Black cased windows make a dramatic statement that can enhance any interior design style. Plus, they help boost the resale value of your home.

They can be installed on both new construction and remodeled homes alike, working particularly well with farmhouses, ranches and even contemporary-style residences.

They are a bold statement

Black cased windows make a statement and can look great on many homes. They often feature in high-end projects and contemporary style design, but it’s important to remember they may not be suitable for everyone. Black windows tend to get very hot, leading to thermal cracking and performance losses in hot climates or areas exposed to direct sunlight. To mitigate this issue, you might consider selecting another type of window suitable for your climate and location. Furthermore, black windows require more cleaning than standard white frames due to their ability to absorb dust particles and dirt; thus needing additional products with cleaners.

They blend in

Many designers and homeowners appreciate how black cased windows blend in with their environment, creating a sleek, modern, and stylish look – particularly when combined with light colored trim and walls. Black windows can be just as eye-catching on the inside of your house with the right color choice and window treatments. This makes them an ideal option for any modern design project. Interior designers often recommend choosing black windows to add a touch of panache to your rooms and frame the landscape outside as if it were an oil painting. To achieve this look, pair your black windows with appropriate decor – here are some simple tricks for designing a black house with windows.

They are a fad

Black cased windows have become a go-to choice for home owners nationwide who want to make an eye-catching statement. While not a new product, they have seen significant growth over the past five years and are expected to remain popular for several more.

However, in certain areas black frames may be seen as a passing trend. Builders often use them to save money on materials but end up with subpar quality after some time has passed. Furthermore, there are other drawbacks such as overheating issues and structural strength loss with this type of window.

The black frame can absorb a lot of sunlight, causing it to get very hot. This contrast in temperatures can be detrimental for the glass unit, leading to performance losses and thermal cracking – especially during hot climates. Thus, when designing windows with black frames in hot climates it’s important to account for this factor.

Second, black frames tend to warp more easily than their white counterparts due to warping issues. This can leave a gap between the frame and glass unit that is too narrow for foam expansion – known as a “gap issue”. Over time, this issue could affect performance negatively.

Thirdly, black frames are especially vulnerable to breaking when a house starts shifting due to being epoxy-glued together at the corners and not able to flex to compensate for shifting. This could cause structural damage as well as issues with foundation settling down the line.

That is one of the main reasons we recommend getting your black frame frames custom-made and made with an appropriate upvc mix to prevent overheating issues. The mix will be tailored for your region and climate, minimizing conductive heat gain while keeping the glass unit intact. Furthermore, this higher strength upvc mix has more heat absorption than regular vinyl mix which further helps mitigate potential risks while keeping your glass unit stable for years to come.

They are not a scam

Black cased windows have been around for some time, though they may not be as popular in the real estate industry as they once were. Black windows have many benefits over their more classic white counterparts, but one of the most significant is that a black window can increase your property’s value. For instance, black windows are more cost-effective and versatile than their white counterparts; you can fit them with any glass type to suit your specific requirements. Furthermore, installation costs for these windows are usually only one third of what a white counterpart would cost and the results will last for years. In conclusion, investing in quality black windows for your home is the best investment you can make for its value and appearance.
