Coloured UPVC Windows - A Guide
UPVC windows used to be almost universally available in white frames only and a good proportion of UPVC window sales today are designs finished in white.
Not everyone wants white windows though, either from a personal standpoint or just because they won’t suit their property, which makes it lucky that coloured UPVC windows are in existence.
Colour is added to a UPVC material by applying a foil or laminate finish and abundant shades can be achieved, from vibrant hues to understated tones, not to forget a range of impressive woodgrains.
Any colour application doesn’t impact UPVC’s thermal qualities nor its overall endurance, an encouragement to choose a colour outside of white.
What Are The UPVC Window Colour Options?
The colour palettes for each window collection sold by ERG are viewable on our replacement windows section.
Put simply, there’s a host of hues for coloured UPVC windows. Customers with traditional tendencies will be enamoured with Chartwell Green, whilst offerings like Olive Grey and Hazy Grey fit into the modern mould of finishes.
For windows that emanate warmth, explore Rosewood, and the same can be said of Light Oak, which has boundless charm.
No-one will feel short-changed for colour as ERG’s UPVC-based finishes cover the majority of the spectrum, with so many muted and vivid possibilities.
Can You Explain Dual-Colour UPVC Windows?
Sure enough we can and they’re basically UPVC windows that are finished in different colours internally and externally.
We cater for dual-colour requests in acknowledgment of how hard it is to narrow your colour choice down to just a single shade.
Tell the design expert who manages your replacement window project if dual-coloured windows are your preference and then get choosing your two favourites.
A good example of a dual-colour put into practice would be a white-framed interior and Hazy Grey external – mix whichever two colours you want to match your windows to the inside and outside of the building.
Colour Possibilities by House Type
Well-chosen coloured UPVC windows will do wonders for your home and massively boost its profile.
Any kind of black or grey finish will work a treat for newer residences and infuse some essential sophistication.
To keep with tradition, Cream and Chartwell Green are a pair of classic colours and will imbed heritage charm into window openings.
Homes situated in rural areas invariably suit Oak and Rosewood finishes, indicative of the environment these dwellings are amongst.
How Much Will Coloured UPVC Windows Cost Me?
Are coloured UPVC windows more expensive than standard windows? In general, they tend to be, however you will be given official confirmation once we are notified of what you’re after.
This will occur at the design appointment we organise so that you can discuss your requirements in-person with one of our very knowledgeable advisors.
After totting up a quote and supplying the price, it will become clear that any price difference compared to standard white windows is slight.
Are Coloured UPVC Windows Liable To Fade?
Not in the slightest – you have our word on that!
It’s a fair question though as colour fading is typical in wood-built windows, necessitating frequent repainting and alike.
But as we say, you won’t experience that with UPVC as it is anti-weathering and retains its coloured finish. Maintenance will just entail infrequent frame cleaning, done with some warm soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth.
