What sets our heritage steel doors apart in Hemel Hempstead.
Slim T-Bar Muntins
18mm powder-coated aluminium bars in a 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 grid — the authentic Crittall sightline in a modern thermally-broken frame.
Thermally-Broken Profile
Polyamide thermal break inside the frame lets us hit 1.4 W/m²K on a fully glazed door — U-values the original steel Crittall could never approach.
Matte-Black Finish
Qualicoat Class 2 powder coat in matte anthracite or true jet black — colour-fast for 20 years, no rust, no peeling, no repainting.
Full-Height Side-Lights
Matched side lights and transoms transform a single door into a full-height glazed threshold, with the entire elevation reading as one continuous grid.
PAS 24 Concealed Multi-Point
Multi-point hook locking concealed within the slim frame — the security specification the aesthetic often skips.
What Hemel Hempstead homeowners tell us.
"A proper trade. Every promise kept — from the timescale to the finish. We've since recommended them to three neighbours."
"Slim aluminium sashes in anthracite grey — exactly the balance of period feel and modern lines we wanted. Conservation area approved."
"Punctual, quiet, tidy, honest. Three years on the front door still closes with that satisfying thud, and the paint finish hasn't moved."

- Do you install heritage steel doors in Hemel Hempstead?
- Yes — South East Windows & Doors installs heritage steel doors across Hemel Hempstead (HP1 – HP3) and the wider Hertfordshire area every week. Every project is surveyed, manufactured and installed by our own teams.

- Do you handle conservation-area planning in Hemel Hempstead?
- The A1(M) and A41 corridor means Hertfordshire homeowners consistently benefit from acoustic-rated glazing. We spec triple-glazed and laminated options that transform a home's soundscape. We prepare planning-ready drawings with matched sightlines, glazing-bar depths and hardware for Hemel Hempstead projects that require them.
- What guarantee covers heritage steel doors in Hemel Hempstead?
- Every heritage steel doors installation in Hemel Hempstead is covered by our insurance-backed 10-year guarantee — parts, labour and finish. Aftercare is direct with the installing team, not a call centre.
- Can I see recent heritage steel doors work near Hemel Hempstead?
- Yes — we can share recent heritage steel doors case studies from across Hertfordshire, including projects in Old Town, Boxmoor and neighbouring towns. Ask your surveyor at the on-site visit.
- Is a steel-look door actually made of steel?
- No — ours are thermally-broken aluminium in a heritage profile with authentic 18mm T-bar muntins. Real Crittall steel doors rust, cold-bridge and can't meet modern U-value requirements. Aluminium gets you the same sightline without the drawbacks.
- Can I have real Crittall steel doors?
- We can supply and fit genuine Crittall Fendor steel systems where a listed building or specific brief demands them — but they have poorer U-values, and need repainting every 5–7 years. We advise honestly on the trade-off.
- How authentic does the aluminium look?
- At three paces you would not tell them apart from steel. The 18mm muntins, matte-black finish and grid proportions are drawn from measured Crittall drawings. Only if you tap the frame do you hear the difference.
