Industrial style doors

Stylish & Durable Industrial Style Doors for Modern UK Living

New design additions to our steel portfolio that offer an industrial look - bespoke made to measure, with material thicknesses up to 5mm and FD30 fire resistance.

Window and door elements made from glazed slim steel or bronze profiles are ideal not only for renovated historical buildings, but also for top-of-the-line residential and commercial buildings. These timeless windows and doors are sure to make any residence stand out. Due to the unparalleled structural strength of these steel frames, they are also an excellent choice for modern buildings with tall and wide windows.

Steel is an excellent choice for manufacturing fire doors due to its reliable performance under fire conditions. When combined with suitable fire-resistant glass, it forms an effective defense against both fire and smoke.

A sturdy, yet
seamless frame

Each of the doors offered in our range not only feature bespoke door frames but also seamless integration which does not compromise it in terms of look. Our top of the line options offer up to 115 mm of steel door frame profile with reinforced lines and locks.

Reinforced hinges with added protection - we understand that even a seemingly small part of an internal door solution such as a door hinge has to be beefed up in order to offer the maximum amount of security. Our hinges are made from reinforced steel materials and are adjustable in height, and are easily customizable.

Crittall style doors - elegance and heritage

Crittall style doors owe their name to the British company “Crittall,” which pioneered this design in the early 20th century. Primarily crafted from hot rolled steel sections, these heritage bifold doors and hinged doors are renowned for their remarkable durability and robustness.

In modern adaptations, some designers have been employing steel look aluminium doors, including aluminium french doors, as a nod to the traditional Crittall aesthetic but with the lightweight benefits of aluminium frames. A defining feature of the Crittall style is its slender frame profile paired with vast glazing panels, offering a minimalist aesthetic while ensuring spaces benefit from maximum natural light.

Industrial style doors - ruggedness and versatility

Industrial style doors, also known as a heritage style door, draw inspiration from the raw, functional designs found in factories and warehouses. Their origin lies in the necessity for durable sliding doors in these heavy-duty environments.

Over time, the rugged charm of these doors, including steel and aluminium french doors, transcended their utilitarian beginnings, finding a place in commercial and even residential settings, as both internal and external doors. Industrial doors boast a diverse range of materials, from galvanized steel to aluminium and wood.

Some of the popular choices in contemporary settings include steel or aluminium steel look doors which combine the ruggedness of steel designs with the lightweight and corrosion-resistant benefits of aluminium frames. Designs might be bifold, hinged, or double doors, with transparency levels ranging from mostly metal or wooden structures to larger integrated glass panels.

Why fire rating is so important for a set of internal doors

At Secure House, we ensure that every single one of our window and door solutions is designed with careful attention to detail, ensuring correct fire protection for a fire door. In the case of an accident, your set of doors or windows will be your main means of preventing the spread of fire to neighbouring rooms or the inside of the building, which can happen in minutes if not seconds, and can also act as a possible escape route.

Our windows and doors feature a reinforced steel frame with additional components such as cladding, seals and glazing, all aimed at providing the best possible level of protection. This lineup can be made to be FD30 fire regulations compliant.
