We feature steel windows and doors so frequently on Remodelista that we shouldn’t be surprised at the number of sourcing requests we receive about them. “Where can I find steel windows and doors?” our readers ask, with surprising regularity. In the interest of doing our civic duty, we’ve rounded up some sourcing ideas.
Steel windows and doors have many advantages: Due to the material’s strength, steel windows have very slender sight lines, they work well in both traditional and modern houses, and they require minimal upkeep compared with wood windows and doors. For more, read our primer: Remodeling 101: Steel Factory-Style Windows and Doors.
