Do coloured UPVC windows matter?

Read more

While white remains the most sought-after colour for UPVC windows, a rising number of homeowners are opting for a variety of shades, including grey, black, cream, and even pastel and vibrant colours.

These coloured UPVC profiles maintain the same design as traditional white ones, allowing personal expression for your home. You even have the choice of dual colours to harmonize your interior and exterior aesthetics.

Additionally, UPVC windows can mimic the classic appearance of wooden windows through unique wood-grain finishes. These designs not only exude authenticity but also seamlessly blend into older properties, maintaining their charm.

Although coloured and wood-grain finishes may incur a slightly higher expense (approximately 10-20% more than standard white UPVC), they offer an excellent opportunity to enhance your home’s character and keep it in tune with its environment.

However, it's essential to consider certain factors when selecting coloured UPVC, such as the potential fading of black UPVC when exposed to strong sunlight; therefore, it's not advisable for constant sunlit areas.

What about window styles?

In addition to various UPVC profiles, diverse window styles are also available. The main types of UPVC windows include:

• Casement

• Sliding sash

• Horizontal sliding

• Tilt-and-turn

• Bay
