High-strength, reinforced steel windows and doors by Steelguard. Laminated glass, welded steel frames & ballistic options for NZ homes and commercial buildings. Up SECURITY STEEL WINDOWS & DOORS NZ The history of security windows is intertwined with the evolution of building security and safety measures. The need for windows that provide enhanced protection against forced entry, vandalism, detention cell integrity, and other security threats has driven innovations in materials and design. Here's an overview of the history of security windows. Springhill Prison, Waikato Mason Clinic, Pt Chevalier Whangarei Police Station, Whangarei Paremoremo Prison, Albany Security Windows and Doors 21st Century Advanced Materials: The 21st century has seen the use of advanced materials in security windows, including polycarbonate, which is known for its strength and impact resistance. Ballistic Resistance: Security windows designed to resist ballistic threats have become more prevalent, particularly in high-risk environments such as government buildings and financial institutions. Electronic Security Integration: Modern security windows may also incorporate electronic security features, such as sensors and alarms, to enhance overall building security. Energy Efficiency: In addition to security considerations, there is an increasing emphasis on energy efficiency in building design. Some security windows are designed to provide both security and energy-saving benefits. Today, security windows come in various forms to meet specific needs, including laminated glass, bullet-resistant glass, impact-resistant glass, and more. They are used in a wide range of applications, from residential properties to commercial and government buildings. The evolution of security windows reflects the ongoing efforts to balance architectural aesthetics with the need for enhanced protection and safety in diverse environments. As security threats continue to evolve, so too will the technology and design of security windows to meet these challenges. Steel is very strong and a very cost effective material, therefore it is extensively used in the security area. Steelguard's security products are in almost all prisons in New Zealand and numerous police stations, court houses, mental health facilities, and other buildings which require high security eg. retail and datacenters. Tested and Approved Our security products are tested internally and in WSP labs. WSP helps test, engineer, and certify buildings and infrastructure projects, so you know that our security products are proven to perform in demanding real-world environments. We have done security work in many prisons across the country, including: Auckland Prison Auckland Central Remand Prison Auckland Women’s Prison Wiri Youth Justice Facility Spring Hill Corrections Facility Waikeria Prison Tongariro Prison Rimutaka Prison Arohata Prison Wellington Prison Christchurch Men’s Prison Otago Corrections Facility Milton Prison Northland Region Corrections Facility Department of Corrections – Multiple locations For security reasons, we choose not to provide too much detail on these projects, but please get in contact with us with any questions and enquiries.

GET IN TOUCH Featured Project IRON BANK BUILDING AUCKLAND CBD Frequently Asked Questions: Security Windows And Doors What Are Security Windows? Security windows are window systems designed to provide increased resistance against forced entry, vandalism, impact or unauthorised access. Depending on the project, this may involve steel frames, reinforced glazing, secure fixings, specialist hardware, window security bars or integrated steel protection systems. Are Window Security Bars Still Used In New Zealand? Yes, window security bars are still used in New Zealand where a visible physical barrier is suitable for the building. However, they are not the only option. Many projects now use integrated steel-framed security windows, reinforced glazing or custom steel systems where the security solution needs to sit more cleanly within the architecture. What Is The Difference Between Security Windows And Standard Windows? Standard windows are usually designed for weather protection, light, ventilation and everyday use. Security windows are designed with additional protection in mind, which may include stronger steel frames, secure glazing, tamper-resistant hardware, reinforced fixings or detailing that makes forced entry more difficult. Do You Manufacture Industrial Steel Security Doors? Yes. Steelguard manufactures industrial steel security doors for projects that require strength, durability and controlled access. These can be designed around the required size, hardware, glazing, cladding, locking arrangement and site conditions. Can Security Windows Still Look Architectural? Yes. Security windows do not always need to look heavy or institutional. With the right steel profile, glazing choice and detailing, high security windows can be made to suit architectural, civic, commercial and public-facing buildings while still providing a stronger level of protection than standard joinery. What Is Steel Security Cladding Used For? Steel security cladding can be used to strengthen or protect vulnerable areas of a door, wall, frame or opening. It is often considered where a project needs added resistance to impact, tampering, forced entry or harsh use. The best approach depends on the risk profile of the building and how the opening is expected to perform. Do Security Doors And Windows Need To Be Custom Made? For many commercial, institutional and high-security projects, yes. Openings, risk levels, hardware needs and building details can vary significantly, so a custom steel system is often the most practical way to achieve the required strength, fit and long-term performance.

