STEEL YOURSELF

What is it that is so incredibly beautiful about a steel window or door? Maybe it's the deceptive airiness of such heavy material, its thin grey lines allowing in all that light! I love their slim proportions and elegant lines as well as their ability to maximize an amazing view.

Let there be light...

  1. I love steel windows and doors. I've noticed them proliferating in Atlanta lately. Even on houses you wouldn't expect to see them on.

  2. Very expensive, though. I priced a single window unit at $1000-$1500 compared to top of the line wood clad at $700-$1000.

  3. I have them in my new kitchen (being built) - they are beautiful and will 'make' the space.
