true divided light in very rich brown tones and blac/brown tones. Not the same, but the effect is nice.
Have a great week and thank you again for always posting such wonderful insight into European Design.
I love them too !
ReplyDeleteToevallig zat ik vanmiddag nog eens de voorlaatste Stijlvol Wonen door te bladeren en ook daar zag ik het gebruik van stalen kozijnen terug....wonderschoon!! Lekker strak en luchtig!!!

What a great post, and some beautiful images. I am fortunate enough to work for Crittall Windows, the largest supplier of steel windows in Europe, and I see the impact our windows have both on the external and internal aspects of a building.
ReplyDeleteLove these huge windows though what struck me most is the brick flooring in picture. Of course I've seen brick floors but never one like this one with the sides of the brick showing. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful weekend, Greet!
I love the look of high end metal windows...thinking of replacing my front doors and back French doors and windows with bronze. For many years, I shied away from metal windows or doors because we had a horrible design thing (mostly to save $)going on here in the US with aluminum windows. They were/are dreadfully ugly with no architectural merit at all. Windows are such an important element that I believe it well worth the investment to go for the best. Thanks for inspiring us with these images.

our first home was built for the chicago worlds fair as the 'home of the future'. all the windows were steel. in our cold climate they were not ideal but i so loved the look
ReplyDeletemy favorite is the room with the brick floors!

Steel window are by far my favorite and I always try to include them as part of the construction phase. often though, the steep cost prohibits their use
ReplyDeleteLove it all!
ReplyDeleteAnd the dining room with the fireplace... I don't need a big house -- just that room.
I am finally back for real -- after a few weeks turned months of pure summer relaxation. Thank you for all your support, Greet. You are a wonderful friend.

Whether you are an architect, builder, or developer that needs hundreds of windows with custom details for a historic restoration project, or a homeowner that needs a few windows for a small addition.
ReplyDeleteThese are one of my favourite design elements at the moment and your images are perfection! If our budget would have allowed, I would have chosen them for our renovations...will have to wait until our next home! Tracey xx

Beautiful images! I am going to have steel doors in my kitchen, as one of the walls will overlook the garden. I am excited about incorporating them into my new house! They are very expensive, I wish I could do more of them, but it will make the kitchen special.

ReplyDeleteI have used steel for railing outside, great look, but have concerns about rusting. Would you and John Keleher address this issue with how it works with windows?
ReplyDeleteDag Greet,
ReplyDeleteYou did it again...wat een schitterende foto's en interieurs. Ben ook een liefhebber van zwarte stalen kozijnen, combineren heel mooi met hout en steen. Ongelooflijk, de kwaliteit van je bericht. Dank je wel,
Hartelijke groeten,

Gorgeous images Greet.
ReplyDeleteWe love steel windows and try to use them in our projects when ever the budget allows (they can get a bit pricey). We actually found a wonderful company that makes aluminum windows that look like steel. They were perfect for the beach (steel rusts within a year!). We're hoping to eventually use them at our beach house in Oxnard.
Thank you for the inspiration!

Absolutely love them. Interesting comments on some of the practical issues though. We are working with a client on a beautiful country home right now. Steel windows are absolutely not in the budget but we are going to use very narrow grids and paint the windows black for a similar look at obviously a fraction of the cost. Bobby Mcalpine has done this in the past with clients that could not afford the steel. I'll be posting pics when we are finished.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely ADORE steel windows and am determined to incorporate some in my next renovation, whenever that might be. Wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of these windows and doors. I think that metal doors can be a great asset to a home for a lot of reasons, including the increase in safety and durability. However, whichever type of door you choose, I think you should first research your options. McGraw Hill's Sweets Directory of construction products and manufacturers is a great place to go before I starting any home improvement project. Not only do they offer a lot of useful information, but they also have some really great CAD details that you can download. While I do work for them, I honestly use them myself because they offer the most complete directory I have seen. They are really worth taking a look at.
ReplyDeleteJust seen the comment about rusting. Of course steel windows need to be rust-proofed, this is usually achieved by galvanizing, or zinc-plating. My company, Crittall offer hot-dipped galvanizing as standard - here's why: http://tizzie.wodewick.co.uk/?p=96

ReplyDeleteIndeed, these windows and doors are very classic and elegant. And homes with these kind will really look majestic because of its simple, chic and modern style.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother's doors and windows has designs like these also. Every year or two, she renovate the theme and the designs of her home and she regularly change the galavanized steel band and galvanized steel band of her doors and windows for full protection and maintenance.

You gotta love 'em metal doors and windows, due to their feeling of giving you both security and beauty! As a metal and steampunk aficionado, I never let any place on the household of ours to have no metallic accessories (but, we don't want toilet paper made out of sheet metal on our bathroom.. haha!), especially on our front door with our copper alloys embellishments.
ReplyDeleteWhen putting steel windows and doors, it should match the house. Choosing the color for the steel door should be considered. I like the combination of steel and brick, since it gives a comfortable feeling.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous pictures. Thanks for posting it!!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I think of the plans for my dream house, I'm always reminded of my desire for my windows to be as stylish as this. That's because enjoying the view from a stylish window, adds beauty to the scenery.
