Get in touch to find out how we can help on your project GET IN TOUCH Custom Steel Window And Door Hardware For Heritage Projects Heritage hardware and ironmongery often determine how original steel windows and doors look, feel and operate. Handles, stays, latches, hinges, catches and closing hardware all need to suit the age of the building, the condition of the joinery and the way the opening is used today. For older commercial, civic and architectural buildings, we can help identify whether existing parts can be restored, replaced, remade or adapted as part of a wider steel window refurbishment. Where new hardware is needed, it can be developed to work with custom steel windows and doors or detailed to complement architectural steel windows and doors without losing the character of the original design. Frequently Asked Questions: Hardware And Ironmongery For Steel Windows And Doors Can Original Steel Window Hardware Be Restored? Yes, in many cases original steel window hardware can be restored if it is still structurally sound. This may include cleaning, easing, repairing, refinishing or reusing handles, stays, latches and catches so the window keeps its original character while operating properly. What Types Of Hardware Can Be Reproduced? Common reproduction items include window handles, latches, stays, catches, hinges, door pulls, escutcheons and other small ironmongery components. Larger or unusual pieces can also be considered, depending on the condition of the original part and the level of detail required. Can You Match Existing Heritage Door And Window Hardware? Yes. If a building has existing hardware that needs to be matched, we can assess the original item, its shape, size, fixing points and finish. This helps determine whether it can be repaired, replicated or remade to suit the surrounding steel window or door system. Do You Work With Art Deco Hardware? Yes. Art Deco hardware is a common part of older steel window and door refurbishment work. Matching the form, proportion and finish of these pieces matters because the hardware is often a visible part of the building’s architectural character. Is Reproduction Hardware Better Than Using Modern Standard Hardware? For heritage projects, reproduction hardware is often the better option when standard modern hardware would look out of place or fail to fit the existing steel joinery correctly. The right choice depends on the building, the required function, the condition of the original parts and the heritage value of the detail. Can Hardware Be Updated Without Losing The Heritage Look? Yes, where the existing steel joinery allows it. Some projects need hardware that looks consistent with the original design but functions better for current use. This may include smoother operation, improved durability or a more reliable closing action while keeping the visual style appropriate to the building. Who Uses Heritage Hardware And Ironmongery Services? These services are often used by building owners, architects, heritage consultants, contractors and project managers working on older commercial buildings, civic buildings, railway buildings, schools, churches, apartments and architecturally significant properties with original steel windows or doors.

Understand fire ratings for steel windows and doors. Learn how architects and fire engineers determine ratings to meet NZ building code requirements. Up WHAT IS A FIRE RATING FOR WINDOWS & DOORS? Determining Fire Ratings: Collaboreations with Architects and Fire Engineers is Essential Steelguard is widely recognised for its superior craftsmanship and dedication to delivering top-tier fire-rated windows. However, despite its expertise in steel joinery and window production, the company is not equipped to determine the specific fire rating required for a client’s project. Here’s why: • Expertise in Architecture and Building Regulations The accurate determination of a building’s fire rating hinges on a multitude of factors, including its design, location, usage, and proximity to other structures. This complex process demands a deep understanding of building codes and architectural principles. Architects and fire engineers possess the necessary expertise to collaborate with local building consent authorities and determine the appropriate fire rating. • Consideration of Local and Regional Factors Fire ratings are subject to local and regional building regulations, which can vary significantly. These regulations factor in elements such as local climate conditions, wildfire risks, and building density. Therefore, what may be suitable for one region may not be applicable to another. Seasoned architects are well-versed in navigating these regional discrepancies. • Tailoring Solutions for Each Project Each project undertaken by Steelguard is unique, presenting its own set of requirements, challenges, and objectives. The fire rating necessary for each project may vary depending on the building’s design and intended use. Such customised solutions require the expertise of professionals who are adept at designing and planning buildings. While Steelguard cannot determine the precise fire rating required for your project, the company collaborates closely with architects, builders, and homeowners to ensure that the fire-rated windows it produces meet the requisite standards. This collaborative approach ensures the delivery of products that not only boast aesthetic appeal and functionality but also adhere to the highest safety standards.

