1. Slim Profiles, Huge Impact

Thin steel profiles offer huge benefits over traditional materials like wood or aluminum. The strength of the steel permits thin frames to support wide glass panels, allowing architects to create larger openings and unobstructed views. This advantage is particularly important in luxury homes and high-end commercial spaces where visual clarity and minimalism are important.

2. Historic Charm + Modern Innovation

Iron Lion’s EURO-LITE Series uses hot-rolled Swiss profile steel. These are the same steel profiles used by Hope’s Windows of New York and Crittall of England. The versatility of this design layout makes them ideal for new construction as well as renovation projects. The SLIM-LITE Series utilizes insulated tubular steel to offer sleek designs at a more accessible cost.

3. Durability and Sustainability

As noted by the Steel Window Institute, steel remains one of the most durable and versatile materials for custom doors and windows in today’s high-end construction. Our thin steel frames also contribute to longevity. Builders and architects appreciate the structural stability of this steel, reducing maintenance and replacement needs over time. Steel has unmatched durability, extending the lifespan of our doors, windows, and customs.