Custom architectural steel windows and doors by Steelguard. Combining traditional craftsmanship & modern engineering for elegant steel joinery across NZ. Up ARCHITECTURAL STEEL WINDOWS & DOORS NZ The longer a window or door stays in use, the lower the environmental impact of the resources that went into creating it. Through our 'Built to Last' and 'Built to Repair' philosophies, as well as our Revive programme (our way of keeping used-but-usable windows in circulation), we hope to reduce demand for new low-cost windows and doors with shorter lifecycles and, in turn, reduce unnecessary waste. Steelworks, Mt Eden Holy Trinity Cathedral, Parnell Cook House, Ponsonby Davis House, Ōrākei Strong Welded Connections Modern steel windows date back to the 18th century and have seen significant developments in design, manufacturing processes, and architectural applications. Steelguard steel windows and doors can create the 'loft chic' look or timeless and elegant slim line windows, doors, and internal screens. Late 18th Century: Introduction of Rolled Steel Sections: In the late 18th century, advancements in steel production technologies led to the availability of rolled steel sections. This innovation laid the groundwork for the mass production of steel windows. Early 19th Century: Art Nouveau and Art Deco Influence: In the early 19th century, the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements influenced architectural styles. Steel windows became popular for their ability to accommodate intricate designs and large, unobstructed glass panels, which aligned with the aesthetic preferences of these movements. Industrial and Commercial Use: Steel windows gained popularity in industrial and commercial settings due to their strength, durability, and the ability to create expansive window openings. 1920s-1940s: Modernist Movement: The Modernist architectural movement, which emerged in the early 20th century, favoured clean lines, functional design, and the use of industrial materials. Steel windows were embraced by architects like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe during this period. Steel Casement Windows: The design of steel casement windows became prevalent. These windows featured a steel frame with hinged openings and were often used in both residential and commercial buildings. World War II Impact: During World War II, there were restrictions on the use of steel for non-essential purposes, affecting the production and use of steel windows. Post-War Period: After the war, there was a resurgence in the use of steel windows as economies recovered and construction boomed. Steel windows continued to be favoured for their sleek, modern appearance. Late 20th Century: Competition from Aluminum: In the latter half of the 20th century, aluminium windows gained popularity as a competitor to steel. Aluminum offered advantages such as lighter weight and resistance to corrosion. However, steel is 3x stronger, and therefore smaller steel sections can be used, providing better sight lines and larger glazed areas when compared to timber, aluminum, and plastics. Working with Steel is substantially slower and largely hand-fabricated, thus increasing the cost of the finished product. A Fusion of Traditional and Modern Artisan Skills 21st Century: Resurgence in Popularity: In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of steel windows, driven by a renewed interest in industrial and minimalist design aesthetics. Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: Modern manufacturing techniques, including precision engineering and finishes, have enhanced the performance and aesthetics of steel windows. Modern corrosion protection in the form of hot zinc when combined with epoxy paints mean that your steel windows will last for generations. Today, steel windows are celebrated for their timeless appeal, strength, and ability to complement a variety of architectural styles. Contemporary architects and homeowners often choose steel windows for their durability, design flexibility, and the ability to create large, elegant openings that allow abundant natural light into interior spaces.

For commercial, hospitality, civic, retail and high-end residential projects, our steel joinery can be custom made around the opening size, glazing requirements, finish, hardware and design intent. This allows architects and project teams to create refined entrances, internal screens, shopfronts, pivot doors, sliding doors and fixed steel window frames that feel integrated with the building rather than added later. Where performance requirements are more complex, our architectural steel windows and doors can also be considered alongside Jansen and Vetrotech steel systems for projects that need specialist profiles, glazing or tested system support. Frequently Asked Questions: Architectural Steel Windows And Doors What Are Architectural Steel Windows? Architectural steel windows are custom steel-framed window systems designed for projects where appearance, strength, proportion and long-term performance matter. They are often used to create slim sightlines, larger glazed areas, strong frame detailing and a distinctive steel finish. Why Do Architects Use Steel Windows And Doors? Architects often choose steel because it offers strength, clean detailing and design flexibility. Steel can support slim frame profiles, large glazed sections, custom shapes and strong welded connections, making it suitable for both contemporary architecture and projects with heritage or industrial design influences. Are Steel Windows Suitable For Commercial And Hospitality Projects? Yes. Steel windows and doors are well suited to restaurants, hotels, retail fit-outs, offices, public buildings and mixed-use developments. They can be used for shopfronts, internal partitions, entry doors, feature glazing, fixed screens and openings where durability and visual impact are both important. Can Architectural Steel Doors Be Custom Made? Yes. Architectural steel doors are all custom manufactured around the size, function, finish, hardware, glazing and access requirements of the project. This can include hinged doors, pivot doors, sliding doors, glazed steel doors and entry systems designed to suit the wider architectural intent. Do Steel Windows Need To Look Industrial? No. Steel windows can create an industrial or loft-style look, but they can also be refined, minimal, traditional or heritage-influenced. The final appearance depends on the profile, glazing layout, finish, hardware and surrounding building design. Can Steel Joinery Be Used Inside A Building? Yes. Steel joinery is often used internally for glazed partitions, office screens, restaurant divisions, stairwell glazing, feature doors and interior architectural details. Internal steel screens can help separate spaces while keeping light and visibility through the building. Are Architectural Steel Windows Made To Standard Sizes? Most architectural steel windows and doors are custom made rather than supplied in fixed standard sizes. This allows the system to suit the opening, project drawings, glazing requirements and desired proportions. Can Architectural Steel Windows Be Combined With Fire Or Security Requirements? Yes, some projects need architectural appearance as well as fire-rated or security performance. In these cases, the system needs to be selected carefully so the design intent, rating, glazing, hardware and installation requirements work together from the beginning.