Radiation shielding windows and doors for medical, industrial & scientific facilities. X-ray, optical & microwave protection solutions by Steelguard. Up RADIATION SHIELDING WINDOWS & DOORS Radiation windows refer to specific ranges of wavelengths or frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum through which certain types of radiation can pass with minimal absorption. These windows allow scientists and researchers to observe and measure radiation in various applications, including astronomy, spectroscopy, and medical imaging. X-Ray Windows In X-ray imaging and analysis, materials that are transparent to X-rays are used as windows to allow the X-rays to pass through. Materials like beryllium and certain polymers are often employed for X-ray windows. X-ray windows are crucial in medical imaging, industrial inspection, and scientific research, where X-rays need to be directed or detected. Optical Windows In the field of optics, an optical window is a range of wavelengths in which a material is transparent. Materials used for optical windows are selected based on their ability to transmit specific wavelengths of light without significant absorption. For example, in visible light, glass is often used as an optical window. It allows light to pass through, making it suitable for lenses and optical instruments. Infrared Windows Infrared radiation windows are materials that are transparent to specific infrared wavelengths. Different materials are chosen based on the application’s desired range of infrared radiation. For example, some types of glass and certain crystalline materials are transparent in the infrared spectrum, allowing for the creation of infrared optics.

Custom steel window and door design with CAD, BIM & FEA. Steelguard's NZ engineering team delivers precise 3D modelling from concept through to installation. Up DESIGN & ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR STEEL WINDOWS Steelguard employees provide a high-quality CAD service using SOLIDWORKS and in-house CAD personnel. For our customers, this means greater confidence, less hassle, and a team that understands the needs of a job from design through to installation. With our “designer assist” service, we can provide standard detailing to help you better integrate our window and door systems into your drawings, along with performance and specification data. Steelguard has developed a comprehensive SolidWorks library, therefore reducing our drawing time and making integration into BIM design projects seamless. Autocad AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) software used by architects and engineers to create highly accurate 2D drawings and 3D models of buildings and components. It allows users to build up a digital version of a structure layer by layer, defining exact dimensions, materials, and construction details. The 3D modelling capability helps visualise how elements fit together in real space , while the 2D drawings extracted from the model are used for documentation and construction. In architectural workflows, AutoCAD serves as the central design tool that coordinates information across disciplines such as architecture, structural engineering, and services engineering. Changes made in the model update across drawings to help maintain accuracy throughout the design process. AutoCAD DWG files are the industry standard for architectural drawings; ultimately, our 3D designs need to be translated for approvals, etc. You will normally be presented with a PDF containing the critical information you need to sign off on for the design prior to fabrication. SolidWorks SolidWorks dramatically improves the way we develop and manufacture window and door products. As the foundation for the entire SOLIDWORKS suite of product development solutions, SOLIDWORKS CAD packages cover design, simulation, cost estimation, manufacturability checks, CAM, sustainable design, and data management. Our new SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD licenses include a subscription with Cloud Services, which connects SOLIDWORKS CAD data to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, providing new capabilities to share and mark up 3D designs with anyone, a place to securely store and access designs, and the ability to formally manage design changes. We are able to leverage the benefits of building your new windows and doors in 3D before we even cut a piece of steel. This is valuable as it allows us to ensure that complex geometries like folding and sliding doors work, and we can control gaps and tolerances. We also have a BIM Level 2 qualified professional to assist with the design process. FEA - Finite Element Analysis When required, our scope can include the full structural design and include PS1, as well as any project-specific fire test or assessments that may be required. This service will be a fee that will be added to the project. Please contact us with details of your requirements. We can also use ECI (early contractor Involvement) to maximise the return and value of your new windows and doors. Sam • CAD Draftsman Sam has been part of the Steelguard team since 2018 , bringing over 10 years of experience in technical design and manufacturing. As our in-house designer, he plays a key role in bridging ideas and production, coordinating technical drawings between architects, engineers, and the manufacturing team.
