If you’re searching for a way to add some flair and status to your home, black vinyl windows are an excellent option. Many homeowners appreciate their classic aesthetic as well as excellent value when purchasing windows.
Before purchasing them, there are a few things you should be aware of: fading, overheating and loss in structural strength.
Pure White
Vinyl windows are an affordable, energy-saving choice for homes. Unlike wood, they require little upkeep and don’t deplete forests. Furthermore, they resist mold and fungi growth. Quality vinyl window frames are fusion welded for protection against air and water infiltration as well as termites, rot, and corrosion.
Pure white is a timeless window color that complements many home styles and architectural design elements. Some manufacturers even offer textured or laminate finishes that replicate wood grains for added visual interest.
In addition to white, other solid color choices include almond and bronze. Some window manufacturers even offer dual color windows with one interior shade and a different exterior hue.
Vinyl windows come with a range of colors on both the exterior and interior frame, especially popular in lighter shades such as tan or off-white.
Selecting the ideal colors is essential for maximizing the appeal and value of your new windows. Choose a hue that looks good both inside and outside your home, and guarantee it won’t fade or yellow over time.
Some people opt to paint their vinyl windows. Although this option is cost-effective, painting a vinyl window may damage its color and make it more susceptible to warping or breaking due to extreme temperatures.
Another risk is that the paint may not last as long as expected and may not adhere properly to your window frame. This could result in faded and peeling paint, damaging your window and nullifying its warranty.
If you’re partial to dark colors, black is a great choice. It pairs perfectly with industrial-style buildings and can help create an up-to-date aesthetic in homes.
Anthracite grey is another excellent choice for windows in black. This soft gray can give off the illusion of pastel black under certain lights, though it’s less bold and lacks the same depth of color as anthracite does.
Textured White
For a fresh and airy aesthetic, white is the ideal color choice. Not only is it neutral and popular for window frames, but its neutrality also allows you to pair it with other hues or styles of decor.
White vinyl windows come in a range of styles and designs, from the simple and unadorned to intricate and detailed. Not only that, but these energy efficient and tinted options help save money on heating bills as well.
Many of our windows feature the FiniShield finish, which is superior to paint in terms of appearance, quality and longevity. It’s the ideal solution for builders and homeowners alike – so you can rest assured your new windows will look great and last a long time.
However, it’s important to know that most of our windows are made from uPVC (plastic). While this material won’t crack or peel easily, it may need some upkeep from time to time.
Before painting your uPVC windows, it is essential to ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and prepared. This includes sanding them down with a high-grade primer. Furthermore, select only top-grade UPVC paint for application onto them.
Once the task is complete, it is important to wait 24 – 48 hours before using your windows. Doing this helps minimize the chance that your coating may get damaged or discolored.
Another important point is to be aware that black framed UPVC windows tend to heat up rapidly due to being filled with foam that expands when heated, leading to frames sagging and weakening their structural strength. To avoid this issue, we utilize wide steel core frame reinforcement in our windows for extra support.
Black windows are a popular choice for homes with light-colored siding, often paired with white window frames to create stunning contrast and conceal dirt on your exterior window trim. Not only does this give your property an improved aesthetic, but it may also increase its value over time.
Anthracite Grey
If you’re searching for a color to stand out in an otherwise dark and uninviting neighborhood, anthracite grey may be your ideal option. It’s a soft dark grey that appears similar to black but which still can be distinguished when exposed to bright light or shadows.
Anthracite windows are often found in modern homes, particularly the newer ones, as they convey an air of order and cleanliness. This neutral color works well with many house designs, such as those featuring white or gray walls.
Vinyl window frames in classic white offer a striking contrast with lighter-colored exteriors. However, it’s important to remember that colored vinyl windows tend to be less durable than their white counterparts, so make sure you invest in quality product for maximum longevity.
When looking for durability, look for a company that uses reflective pigment technology (RPT) to add color. RPT absorbs the infrared light from the sun and helps prevent your colored window frames from warping or deforming when exposed to temperatures of over 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Another advantage of selecting colored windows is that they can help reduce the amount of heat your home absorbs, improving energy efficiency. This is especially beneficial for south or west facing windows which tend to get direct sunlight.
Anthracite is an elegant, soft dark grey that can be paired with many types of homes. It’s ideal for homeowners who want to add a touch of classiness while mixing in other colors like blue or green.
If you’re thinking of investing in anthracite grey windows, it is essential to select a reliable manufacturer. The best way to determine whether these windows will suit your home is by visiting an architectural showroom near you and viewing some samples firsthand.
If you’re thinking of investing in anthracite windows, it is wise to partner with a reliable manufacturer who specializes in installing colored vinyl products. With the correct installer, your vinyl windows will be properly installed and will last for years to come.
Black Foil
Black foil vinyl windows are a great way to give your home an up-to-date aesthetic. Plus, unlike painted vinyl, these windows won’t fade over time and will remain durable for years to come.
For a more classic aesthetic, white window panes and frames can be paired with them. They’re increasingly common in new construction projects as well as replacement windows.
These windows are popular among high-end projects and contemporary style designers. Their bold appearance adds a striking presence to any space.
This color is often employed in industrial architecture and provides a stylish aesthetic in factories. When combined with light gray or white, you’ll create an eye-catching combination of high contrast and sharp shapes.
Another advantage of these windows is their energy-saving qualities, meaning you will spend less money heating your home and contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and protecting the environment.
Aluminum windows tend to be more costly and prone to burns when heated up. Vinyl windows offer a cheaper alternative.
If you’re thinking about this style, be sure to research a reliable manufacturer that can offer more durable, stylish, comfortable, and functional black windows. Companies with extensive experience should have an in-depth understanding of the limitations and general performance properties of these windows; use wide steel core framing (for added strength); and apply glass units specific to your black window frames in your project.
When selecting paint coating for your windows, quality matters. Your product’s longevity and how long it remains in good condition are determined by the paint you select; low quality paint won’t last as long and eventually need replacing sooner than anticipated.
Fading is one of the primary concerns when selecting black framed UPVC windows. On average, painted vinyl frames start to fade after three to five years of exposure to sunlight.
However, UPVC vinyl foil covered windows offer an alternative solution. These special windows feature a vinyl panel covering both exterior and interior sides which means they won’t fade at all and will last much longer than painted UPVC windows.
