Looking for steel windows in St Albans? S&K Glazing has been installing across Hertfordshire for over a decade. Steel windows — often called Crittall-style — combine the slimmest possible sightlines with industrial-aesthetic appeal.
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.
St Albans' Roman, medieval and Georgian heritage in AL1-AL4 means conservation-led glazing dominates our local work. Listed-building consents for properties around the cathedral, heritage timber sash restoration, and slim-profile heritage double glazing across the conservation areas keep our heritage team busy.
For heritage and listed-property work in St Albans, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Hertfordshire 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 AL1 and AL4 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for East conservation areas.
We help you choose between authentic hot-rolled steel (heaviest, most authentic) and modern aluminium look-alikes (lighter, thermally-broken, more affordable).
Steel sections cut and welded by hand, or aluminium profiles machine-cut. Lead times 6-8 weeks for steel, 3-4 weeks for aluminium.
Steel windows are heavy and require precision tolerances. Our team has 10+ years experience with W20 and MW40 systems.
