Elevating Home Design Across Marin, Napa & Sonoma Counties
Homeowners in Marin, Napa, and Sonoma County are embracing bold, luxurious design in their living spaces. Today’s high end homebuyers want more than just new windows and doors. They are looking for features that add light, clarity, and lasting beauty. At Old Town Glass, we help clients achieve that vision with steel windows and doors that embody both style and performance.
Why Steel Windows and Doors?
Steel offers unmatched strength, slim sight lines, and architectural impact. To open a space, let in more light, or make a statement, steel windows and doors are a great choice. They offer a clean, simple look that matches today’s interior design trends. With options for creating custom configurations, steel adapts to virtually any vision, from traditional to ultra modern.
Steel Design Principles That Transform Homes
Homeowners and design professionals alike focus on specific architectural elements when choosing materials. Here’s how steel windows and doors align with every principle of modern luxury design:
Lighting / Natural Light
How a room is lit dramatically impacts its feel. The right lighting elevates even ordinary spaces. Today’s design trend emphasizes natural light, and designers build steel windows for it. Their narrow frames maximize glass area, filling rooms with sunlight and elevating the mood.
Bringing Nature Indoors
Oversized glass doors, sliding walls, and large format steel windows create fluid connections between indoor and outdoor spaces. They frame green landscapes and open rooms to fresh air. This creates a nature inspired living experience. Perfect for homes in Napa vineyards or the hills of Sonoma.
Bright Open Spaces
Even when square footage is fixed, expansive windows and doors can transform the perception of space. Steel’s openness makes rooms feel bigger and more welcoming. Its clean lines support a modern, light look.
Greenery and Plants
A core part of interior design wellness is greenery. Steel framed glass brings in the light that indoor plants need to thrive. Large steel windows and doors let you enjoy green space both inside and outside. This creates a feeling of calm and energy.
Wellness
Well being is the new luxury. Natural light, fresh air, peaceful views, and tactile elements all contribute to wellness. When you use steel doors and glass walls, you create calm spaces that focus on health and relaxation. This is especially important in homes in Marin and Napa, where peace is a way of life.
Simplicity
Minimalism is about more than reducing clutter; it’s about making intentional, high quality choices. Despite their precision engineering, steel windows and doors feel effortless. Their sleek frames, flexible configurations, and refined finishes bring clean elegance to any design.
Color Palette
Color can define a space. Steel frames are available in many matte and gloss neutral colors.
These include blacks, grays, and bronzes. They match well with any décor, from classic Sonoma homes to modern Napa retreats. Steel’s timeless finish makes it the ideal choice for enduring beauty.
Natural & Sustainable Materials
Steel is one of the most sustainable building materials available. Natural, 100% recyclable, and extremely long lasting, it has a potential lifespan of 75 to 100 years. Many homeowners enjoy the natural look of wood. However, few materials are as eco friendly and durable as steel windows and doors.
Quality & Craftsmanship
Old Town Glass specializes in creating custom window and door solutions with premium steel. Steel’s strength allows for fine detailing, tight tolerances, and large openings, all while maintaining visual delicacy. Designers craft each design to exacting standards, from arched entries to oversized walls of glass.
The Art of Restraint
True elegance comes from thoughtful restraint. A well designed space doesn’t need to shout, it makes an impact through balanced elements. Steel windows and steel doors offer this exact blend: bold and modern, yet never overwhelming. Even an entire wall of glass feels grounded and cohesive.
Designing Outside the Box
Design excellence often includes an element of surprise. Steel windows and doors are flexible enough to go beyond rectangles and right angles. Old Town Glass can help you create your design vision. Whether you want tall, narrow openings or large glass doors, we can assist you.
