NFRC Rated Doors and Windows
At The French Steel Company, we take pride in delivering architectural excellence through our NFRC-rated doors and windows. Our steel systems combine timeless aesthetics with modern energy efficiency, meeting the rigorous standards set by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). Whether you’re designing a luxury home or a cutting-edge commercial project, our steel windows and doors provide the durability, beauty, and compliance your project demands.
What Are NFRC-Rated Doors and Windows?
NFRC ratings offer consumers a reliable way to compare the energy performance of windows and doors. Each of our steel products undergoes certified testing to measure thermal performance, solar heat gain, and visible light transmittance. Our NFRC-rated doors and windows are engineered to meet energy codes across the country, especially those in demanding markets like California.
Durability That Lasts Decades
Our steel options are built to withstand the test of time. Unlike wood or aluminum, steel offers exceptional strength, resistance to warping, and minimal maintenance over decades. The French Steel Company’s custom-built frames are galvanized, primed, and finished to endure harsh weather conditions without sacrificing style. With our doors and windows, you’re not just choosing beauty, you’re investing in long-term performance.
Seamless, Professional Installation
We offer end-to-end support from design to installation. Our expert teams ensure a precise fit and a clean, efficient installation every time. Whether it’s a new build or a historic renovation, our installers work closely with architects, builders, and homeowners to preserve the integrity of your space while ensuring our NFRC-rated doors and windows perform at their peak.
Ideal Applications for Steel Windows and Doors
Steel doors and windows elevate a wide range of architectural styles. Best use cases include:
Modern and Minimalist Homes – Thin sightlines, expansive glass, and sleek frames define contemporary spaces.
Historic Restorations – Steel mimics original materials while delivering modern performance.
Luxury Commercial Projects – From boutique hotels to high-end retail spaces, steel offers unmatched visual impact and security.
Indoor/Outdoor Living – Pivot, bi-fold, and sliding options create seamless transitions between interiors and exteriors.
California Code Compliance
California has some of the most stringent building codes in the U.S., particularly around energy efficiency. Our NFRC-rated doors and windows comply with California’s Title 24 energy standards, including requirements for U-factor, SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient), and air infiltration. With The French Steel Company, you’re not just meeting code—you’re exceeding expectations for design and performance.
