The diagrammatic simplicity of steel windows and the articulation given to a façade by their juxtaposition in composite assemblies, make a powerful appeal in contemporary architecture. Their slender lines appear to lose weight and give lightness to the frames, emphasising the transparency of a façade. Their elegance is difficult to match in the bulky profiles of alternative materials. Their characteristic strength provides a robust durability to survive not only hard knocks but also changing fashions: they outlive trends, they have become a concept which lasts. Steel windows give shape to an opening, being readily curved or angled, and can be divided into panes with integral slim tee glazing bars, which permit the sympathetic replacement of traditional metal windows in Jacobean mansions, Victoria warehouses and grand Edwardian civic buildings. They are synonymous with security: steel is the first choice when keeping intruders out, and – once they are caught – for keeping them in. For safety in fire, steel provides tried and tested solutions for the design of glazed screens, windows and doors offering fire resistance for 30, 60 and 90 minutes with respect to integrity only or integrity and insulation.
