Suppliers of: Steel Windows, Steel Doors, Conservation Rooflights, glass doors, partitions, steel screens
Clement manufactures an innovative range of steel windows, steel doors and steel screens for both private residences and commercial projects.
We provide a complete service – from the provision of technical drawings through to manufacture, installation and after sales support - whether your project is a traditional restoration project, one involving Listed Buildings or Conservation Areas, or a new build.
Our previous work includes prestigious heritage projects across the UK and in the USA, including well known buildings such as Bonhams in London, Norwich City Hall and the Eldorado Building in Manhattan. We take pride in our reputation for premium products, excellent craftsmanship and industry expertise and we are delighted that so many of our customers return to us time and again because they know they cannot get a better window anywhere else.
We specialise in manufacturing new steel windows which look similar to original or existing heritage metal windows. Our hot rolled steel windows and doors are produced from 98% recycled steel source material and meet the latest performance requirements for insulation, weatherproofing and security. We also manufacture cold formed, thermally broken steel profile systems by Jansen. All of our windows are crafted to your bespoke design in our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 approved factory. With Clement Windows you can expect technologically advanced, yet low maintenance steel windows, which will last for many years.
Clement also supplies a selection of conservation rooflights, available from stock in either a tile or a slate profile. If a standard size does not meet your requirements, bespoke options are also available.

PRODUCTS
Steel Windows:
Clement steel windows are often specified as the preferred fenestration solution for buildings that are important, valuable or of high conservation value. We work in partnership with architects, conservation officers, main contractors and other building professionals to help produce specifications that are visually stunning and offer high technical performance while respecting and enhancing important heritage and conservation objectives.
Arrangements for Listed Buildings or those in Conservation Areas can replicate existing steel fenestration, while improving thermal performance and security. Specifications for new build projects make the most of steel´s strength to produce slender frames with elegant sight lines which are incomparable to other supposedly similar materials such as aluminium. Steel also enables us to produce highly secure window systems which feature multi point locking and where appropriate we can offer windows that achieve the BS 7950 security standard.
Steel Doors:
Clement manufacture a beautiful selection of internal steel doors available in various styles and colours. They include multi point locking or a traditional mortice lock which can be matched to the windows in the building or used as a unique stand alone feature.
Conservation Rooflights:
Clement Conservation Rooflights are modern replicas of Victorian originals and so versatile they can be used in any type of property. They are particularly suitable for Listed Buildings or heritage products and are regularly recommended by Architects and Conservation Officers.
We offer eight standard sizes with either a tile or slate profile to match the specific roof type ensuring a flush finish but our rooflights can also be tailored to bespoke requirements.
Glass Doors:
Clement Internal Glass Doors allow light to flood into a workspace area. Available a part of our internal product range or screens and partitions, our doors are widely specified in both commercial and domestic projects.
Steel Screens:
Internal metal and glass screens and doors will draw light into a partitioned space, flooding dark offices and boardrooms with natural daylight, while the acoustic features of the glass will mean that private meetings and discussions can still take place.
Steel Partitions:
The current trend for the industrial aesthetic shows no sign of diminishing and an internal metal screen is the perfect architectural feature to create the feel of a room within a room, a space that is simultaneously private yet part of the wider area. The strong steel sections can be engineered to any design, while the slim sections that are only possible with steel mean that the maximum possible area of glass is provided, allowing maximum solar gain and creating the illusion of extra space.

Thermally broken steel windows and doors manufactured by Clement
Clement Windows Group has manufactured new, thermally broken steel windows and steel doors for an office building in Central London.
The existing commercial premises at 22-23 Little Portland Street comprised ground, basement and four upper floors. Robson Warren Architects were briefed to design a scheme to improve the office facilities and services to enable the building to attract further tenants.
It was important that any proposals took account of the environmental sustainability of the works and their impact on the property which is located in the East Marylebone Conservation Area.
Clement manufactured bespoke steel windows and doors from the Jansen Janisol Arte 2 and Jansen Janisol HI ranges. The new windows and doors comprised thermally broken steel windows, thermally broken French doors and thermally broken, triple glazed lift and slide doors.
Peter Warren of Robson Warren Architects commented:
“The installation was completed to our satisfaction without any significant issues, and we would not hesitate to return to Clement Windows for enquiries about future steel-framed window projects.”
Clement manufactures slender Jansen steel profile window and doors which meet the highest requirements of thermal insulation, security and fire protection, as well as mechanical strength and longevity. Suitable for restoration work as well as new build projects, the slim frames can be fitted into all opening types. Steel doors manufactured from Jansen cold formed steel profiles are very resilient and therefore suitable for areas of high footfall.

