2023 is quickly approaching! Interior designers and other experts in the field are looking to the trends that their clients are looking forward to in the new year such as warm and bold colors, Art Deco, and curves.

One of the most popular trends in architecture and interior design is the use of steel and glass windows and doors. High-quality steel windows and doors not only offer endless design opportunities, but have other benefits such as energy efficiency and strength and durability.

Steel windows and doors are absolutely beautiful ways to add additional flair and modern design to your home or commercial space.

When shopping for steel windows and doors, two common terms you may come across are simulated divided lights (SDL) and true divided lights (TDL). What do these terms mean? And what’s the difference between true divided lights and simulated divided lights? Which should you choose for your project?

Steel has gained popularity in modern contemporary design in recent years. Interior designers and architects have increased their usage of steel windows and doors as part of their visions. Not only does steel offer narrow sightlines and a connection to the outdoors, but steel windows and doors also offer greater energy efficiency over other traditional materials such as wood.
