What are the Benefits of Steel Doors (Crittall)?

Crittall steel doors are made from solid steel and available in a wide range of styles and standard and bespoke sizes, including bi-folding and sliding. They all benefit from superb security, excellent durability, longevity, ease of maintenance, and high thermal efficiency. Other benefits you can hope to enjoy include:

Steel doors are useful on multiple levels

Crittal steel building doors can be utilised in residential and commercial applications. Commercial uses might include buildings with high theft rates, malls, shops, gas stations, or any type of business that is in need of more secure entry doors. Residential applications may include homeowners that want to protect their loved ones from intruders, children at risk at daycare facilities, and those just seeking better locking entry points.

Steel doors offer protection

Crittall steel doors offer a great level of protection against burglars. They are heavy, strong, and often provide increased resistance to forced entry compared to other door types. This is because they are usually made from thick, high-quality steel. They can be customized to suit your specific installation requirements and are as strong as your imagination.

Steel doors are made to measure

Crittall steel doors are made to measure and are supplied with a full fitting kit. We use components on our door range that are made to measure and can be fitted directly into the existing opening with no additional work. This takes away the need for brickwork, plastering, and cutting that may have been required where other products are used.

Steel doors step up your security

Yes, steel doors offer exceptional security. They are sturdier than wood doors and offer superior burglary protection. With this added protection, you can rest assured that your home is safe from burglary and vandalism. Today’s steel entry doors even look more attractive than ever before, so they work well with a wide range of styles.

Sound and heat containment

Because of the thickness of steel which is usually .125 inches or higher, the doors help significantly reduce all outside sounds, including traffic, trains, and planes, etc., and significantly reduce outside temperatures in the summer months.

Available in a range of colors

Our range of steel doors is available in a huge choice of hues, finishes, and styles. We have all of the colors available so you can choose from over 100 door designs and color choices. We have a huge choice of internal and external colors, so you can find the right color to match your home perfectly. Our polycarbonate panels come in a multitude of colors, too, making it easy for your home to stand out from the crowd.

Crittall steel doors are high impact and will not oxidise like other materials. Being manufactured of a unique patent-protected material the door can be painted in any RAL colour to match your property. They do not require painting or maintenance for over 50 years. They also have a low thermal bridge rating, giving significant energy-saving benefits.

Signs That It’s Time to Replace Steel Door (Crittall)

Wondering whether it is time to replace your Crittall steel doors? Here are signs to look out for:

There’s Space Under or Around Your Doors

Your steel door is one of the most important parts of your home, creating a strong barrier against the elements. If you can fit your hand or a broomstick under or around your steel sliding door – your door may be worn out. The top of the door has pivot bearings that are in contact with steel tracks on either side of the door. Over time, these pivot bearings wear out and allow the top of the door to move up or down. If you see space under your door, it’s time to replace it. Contact our professional fitters for a free survey.

Your Front Door is Damaged

A front door is a highly visible part of your home that serves as a welcome to guests and an important security feature. Given its prominent location, it’s important to make sure that the door is in good condition and check for visible signs of damage so you can make repairs promptly. Damaged doors can be unsafe for the occupants, as gaps can be an easy entry point for burglars or intruders.

What are the possible signs that your door is damaged?

  • Rusting
  • Splitting and peeling
  • Squeaky hinges

The Lock on Your Front Door Is Not Locking Properly

What do I need to do to prepare my home for the replacement of my French doors?

Preparation is key to your success when replacing French doors. Should you choose to not replace the lintel and only change the doors and sidelights, you will need your lintel confirmed as load-bearing or non-load bearing by a structural engineer. If the lintel is not load-bearing, then it must be supported by posts located behind the brickwork around the opening – remember to leave clearance for this.

Some openings could already have posts supporting the lintel should you not wish to add more. You can contact our customer care team for some further advice on how to prepare your home for the replacement of your French doors.

Can I replace a Sliding Glass door with French doors?

To make everything hassle-free, contact Ace Glazing Brighton for your French door replacement.
