High quality steel window and door handles, fittings and accessories pictured from Steel Window Fittings.

Based near the historic town of Ironbridge in Shropshire, widely regarded as the birthplace of the industrial revolution,Steel Window Fittingsis a market leader in high quality steel window and door handles, fittings and accessories.

Steel windows, despite their strength, have historically not been very secure. They were often prone to weathering due to inadequate sealing between the sash and the frame. In addition, steel lines (or sash bars), while endowing these types of windows and doors with a lot of character, limited the types of mechanisms and fittings that could be added.

Steel Windows Fittings was founded to solve this issue, by enhancing the classic, industrial character of steel windows and doors with modern, secure mechanisms and fittings.

The company now offers high quality handles and fittings for both modern and heritage buildings and for virtually any application. It works with everyone from window and door manufacturers to architects, designers and restorers of commercial, public and private properties.

Recent prestigious projects include Bristol's iconicPithay Building,Bletchley Park(home of the Enigma code-breaking machine),Endymion Houseand, across the pond,Yale University'snew residential campus.
