Steel Window Design crafts elegant steel windows and doors, seamlessly weaving together artistry, precision and innovation. As a leading Melbourne manufacturer, the brand’s distinctive hallmark lies in its unwavering dedication to excellence, setting new standards for design across all sectors of the Australian building and construction market.

Collaboration lies at the core of Steel Window Design’s philosophy, evident through its partnerships with esteemed architects and builders across Australia. This commitment is gracefully showcased in projects like Amess – the contemporary residential extension and renovation of an elegant Victorian double-storey terrace by Martino Leah in Melbourne’s inner north. Amess stands as a testament to Steel Window Design’s remarkable capacity to curate custom design statements within a home. It effortlessly demonstrates the transformative power of high-quality steel windows and doors, marked by narrow sightlines that allow an interior to be infused with an abundance of light. By seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces through steel-framed double doors and fixed windows, a harmonious connection between living and exterior realms is achieved. Notably, the entrance steel door acts as a striking bridge between the contemporary and heritage elements of Amess, underscoring the product’s exceptional ability to harmoniously blend different eras.

Anchored by its membership in the Australian Glass and Window Association, Steel Window Design ensures its frames meet rigorous Australian standards. Meticulous testing, spanning everything from water penetration to air infiltration, underpins the company’s commitment to superior craftsmanship.

Australia’s abundant resources shine through Steel Window Design’s products, with every steel window and door meticulously designed and crafted in Australia using locally sourced steel. This commitment not only emphasises its dedication to quality but also speaks to its role in supporting the local economy and environment, led by Director James Pridgeon who has guided the brand’s trajectory for nearly a decade. Under his leadership, Steel Window Design has fostered profound relationships with architects and builders, signifying a commitment to offering not just products but a holistic design experience.
