Why Cold-Rolled Steel Works So Well for Historic Restorations

Cold-rolled steel is slim, durable, and clean-lined, which makes it the ideal material for replicating classic architectural steel windows from the early 20th century.

It blends into historic facades like it was always there.

But it’s far tougher.

With Flex, we keep the look—and raise the bar.

Preserve Sightlines Without Sacrificing Performance

Sightlines are sacred in heritage work.

That’s why the Flex Series offers slim profiles that honor the original design.

But behind that elegance?

You’ll find:

  • High thermal insulation
  • Excellent acoustic ratings
  • Large glazed openings
  • Dual weather-stripping

Your building looks old—but feels new.

Made to Order, Just Like the Original

Manufacturing Flex cold-rolled steel windows

Every window is made in our New York facility, custom to your specs.

We match profiles, finishes, colors—even operation style.

Whether it’s a double casement, fixed frame, or oversized door, we engineer each piece to maintain the look and feel of the original.

And we’ll work with your architects and preservation experts every step of the way.

The Look of Yesterday, The Technology of Tomorrow

We’ve combined traditional style with 21st-century tech:

  • Zinc-rich epoxy primers
  • Electrostatically applied powder coatings
  • Optional monolithic glazing
  • Custom color matches, including non-metallic options

This is how you make a statement in a historic neighborhood—without drawing the wrong kind of attention.
