Steel Windows & Doors

The metal frames, along with the sloped glazing bead, gives the frames of the steel windows and doors of La Hacienda a historical look. The windows and doors were purchased from Bliss Nor-Am, a premiere steel window and door manufacturing company based in Toronto, Canada. They get hot rolled steel from Switzerland and custom make every frame in their plant behind their office building. Once the frames are built, they are put through a hot dipped galvanizing process, which prevents the steel from deteriorating. Once the galvanized coating is applied, the frames are painted and the paint is baked onto the frames.
