Steel continues to dominate in the home fashion stakes according to the Steel Window Association. Internal partitions and large steel windows can replace solid doors and walls in homes.

An association spokesman says that the most common use of steel windows in bathrooms is to create shower screens: “These can make an excellent replacement for shower curtains,” he says.

“The design also allows plenty of light to enter the shower space. Homeowners can choose to have just one screen outlining the shower tray on one side with an open front or opt for two screens to create a closed-in cubicle.

“Another great way to bring steel into the bathroom is to use screens as internal partitions or doors (as pictured) between bedrooms and en-suites. They offer a simple way to establish a seamless transition between the bedroom and bathroom, which lets plenty of light between the two rooms and can open up the bedroom to give the appearance of more space.”

Thermal efficiency

He continues “Alternatively, if no changes are needed to an existing bathroom scheme, bathroom windows can be replaced with frosted steel ones. The high energy performing W30 or W40 profiles are ideal for exterior windows as they trap heat in the building and the frosted panel means privacy is maintained. 

“Members of the Steel Window Association offer a UK wide service for the repair and replacement of various types of old metal windows, doors and screens, as well as being able to manufacture new fenestration which fully meets the building regulations.”