Fire-rated steel windows and doors (30–60 min). Steelguard’s Jansen systems provide fire and smoke protection for NZ buildings. Up FIRE RATED WINDOWS & DOORS The history of fire-rated windows is closely tied to advancements in building safety and fire protection.

While these materials were not specifically designed for fire resistance, they laid the groundwork for developments in fire-rated windows. Following the great fire of London, in Boston, where whole city blocks were destroyed by fire, designers decided that fire separation between the buildings prevented the spread of fire, thus reducing the risk of these historical catastrophes. This design philosophy has evolved with modern materials such as fire glass, whereby today we can offer extremely good fire safety when building on or close to the boundary. Now we use engineered systems to divide buildings into "fire cells". 1930s-1940s Building Codes and Standards – The need for fire safety became more formalised with the establishment of building codes and standards. These regulations began to include requirements for fire-resistant building materials. 1950s-1960s Introduction of Fire-Rated Glass – During this period, the development of fire-rated glass became a crucial innovation. Manufacturers began producing glass that could withstand exposure to fire for a specified period without compromising its structural integrity. 1970s-1980s Advancements in Fire-Resistant Materials – The 1970s and 1980s saw advancements in fire-resistant materials, including those used in windows. Fire-rated windows with specific ratings, indicating their ability to withstand fire for a certain duration, became more widely available. 1990s-2000s Stringent Testing Standards – Fire-rated windows became subject to more stringent testing standards to ensure their performance in real fire scenarios. Various testing methods and classifications were established to categorise the fire resistance of windows based on factors such as integrity and insulation. 21st Century Innovations in Design – Advances in materials and manufacturing techniques have allowed for more aesthetically pleasing fire-rated window designs without compromising safety. This has been particularly important in architectural projects where both safety and design considerations are crucial. Intumescent Technology – The use of intumescent technology has become more prevalent. Intumescent materials expand when exposed to heat, creating a barrier that helps prevent the spread of fire. Global Standards – As construction practices have become more globalised, there has been an effort to standardise fire safety requirements for buildings, including the specifications for fire-rated windows. Today, fire-rated windows are an integral part of building design, especially in structures where fire safety is of paramount importance, such as hospitals, schools, and high-rise buildings. The evolution of fire-rated windows reflects a continuous commitment to improving building safety and mitigating the risks associated with fire incidents. As your trusted fire window partner, Steelguard's commitment to continuous development and improvement will ensure you have safe and dependable solutions to protect property and life.

For architects, contractors and building owners, these ratings are important because they affect product selection, glazing type, frame system, hardware, installation method and compliance documentation. As fire door manufacturers and steel window specialists in New Zealand , we work with each project’s required rating before recommending a suitable system, whether the brief calls for integrity only protection, smoke control, insulation performance or a higher level of fire resistance for public, commercial, industrial or specialist buildings. Frequently Asked Questions: Fire Rated Windows And Doors What Is The Difference Between Fire Rated Doors And Standard Steel Doors? Fire rated doors are designed and tested to resist fire for a defined period, depending on the required rating. A standard steel door may offer strength and durability, but it does not automatically provide certified fire resistance. The frame, glass, hardware, seals and installation method all need to work together as part of the tested fire rated system. Do You Manufacture Fire Rated Windows In New Zealand? Yes. We manufacture fire rated windows and doors in New Zealand for commercial, public, institutional, industrial and specialist architectural projects. Each system is selected around the required fire rating, opening size, glazing, door function, smoke control requirements and project specification. Can Fire Rated Windows Still Look Architectural? Yes. Fire rated windows can be designed with slim steel profiles, clean sightlines and glazed sections that suit modern architectural projects. The key is choosing a system that meets the required fire rating while still supporting the design intent, including visibility, natural light, circulation and visual consistency with the wider building. Who Decides What Fire Rating A Door Or Window Needs? The required fire rating is usually determined by the project’s fire report, architectural documentation, building consent requirements or the relevant building authority. We can advise on which systems may suit a required rating, but the final rating requirement should be confirmed by the client, architect, fire engineer or relevant local building consent authority. Do You Supply Fire Rated Doors For Projects Outside Auckland? Yes. While our factory is based in Auckland, we work with project teams across New Zealand. This can include fire rated doors and windows for projects in Christchurch, Wellington, Tauranga and other regions, depending on the project scope, specification, programme and installation requirements. Can Fire Rated Doors Include Glass? Yes. Fire rated doors can include fire rated glass where the selected system allows it. Glazed fire doors are often used where visibility, light transfer or design continuity is important, such as corridors, schools, hospitals, offices, public buildings and internal fire rated partitions. Do Fire Rated Doors Need Specialist Installation? Yes. Fire rated doors and windows should be installed correctly so the tested system can perform as intended. The frame, fixings, seals, glazing, hardware and surrounding construction all matter. Poor installation can compromise the performance of an otherwise suitable fire rated product.

