Choosing steel windows — thin-frame vs standard vs Crittall

There are three steel window families we fabricate most often. Thin-frame casement, standard casement, and Crittall-style.

Thin-frame is the modern choice for new builds. Standard casement is the value option. Crittall-style — with its industrial mullion grid — belongs on projects that specifically call for that look.
