In many places in the United Kingdom, we can see many historic and period properties that were in ruins before \u2013 but have now regained their former splendour and magnificence \u2013 all because of commitment, hard work, dedication, and patience. Don’t get me wrong \u2013 restoring an older property is hardly work for the uninitiated \u2013 but if you have the time to focus on a restoration project and do it, it’s definitely worth it. And you don’t have to do everything \u2013 you can begin by restoring your old steel windows first! Restoration is much better than replacement in many ways, but even more so with windows made of steel. So why is it better to restore instead of replace? Here are the many reasons why it’s better to restore steel windows than replace them.<\/p>\n

Are they worth restoring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First \u2013 let’s answer the question on most people’s minds \u2013 are they worth restoring in the first place? The best answer to this is yes. Steel windows are not as common (and popular) as wood, but they still make up most period properties. For instance, many industrial buildings and properties from the 19th<\/sup> to the 20th<\/sup> century had them, and they became very popular in residential properties during the early to the middle of the 20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

Many designs and styles adopted steel windows, from Tudors to contemporary mid-century houses, and they will always remain a classic \u2013 a staple in our history. In addition, steel windows will always lend an elegant appeal to any building.<\/p>\n

Why it\u2019s worth restoring steel window <\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst restoring steel windows may be difficult, and it’s sometimes possible for them to appear out of place, there are still many reasons to save them instead. Following are a few reasons why:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They will last for a long time<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Even if steel windows rust, this doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t last. Remember, rust or corrosion can always be prevented and repaired, as confirmed by metal window restoration<\/a> professionals like Metwin. According to them, it is only with no maintenance that windows rust. Even when you provide minimal maintenance, they are not likely to rust \u2013 especially if they are coated with a rust-proof material.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. They provide security like no other <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The steel window comprises sashes and frames of solid steel \u2013 steel that is rolled and immensely strong. This makes them doubly secure, and everyone knows that they surpass the security of wooden windows. Security is even more of an issue nowadays when everyone looks for ways to enhance the security of their properties \u2013 and having windows that are resistant to burglars and highly secure is a definite plus.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. They are efficient <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Aside from being immensely secure and durable, steel windows are known for their efficiency. Yes, there are lots of stories of old, leaky, draughty windows \u2013 but it’s only because the owner did not properly maintain them. If you have a window that’s not closing and is loaded with paint, it doesn’t mean it will never be efficient. It’s all a matter of doing what needs to be done to make your windows as efficient as possible. In fact, in tests done by window preservation specialists, they found that steel windows are the most efficient windows of all. The efficiency is provided by its interlocking style and design that provide air sealing when closed.<\/p>\n

        There are also options for weatherstripping and replacing the window’s glass with Low-E and laminated options.<\/p>\n
