1930's kinda semi industrial look but also used in homes from the period (Crittall were a major maufacturer and are still going) - relies on using steel to achieve the slim frames and glazing bars. Very popular again now - but not really "off the shelf" in the way upvc / aluminum / timber are . Crittall are still going, Fabco https://fabcosanctuary.com/ is another I get trade spam from. I haven't got to the bottom of how the steel isn't a cold bridge attracting condensation (as it always was). Thermally broken aluminum (or uPVC) does a better job but harder to achieve the slim frame / glazing bar look I think. See here re. getting the same look but with Alu. https://www.aluminiumtradesupply.co.uk/steel-replacement-windows-doors/need-know-steel-look-doors-aluminium/

Thank you! This is really helpful and useful. I'm following up the links you've suggested, but may need to be looking at UPVC/timber alternatives. Cheers
