Steel vs Aluminium Framed Glazing

Frames and Sightlines

Steels main advantage over aluminium would be its strength, as steel is 3 times stronger than aluminium it tends to be able to offer smaller frames. Slim frames help to create a light-filled living space, offering panoramic views and inviting a vast amount of natural light into the property.

That being said, the use of steel would make the frames and doors heavier in comparison to an aluminium frame requiring more effort to open and close.

Sieger has engineered aluminium-framed glazing with some of the most minimal sightlines on the market. Our slim framed sliding doors have sightlines as small as 20mm and the Sieger Lux Bifold Door is the slimmest aluminium framed bifold door available on the market.

To achieve steel look aluminium windows and doors, glazing bars are used to mimic the industrial style. True glazing bars have a sightline of 48mm and applied bars can be as slim as 25mm.

Sieger&#;s Legacy Range is specifically designed to have the aesthetic of traditional steel glazing systems but without the disadvantages. As aluminium glazing is now able to offer ultra slim sightlines but with the benefit of being more cost effective and lightweight, it is often chosen over steel.

Our Legacy Range includes a casement door, a bifold door, a conservation rooflight and a range of window designs. All of these systems are flexible in design and can be manufactured to suit specific requirements. 

The aluminium manufacturing process is more simplified and refined. The frames are crimped and have mechanical joints allowing them to be easily slotted and fixed together in comparison to steel.

Aluminium is extremely robust and flexible allowing it to be easily framed to hold the glass with only a small amount of material on show.
