What sets Hope's apart from other custom steel window and door manufacturers...
Our Quality Speaks for Itself
Superior quality translates to superior value and lasting satisfaction. Hope’s steel and bronze doors and windows are universally praised for their strength, durability, and unparalleled aesthetic value. Further, the inherent material strength, manufacturing processes, and finishing techniques result in doors and windows that last and sustain their beauty for generations.
Exclusive Hot-Rolled Steel Profiles
Hope’s windows and doors begin with artisans that transform billets of solid steel or architectural bronze into a variety of slim, geometrically complex, and remarkably strong profiles. This transformation is achieved through hot-rolling, a process where the metal is heated to such an extreme temperature that it becomes malleable and is then shaped by passing, or rolling, through an array of precision tooling to its final shape.
While there are some basic hot-rolled steel sections available in the marketplace that are available to anyone, Hope’s profiles are exclusive to us. Each is custom designed with strength, purpose, and aesthetic in mind. With these precision-made profiles, Hope’s crafts the world’s finest windows and doors
Custom Choices at Every Phase of Design
Every Hope’s window and door is custom designed by you – the architect, designer, and homeowner – to achieve your specific aesthetic and performance criteria.
You choose the material – steel or bronze. You choose your frame profile, shape, size, and glass. You choose true divided lites, simulated divided lites, or large uninterrupted expanses. You choose fixed or operable windows, and you decide where and how your windows open and close. You choose the functionality of your doors – swing-in, swing-out, pivoting, lift-slide, or slide-fold. You choose your desired hardware – hinges, locks, handles, kick plates, and more – to ensure the longest-lasting and smoothest operation.
Whether new construction, retrofit, or historic preservation, designers incorporate Hope’s windows, skylights, and doors into every variety of architectural style.

Fusion Welding is a unique feature of Hope’s Windows. In this process, all frame and vent corners and muntin intersections are fused together using nearly two tons of pressure to form one continuous frame with seamless, waterproof corners. The slag that forms at welded joints is ground and sanded smooth until visually imperceptible.
Thermal Evolution™ technology is also exclusive to Hope’s Windows. Windows and doors equipped with Thermal Evolution™ technology feature fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) isolators. These isolators are precision machined to nest perfectly within Hope’s traditional solid, hot-rolled steel frame profiles where they are permanently bonded.