At Clement we talk a lot about the versatility, durability and strength of steel.
Steel is versatile in a number of ways – it can be used for a wide range of applications, from white goods to cars to, of course, window frames; it can be fashioned into a myriad of shapes as evidenced by the different windows you can view on display in our Residential steel windows gallery and Commercial steel windows gallery, and, it can be very easily recycled and remanufactured.
Is steel sustainable?
Steel is one of the most recycled materials in construction. Indeed, new steel actually requires an element of recycled steel in its production process. The natural state of steel requires little maintenance and the process of steel recycling is very straightforward, making it one of the most sustainable window materials:
The steel gets picked up by magnets and melted down, meaning there are no complicated separating procedures to follow.
Waste from the manufacture of steel building products is easily collected and separated for recycling and on the construction site steel products generate very little waste.
Being so inherently strong, steel can be recycled infinitely without losing that innate strength and quality, giving it a high value as a secondary raw material.
At the end of its life cycle, a steel product can be recycled and made into new products that are of an equivalent standard to the original material.
Steel is traditionally made using either the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) or the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) method; however, while the BOF route can only accommodate 35% recycled steel, the EAF method can accommodate 100% recycled steel. In the UK, the infrastructure is not available to meet the demand for recycled content above 35% so steel is instead currently sourced from Europe.
Using eco-friendly steel at Clement Windows
Clement Windows Group is committed to all areas of sustainability.
We strive to minimise the impact of our business on the environment by creating sustainable products manufactured from recycled source material, eliminating waste and pollution, reducing energy consumption, recycling where possible, treating our employees fairly and partnering with other sustainable organisations.
Sustainable steel in our steel windows, doors, screens and conservation rooflights
The steel used in Clement’s hot rolled steel windows, steel doors and screens comes from Montanstahl in Switzerland and is made using the EAF method meaning there is a higher proportion of recycled steel.
Montanstahl is committed to sourcing its raw material at prestigious European mills that comply with high levels of recycling and where profiles in the form of hot rolled steel billets are manufactured with a very high amount of recycled scrap metal (typically around 98%). Scrap produced by Montanstahl as a manufacturer of steel profiles is sold back to a mill and then also used for recycling purposes.
Montanstahl’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED*) Statement asserts that:
Steel manufacturing processes require very little energy input and all stages are continuously monitored in terms of waste minimisation, reuse of materials, air and water.
Steel is considered a closed loop or self sustainable material in that it is 100% recyclable, substantially contributing to the conservation of natural resources.
No tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold or other raw materials purchased in or manufactured in conflict areas is used for the production of steel profiles.
No hazardous substances are present in the steel products and there is full compliance with the main regulations for environmental protection.
Shipments to customers are planned and scheduled. Departments are constantly engaged in the reduction of shipments’ environmental impact. The raw material supplier qualification process considers the aspect of carbon footprint reduction.
Uncoated steel profiles do not release volatile organic compounds or other fumes into the air.
It is also important to note that steel is a low maintenance material and hot dip galvanised, hot rolled type steel windows will usually last the lifetime of the building they are installed into. This means it will be a long time before they will need to be replaced and the whole steel window cycle will begin again.
Clement manufactures and installs Jansen systems. Jansen takes corporate responsibility to minimise emissions:
Steel is sourced from European suppliers
Smelting increasingly takes place in furnaces powered by green electricity and transport routes are kept to a minimum.
Currently, there is a minimum of 23% recycled steel in all Jansen series. It is possible the percentage is greater than this, but not all Jansen suppliers are able to give a breakdown of the mix.
Jansen is the only steel system manufacturer to offer Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for windows and doors which are verified by both the Institute for Building and Environment (IBD) and Aveco de Bondt, tested and verified by independent third parties.
Clement is also a partner to the AGC/Panasonic joint venture on FINEO. The materials used in the FINEO vacuum insulating glass are environmentally friendly, lead-free and 100% recyclable.
Recycled steel forms a sizeable proportion of the steel used to make Clement Conservation Rooflights too. This is currently being looked at with the intention of improving the overall proportion of recycled steel so that it is at similar levels to that of our other products.
