Crittal Windows
Grand Openings distributes Crittall steel windows through our Texas locations.
Crittall Windows is a long established UK-based company that has been producing steel windows since
the late 19th century. The Homelight Range evolved in the 1920's, with the same sizes and styles still
being made today, but with much improved performance features such as galvanising, weatherstripping, inclusion
of double glazed units for added thermal performance and polyester powder coating finishes.
Steel windows cannot be replicated by aluminium, timber or plastic due to the fact that steel is a very strong material
and hence the frame of the window can be a lot more slender than the alternatives, thus maximising daylight by incorporating
greater areas of glazing.Security of the frame is most important when deterring break-ins and this again is down to the fact
that steel is three times stronger than aluminium. The Homelight range delivers secure windows and doors with options such as
locking handles and bolts as added security.
The Homelight Range is suitable for both refurbishment and new build, and is manufactured in standard metric sizes. The range
is wide and varied, and comprises four basic styles:
 |
Large pane types can be single or double glazed |  |
Small pane types - "Georgian" design - single glazed only |
 |
Horizontal pane types can be single or double glazed |  |
Reversible windows provide safe cleaning in multi-storey buildings |
Homelight windows feature two basic modular pane widths. 'H' Small Pane and 'N' casements are based on a
traditional 462mm (18¼ inch) glass width in a fixed pane. 'Z' range casements are based on a 582 mm (23 inch) glass width,
where a wider proportion is preferred.
