Specifications / Profile systems
Steel profiles
Two profiles.
One Steelos approach.
Artisan and Heritage offer different ways to resolve an architectural opening. Both are manufactured in the same factory, with the appropriate system determined by Steelos during design and quotation.
01 / Bespoke flexibility
Artisan Profile
Greater freedom in configuration, proportion and specialised architectural applications.
The flexible Steelos system for bespoke requirements, including pivot, sliding and bifold doors. Explore the existing Slimline and Performance details within Artisan.
Explore Artisan Profile ↗02 / Defined construction
Heritage Profile
A fixed-dimension galvanised steel system with a distinct architectural expression.
More standardised construction offers a more economical solution for suitable hinged and French doors, and fixed, casement and awning windows.

Different requirements.
Considered responses.
The distinction is in the construction and design scope. Heritage’s fixed dimensions and configuration limits are integral to the system. Artisan offers the flexibility needed for broader architectural requirements.

04 / Design & quotation
Your design intent.
Our technical guidance.
You do not need to specify a profile when enquiring. Share the project and the expression you want to achieve. Steelos determines the appropriate system during design and quotation; a design that visually suits Heritage may still require Artisan because of its size, configuration or technical requirements.
