Why Jansen's Steel Windows Set the Industry Standard for Style and Longevity
If there were a quintessential example of how a family business and their products can evolve over time, it would be Jansen.
The Swiss company was founded by Josef Jansen in 1923 as a small metal fabrication workshop with only six employees. Seven years later, in 1930, their manufacturing techniques had progressed far enough to draw their first precision steel tubes. By 1946, Jansen manufactured steel profile systems for doors, gates and industrial applications. In 1990, Jansen had 670 employees and generated 200 million francs in revenues.
Today, Jansen Building Systems has more than 1000 employees and stands out as a manufacturer of high-end steel window, door, and facade systems.
The name “Jansen” has always stood for quality steel building materials.
The name “Jansen” has always stood for quality steel building materials. Just under a century after their founding, the company is one of the leaders in their field.
Jansen products excel where materials and fabrication capabilities matter. With steel, stainless steel, and Corten steel options, Jansen’s products deliver on both exceptional material properties and unique design options.
Why Steel Windows Are So Special
Steel windows are known for being long-lasting and very durable. By fully utilizing the superior strength and stiffness of steel, Jansen window systems have extremely thin face widths and minimal basic depths, while allowing for oversized vents and fixed elements.
Jansen delivers steel building products that are perfectly suited to high-end applications, like custom homes, historic restorations, and exceptional commercial buildings.

Jansen is able to provide thermally-broken window profiles, meeting not only the highest design and quality expectations, but also delivering on high energy efficiency standards. Add full mullion and muntin design flexibility, nearly limitless configurations and exceptional forced entry resistance, and Jansen’s products leave most of the competition far behind. It’s no surprise that Jansen windows and doors have been selected for some of the world’s most prestigious and innovative design projects, including the Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie concert hall and Barcelona’s iGuzzini Illuminazione.
For the US market, the Janisol Arte 2.0 window system is an extremely convincing product line. Here are a few key reasons why this product line is a perfect fit for American builders and architects:
