At SteelView, our most rewarding projects begin with a conversation with an architect or designer. We understand that when you specify steel doors and windows, you're not ordering a product — you're defining how a space interacts with light, air, landscape, and the people who inhabit it. Our role is to execute your vision with the precision and craftsmanship it deserves.
Why Architects Specify SteelView
True Custom Fabrication
No stock sizes. No catalog limitations. Every door and window is engineered to your exact specifications — dimensions, profiles, finishes, glass, and hardware.
Slimmest Possible Sightlines
Our advanced steel engineering achieves frame profiles as narrow as 1 inch, maximizing glass area and minimizing visual obstruction.
Engineering Support
We provide detailed shop drawings, structural calculations, and thermal performance data to support your specifications and streamline approvals.
Design Flexibility
Pivot, hinged, bifold, accordion, fixed, operable — in virtually any size, configuration, or finish your design requires.
Our Process for Design Professionals
Specification Support
We work alongside your team from concept through construction documentation. Provide us with your design intent — opening sizes, performance requirements, aesthetic direction — and we'll develop detailed specifications, shop drawings, and material samples. We're available for design review meetings and can provide 3D models for visualization.
Technical Resources
Our team provides thermal performance data (U-factors, SHGC, condensation resistance), structural load calculations, and code compliance documentation. For projects with specific performance requirements — hurricane-rated, fire-rated, or acoustic — we engineer solutions that meet the specification without compromising the design.
Installation Coordination
We coordinate directly with your general contractor and other trades to ensure our products are properly received, stored, and installed. Our installation guides specify rough opening tolerances, anchoring requirements, and finish protection protocols. For complex installations, we provide on-site supervision.
Project Timeline
Custom steel doors and windows typically require 16 to 20 weeks from approved shop drawings to delivery. We recommend engaging our team during the design development phase to ensure adequate lead time and to address any design considerations early in the process.
Products for Architects
Our full product range is available for architectural specification, including steel French doors (interior and exterior), pivot entry systems, steel-framed windows (fixed and operable), bifold and accordion door systems, steel and glass partitions, wine room and specialty enclosures, and custom one-of-a-kind configurations.
Every product is available with thermally-broken frames, multiple glass options (insulated, Low-E, laminated, tempered, decorative), and a full palette of powder-coat finishes.
