Why Steel systems?
Strong |
Steel is known for its exceptionally strong properties in comparison with other building materials. These properties allow for greater loads and for greater carrying capacities such as large weights of glass, for example.
|
Durable |
Jansen systems provide excellent insulation values (up to the passive house standard). Steel lasts for a very long time and is an enormously durable solution since being 100% recyclable. For this reason, it satisfies the cradle-to-cradle principle.
|
Fire resistant |
The melting temperature of steel is considerably higher than for other structures. Jansen offers you fire-safe compartmentalisation systems with European, Belgian and Dutch certification.
|
Slim appearance and maximum entry of light |
Because of steel’s strength, narrower profiles can be used. As steel makes larger glass dimensions possible, the entirety appears even slimmer. Proportionally more glass can be applied in the more slender profiles to allow the interior space to maximise daylight access. The more daylight, the less artificial light is required. This looks good on your energy bill.
|
Robust |
Welded structures are stronger and allow for larger dimensions. Steel windows and doors retain their stiffness and don’t sag with the passage of time. The strength of steel ensures a sturdy unit for years to come.
|
Long Lifespan |
Due to the stiffness of steel and the welded corner joints, steel windows and doors are stiffer and therefore offers more protection against vandalism and shocks in use-intensive environments. Steel windows and doors last longer for this reason. It is a long-term investment.
|
Soundproof |
Steel’s high density makes good acoustic insulation possible. Not only ideal for schools, music centres and public buildings, but also for homes. Steel provides the benefits of soundproofing whilst maintaining a very slimline design.
|
Low maintenance |
Steel is low-maintenance and does not require any special care. Our low maintenance systems allow for ease of use with minimal effort or upkeep.
|
Burglary resistant |
Steel is more burglary resistant than other materials. Jansen provides burglary-resistant applications for every profile system. A steel door can also be repaired after an attempted break-in.
|
Aesthetics and purity form |
Welded constructions reveal no visible joinery. This ensures stiff assemblies and a beautiful smooth surface. Due to the stiffness achieved by this, even narrower assemblies than one might of first thought possible can be implemented than one might first have thought. Steel is full of surprises!
