About the service

Steel windows — often called Crittall-style — combine the slimmest possible sightlines with industrial-aesthetic appeal. Originally used in 1920s and 30s art deco and modernist buildings, they're now back in demand for kitchen extensions, internal screens, heritage refurbishments and high-end residential projects. S&K Glazing supplies and installs both authentic hot-rolled steel systems (W20, MW40) and slim aluminium look-alikes.

Working in Ipswich

Ipswich's medieval Wet Dock heritage, Georgian conservation, and modern Waterfront regeneration give us varied workloads across IP1-IP5. Listed-building consents around the Ancient House, heritage timber sash work, and modern commercial shopfronts feature in our Suffolk workload.

For heritage and listed-property work in Ipswich, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Suffolk council's conservation area rules and listed-building consent requirements, using putty-glazed timber sashes, slim-sightline secondary glazing systems that sit invisibly behind original primary glazing, and steel-window restoration for Crittall-style frames. Most commonly we're working across IP1 and IP5 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for East conservation areas.

Our process

How we deliver in Ipswich

01

Design consultation

We help you choose between authentic hot-rolled steel (heaviest, most authentic) and modern aluminium look-alikes (lighter, thermally-broken, more affordable).

02

Custom manufacture

Steel sections cut and welded by hand, or aluminium profiles machine-cut. Lead times 6-8 weeks for steel, 3-4 weeks for aluminium.

03

Specialist install

Steel windows are heavy and require precision tolerances. Our team has 10+ years experience with W20 and MW40 systems.

FAQs

Common questions

Real steel windows use hot-rolled W20 or MW40 profiles — heavy, slim, authentic. Aluminium look-alikes are lighter, thermally-broken (better for energy), and 30-40% cheaper but visually similar from 2m+ away.
Modern thermally-broken aluminium look-alike systems achieve U-values around 1.4 W/m²K. Authentic single-glazed steel is poorly insulating and best used for internal screens or heritage projects where appearance dominates.
Yes — this is one of our most popular applications. Steel-look internal screens between kitchen and dining room, hallway and lounge, or as ensuite screens. We supply both glazed and partially-glazed versions.
