One piece of
real steel.
You don't need a house full of steel. One genuine steel door, one window, one screen — in an otherwise ordinary build — can carry the whole room.
Most of the house
can be ordinary.
Plenty of good builds run standard aluminium joinery everywhere it doesn't matter — and spend where it does. That's not a compromise; it's how a single piece of genuine steel usually arrives: one welded, hand-finished opening in the one wall everybody looks at, while the rest of the schedule stays sensible.
We'll be straight about the money, too. Steel costs significantly more than aluminium — each joint is welded, sanded and finished by hand, and the profiles are costly to make. That's exactly why a single piece makes sense: you get the real thing, in the opening where it earns its keep, without pricing steel across a whole elevation. We don't publish dollar figures against drawings; relative cost shows as a tier below, and a real range appears in the builder once your opening is fully specified.
One more honest note: this is made-to-measure joinery, not an off-the-shelf door. A single piece runs the same 10–18 weeks lead time as a full schedule, so bring it to us early — steel rewards the project that plans for it at the start.
The SF20 series — standardised sizes, single-glazed — is the most accessible way into real steel. Internal pieces skip the weather entirely; external pieces step up through the suite range.
Three ways
this usually goes.
One front door
The rest of the joinery is ordinary; the entry is not. A steel pivot or hinged door carries the whole elevation on its own.
One window
A fixed steel picture window over a bench or a stair, or a single casement in the right wall — one fine black line where it counts.
One internal screen
The gentlest way in: a single-glazed steel screen between kitchen and hall — no weather to fight, all of the line.
A one-piece project is
a small big project.
One door gets the same treatment as twenty-two: shop drawings before anything is cut, the full coating process, hardware fitted, glazed on site. The only thing that shrinks is the schedule.
Enquire
Send drawings, a schedule and your performance brief. We assess the project and come back to you on feasibility.
Approve shop drawings
We work through your plans, with up to one Auckland site measure where needed. Shop drawings issued for sign-off — up to three revision sets included. Nothing is cut until you approve.
Install
Installed by our crew to prepared openings, or supplied with a method statement and CAD details for your builder. Hardware fitted on site.
Tell us about the one opening. We'll take it from there.
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.
