A focus on SWA member – Govette Windows

Based in South Godstone, Surrey, Govette Windows has been manufacturing steel windows, doors (and more) from its factory for almost 30 years. The SWA member supplies both domestic and commercial customers right across the South-East region, covering Greater London and the surrounding counties.

In addition to providing steel windows and doors, the company also manufactures a huge range of steel internal partitions, steel fire-rated doors and door screens, steel sliding doors, steel shaped windows and doors.

Govette offers a complete service, from initial on-site consultation, design and survey right through to manufacture, delivery and installation. All its products are purpose-built, so can be made to match existing windows and doors or to fit a unique design.

Everything the company makes is designed to meet all the necessary British Standard requirements.

Domestic windows

For domestic customers, the company offers:

– The BFRC ‘B’ energy-rated ‘Parliament’ range of steel windows and doors which are designed to mimic customers’ original fenestration

– SMW (Standard Metal Window) sections. The backbone of domestic steel windows for decades and mainly used in conservation or historic buildings

Commercial windows

For commercial customers, Govette offers steel windows, screens and doors in three profiles:

– SMW (Standard Metal Window) sections.
– W20 steel window and door sections. These are highly versatile and are used in both domestic and commercial applications
– W40 steel window and door sections. Only available to Steel Window Association members, these are slightly thicker, can be triple glazed to improve thermal properties and can be manufactured in larger sizes

Interior partitions/doors

Made to order, all the company’s steel partition screens are very slim and strong. They enable the creation of large indoor glazed areas which allow light to penetrate the building.
