About

A new standard
for steel.

Standardised steel window and door designs in custom sizes — the premium of steel, made buildable.

Steel windows used to mean premium and slow and expensive. We kept the premium.

The old way
  • Every job drawn from scratch — slow, and priced like it.
  • Lead times nobody could promise. Quotes that drifted.
  • Out of reach for most of the homes it belonged in.
The Facada way
  • Standardised designs — the same tested detail, every time.
  • Predictable pricing from $5,000 + GST. Lead times we hold to.
  • Custom sizes, curated choices. The premium, made buildable.
01

Standardised, not off-the-shelf

The engineering is done once and refined. Every order is a standard pattern in a custom size — that’s what makes the price fair.

02

Honest about origin

Designed and engineered in Switzerland. Assembled and finished in New Zealand. We’re upfront about every step — no surprises.

03

Built to outlast the building

Authentic European profiles, four-stage corrosion protection, a 15-year durability line. Designed to be your last set of windows.

04

A more beautiful built environment

Putting fine steel lines within reach of more buildings — an end to thick, ordinary joinery wherever steel belongs instead.

Steel profile detail
Authentic profiles

Real Swiss steel.
Not an imitation.

Authentic Swiss profiles — not the thick imitations sold as steel-look. Engineered in Switzerland, finished and assembled in New Zealand to a single tested standard.

The thick sections sold as “steel-look” aren’t the same product. We use authentic European profiles, engineered to spec and held to one tested standard.

Better three
ways at once.

Technically

Three times stronger than aluminium. Thermally capable — often without a break. It won’t deform under heat or load, and it outlasts the building around it.

Aesthetically

Sightlines aluminium and timber can’t reach. Equally at home on a heritage villa or an ultra-modern form — the one frame that spans both.

To the touch

Weight you feel in the hand. A heavy steel door swings and settles with a quality nothing else matches. You notice it before you know why.

Lead times · plan ahead

Don’t wait. Plan ahead.

Steel joinery is complicated to make — every joint welded, ground and finished by hand. Bring us in early with your architect and the timeline takes care of itself. Specify it at the start, not the end.
