Steel Doors and Windows Now Exclusively Available with Advanced European Engineering

Located in the heart of the Byron Shire, we are the exclusive supplier and manufacturer of bespoke steel door and windows between Sydney & Brisbane.

Our steel frame windows and doors add an unmistakable feature to any abode or commercial space. Sleek lines and expansive panes of glass provide minimal obstruction to surrounding views – no other joinery material compares.

Opening a steel door feels just like a new sports car. There is an instant sense of luxury the moment you pull the handle.

Established in Europe in 1906, RP Technik is a world leader in manufacturing highly technical steel joinery profiles. Since 2019, they have expanded into Australia to fill the need for high-performance products that stand up against extreme Australian weather conditions.

Head of our metal department and business partner, Thomas De Toni, has years of experience working with steel joinery profiles while living and working in Europe.

I am so excited to have exclusive access to RP Technik as they are one of the world’s most sought-after steel joinery brands. Their wide range of products are a dream to work with and can be fabricated into a range of modern or heritage designs.

Steel Door Design Options

Design flexibility

The strength of steel allows profiles to be the most robust product on the market. This makes for clean lines on expansive panes of glass.

Steel profiles are available in up to six-metre lengths in a single span and can be shaped for each unique project.

For all of our RP Technik projects, we use complete steel beading constructed with mitred corners and seamlessly finished welds for a solid and detailed finish. We don’t use riveted or aluminium systems for frame or beading construction.

Low Maintenance 

All systems are finished in a three-step sandblasting process, zinc priming and powder-coating for maximum protection.

Powder coating has a warranty for up to 30 years, removing the need for regular maintenance painting.

The only cleaning required is on the glass to maintain shine and wet dusting over the framework and handles.

Profiles have options for environmental and safety barriers

Security

All our steel products are more than three times stronger than aluminium.

Selecting the correct RP Technik profile will provide a highly rated score against resistance to burglary, forced impact, sound and the environment.

RP Technik is certified according to OHSAS 18001 and ISO 9001 International Standards.

Weather and environment

Hot and cold

With innovative thermal barriers and options of double-glazing allowances and hermetic profiles, RP Technik steel doors and windows will reduce your energy bills in both summer and winter.

Steel inherently is less likely to expand or contract like aluminium. Adverse temperatures inevitably lead to joint cracking. It will also not bow nor twist as timber does in humid and dry weather. Steel remains stable throughout its enduring lifespan.

BAL Rated Steel Doors

Profiles can offer Flame Zone ratings for the Australian Bushfire Attack Rating Level (BAL FZ), providing the highest possible level of safety in a bushfire.

Learn more about this on NSW Rural Fire Service’s website or consult your architect.

Lead Times

If a product is not available to order from our distributor’s Australian warehouse, materials are directly imported from Germany.

Profiles are delivered in one of two ways depending on the size of each project: 3-metre lengths on air freight (faster) or 6-metre lengths on sea freight (slower).

For doors with single outer frames spanning between 3 and 6m, we will only use one length of the profile and never join smaller pieces together to maintain ultimate structural integrity. In this case, it is essential to use sea freight.

FAQ

Once the criteria for the Essentials package have been exhausted, any more time will be charged hourly.

We have formulated this package based on seven years of tested research. We have analysed our clients’ journey from research and development through to quote acceptance for one bespoke designed quality kitchen for the average family home.

We discovered that 90% of clients who have already researched their design and lifestyle needs for their cabinetry would run with their first strong idea because it is the most considered concept.

The purpose of the package is a concise way for our seasoned professionals to take a pragmatic approach to refine your considerations.

If you find this package does not suit your needs, then we recommend selecting the Comprehensive option, where you can allow time to explore more options.

  • Return travel to and from our Mullumbimby workshop
  • Materials selection
  • Room measurements
  • Design layout and spacial planning
  • Research
  • Negotiating the best prices with our suppliers
  • Proposal preparation
  • Other necessary documentation and administration activities

Legacy of the Antipodes holds the intellectual property rights to our unique style of flood-resilient cabinets that have been engineered, designed and tested to meet our renowned high standards.

While we can accept input from other design professionals, we expect to spend time researching and verifying the design to ensure it meets our standards.

Suppose you have already engaged with a reputable, experienced professional interior designer or architect. In that case, it is normal for us to receive a set of finalised floor and elevation plans that include measurements and a specified list of materials (product schedule). Each designer’s methodology and scope of works can be different.

If plans are missing details, we may be able to make a provisional price range which will have to be refined further during subsequent consultation time. During peak times, we request you return to your original designer for a complete design; otherwise, your will experience a delay in our process.

PRO TIP: The more detail your designer specifies, the less likely you will find unrealised costs across the entire construction project, not just cabinetry.

Yes, we love working on large projects like commercial shop fitting.

It is essential to ensure that all commercial projects are highly durable as they command higher usage than domestic ones. In addition, food premises need to ensure fit-outs are food-safe compliant.

Both front and back-of-house projects involve more research and are on a larger scale than domestic projects; therefore, we recommend working on the Comprehensive service.

We offer in-house Interior Design services with our Director, Lisa. She can assist with a full-service interior design to round out the room or an entire home.

Laurent will only coordinate the benchtop supply and installation and any in-house metalwork. Lisa sources and manages all other trades under our Interior Design portfolio of services.