Frequently asked questions about steel windows and doors. Learn about fire ratings, materials, thermal efficiency, maintenance and security from Steelguard NZ. STEEL WINDOWS & DOORS FAQS FAQs Steel & Material Size & Design Thermal & Water Glass & Glazing Finishes & Coating Durability Q: What are the differences between hot rolled and cold rolled steel? A: Hot rolled steel windows and doors are made from solid steel sections hot rolled from billet steel into shapes designed for frames and ventilators. Cold rolled steel windows and doors are made from hollow steel sections mechanically formed from flat sheets into specially designed profiles. Q: Do you use recycled materials to make steel windows and doors? A: Yes. Hot rolled steel windows and doors could be manufactured from steel sections made of recycled steel. Q: Is it true that aluminum glazing beads react poorly to steel? A: No. Paint finishes prevent any corrosive interaction between dissimilar metals. Q: How large can steel windows and doors be? A: Steel windows and doors are custom manufactured and can fill very large openings while maintaining narrow sightlines. Q: Can egress windows be made out of steel? A: Absolutely. Contact us for available designs. Q: What types of screens are available? A: Insect or security screens are available. Q: Are steel windows thermally efficient? A: Yes. Steel has five times the thermal resistance of aluminum and allows larger glass areas for improved U-values. Q: Are thermal breaks available? A: Yes, steel windows and doors are offered with or without thermal breaks. Q: What are the U-values? A: A U-value (or thermal transmittance) measures the rate of heat loss or gain through building elements. U-values vary by glass type, thickness, and configuration. Consult Steelguard for project-specific performance data. Q: What is condensation resistance (CR)? A: Condensation resistance (CR) is a measure of how well a window, door, or skylight resists water buildup on its interior surface. CR varies based on size, configuration, and glass type. Q: What types of glass can be used? A: Glass thicknesses from 3mm to 50mm can be accommodated, including laminated, leaded, and insulated glass. Q: How are steel windows glazed? A: Using glazing tape, wedges, setting blocks, custom beads, and sealant. Q: How easy is glass replacement? A: Glazing beads allow easy removal and replacement. Q: Why ship without glass? A: Field glazing is safer and more practical for large custom units. Q: What finish options are available? A: Options include electro-static-coat, galvanizing, enamels, polyurethane, and powder coating. Q: What is electro-static-coat? A: A process where charged paint bonds evenly to metal, forming a durable protective film. Q: How long does paint last? A: Typically 10–15 years with minimal maintenance. Q: How does steel compare to aluminum, wood, or vinyl? A: Steel offers superior strength, longevity, and structural performance compared to aluminum, wood, or vinyl. Its exceptional tensile strength allows for significantly slimmer profiles and larger expanses of glass without compromising integrity. Unlike wood, steel will not warp, crack, or rot over time, and unlike vinyl, it does not degrade from UV exposure or temperature fluctuations. Q: Can steel windows meet fall prevention requirements? A: Yes. Windows can be restricted to meet code and released for cleaning. Get in touch to find out how we can help on your project GET IN TOUCH

Our highly experienced team provides an end-to-end service, including project management, design, manufacture, and installation. Commercial Bay Why Choose Steel Windows?; Our Team; Environmental Policy; Quality & Craftsmanship Strength, slender lines, and durability are the characteristics of steel windows and doors. The strength of steel allows maximum glass sizes without the need for the bulky frames that are associated with alternative materials. In both fire & security situations, steel is the proven and tested answer. 30, 60, and more minutes for integrity or integrity and insulation can be provided. Environmental Policy The longer a window or door stays in use, the lower the environmental impact of the resources that went into creating it. Through our 'Built to Last' and 'Built to Repair' philosophies, as well as our Revive programme (our way of keeping used-but-usable windows in circulation), we hope to reduce demand for new low-cost windows and doors with shorter lifecycles and, in turn, reduce unnecessary waste. Steelguard actively recycles materials from the design & manufacture process. We have one of the largest collections of reclaimed steel windows and doors in the country, with literally 100’s of recyclable units available. We also recycle office waste wherever possible.
