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.

Thin steel frames not only does the new door look effortlessly stylish, but it is also incredibly secure with security glazing and state-of-the-art entry system.

  • 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.
  • Easily customizable door frame – both security and style matter when it comes to finding the best interior or frontal door security solution. Our door frames allow the integrity to be easily customized to include glazed windows which carry the same security features and create a distinct style.
  • Industry standard fire proofing and thermal insulation – all of our industrial doors include category FD30 fire protection which ensures up to 30 minutes of fire integrity. Combine that with a 60mm layer of Rockwool thermal insulation and you have yourself an even better product.

Design

Typified by a very slim profile frame that forms a grid-like finish for doors, windows and room dividers, our steel fire proof products will not only open up a space but totally transform it into something completely contemporary with bundles of natural light. They’re ideal for use across a wide variety of buildings too, from refurbishments and new build homes to listed buildings and properties located in conservation areas.

Having such a narrow and sleek steel frame, the doors and windows allow an abundance of light into any home or property. As a result, they can really open up any area in a home or residential building to give extra space and a real feeling or openness.

Large, open plan rooms can be skillfully partitioned to delineate specific areas and highlight a room’s full potential. They also hint at an industrial look with modern finishes which will complement any home, old or new. Smaller rooms can be opened up if taking down a wall isn’t an option to create a new sense of space with more light and height.
Highly versatile and robust, yet delicate and minimalist, our fire proof internal heritage style doors made from steel and room dividers will allow you the flexibility to create your own indoor spaces for your bespoke requirements and create fluid links to other rooms too.

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.

However, 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.
This combination not only offers a minimalist aesthetic but also ensures that spaces benefit from maximum natural light, enhancing indoor-outdoor cohesion. Given their specialized design and the precision needed for their glass panels, installation can be a meticulous process.

On the cost spectrum, the unique design, premium materials, and specialized installation mean that these doors, especially the french double doors variant, often come with a higher price tag. However, many homeowners and designers believe the investment is justified by the doors’ long-term value and timeless appeal.

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.

Their designs might incorporate a mix of these materials, creating varied textures that evoke a more rustic or vintage ambiance. Some might be designed as bifold doors or even hinged doors, while others might favor the double doors configuration. The transparency level can differ, with some doors focusing more on the metal or wooden structures and others integrating larger glass panels. Installation processes and costs for industrial style doors can vary significantly, given the wide spectrum of design complexities and material choices.

In essence, while both Crittall and industrial style doors offer a blend of form and function, the former is characterized by its minimalist elegance and the latter by its rugged versatility. The choice between the two often boils down to individual design preferences and the specific ambiance one wishes to create in a space.

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

Not everyone pays attention to the manufacturing and installation process as well as the materials that door contractors use in their product, even though, we reckon, it should be one of the most important points when considering your security door solution.

At Secure House, we ensure that every single one of our window and door solutions offered are designed with careful attention to detail, ensuring not only proper, but more importantly – 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 your neighbouring rooms or the inside of the building overall, 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 as well glazing all aimed at providing you with the best possible level of protection. This new lineup can be made to be FD30 fire regulations compliant.
