What to Know Before Buying Coloured uPVC Windows

Coloured UPVC windows are a useful method of integrating hues other than traditional white into the resilient UPVC material. This gives you so many personalisation options and will ensure your new window upgrade marries up with your home’s individual character.

A Handy Guide to Coloured UPVC Windows

UPVC windows are predominantly sold in white and black finishes, aren’t they? That might be the case at certain replacement window companies, but not ours.

Whilst white and black are the two leading UPVC colours, not every property type will align with these eternally admired finishes. If your home falls into this bracket, pursue coloured UPVC windows.

UPVC colour effects are realised with the application of a foil or laminate finish to a UPVC framework, culminating in intense and striking hues, including realistic woodgrains.

Integration of colour doesn’t diminish the insulation offered by UPVC nor its lifespan, inviting you to customise with colour so that your new windows are beautifully in sync.

What UPVC Colours Are Available?

Potential shades for UPVC windows can be uncovered on Bon Accord’s replacement windows page.

Acquire coloured UPVC windows in the relentlessly charming and heritage Chartwell Green or investigate in demand modern tones like Olive Grey and Hazy Grey.

A Rosewood colour will result in UPVC frames that exude immense warmth, and the same can be said of Light Oak – both are undeniably alluring.

With such a generous colour palette, it uncomplicates the process of identifying a window finish that will help your designs seamlessly blend in.

The Most Popular UPVC Window Colours

It’s no secret that white leads the pack in the colour stakes, but cream doesn’t trail too far behind, probably because of the neutrality of the shade and how well it goes with just about any residence’s architecture.

Customers searching for a tone that will help UPVC frames mirror the appearance of timber equivalents tend to find Irish Oak vastly appealing as it creates the impression of authentic wooden frames.

White

A pure white finish rarely looks improper and is an everlasting classic.

Grey

Grey’s strong point would have to be its versatility and ability to pair with dwellings old and new.

Oak

For a natural and rustic effect, Oak-finished frames terrifically encapsulate it.

Green

Chartwell Green is one of several green hues that evoke thoughts of the natural world.

Brown

There’s logic to choosing some variation of brown if you’d like UPVC to imitate timber-crafted windows.

Cream

The softness of cream lends itself to being selected for window fittings in whatever abode.

What is a Dual-Colour UPVC Window?

Dual-colour UPVC windows have differing internal and external finishes (one colour on the inside and an opposing colour on the outside).

It’s something that Bon Accord will cater for, as we acknowledge that narrowing down all our finishes to one isn’t easy.

Tell the advisor who manages your replacement window project if dual coloured UPVC windows are your design preference.

To brighten a space, you could specify a white or cream internal frame and then display Hazy Grey on the exterior to boost your home frontage – mix and match in whatever way you judge best.

Examples of Colour Relative to House Type

A favourable choice of coloured UPVC windows cannot fail to fortify your property’s attractiveness.

History has proved that black and grey shades excellently complement newer residences and bring sophistication to them.

If your home fits into the ‘traditional’ category, explore a Cream or Chartwell Green colour, equally elegant and pretty.

Dwellings based in rural settings amongst stunning green landscapes principally suit natural tones, such as Rosewood and Oak.

What is The Cost of Coloured UPVC Windows?

Coloured UPVC windows will generally be slightly costlier than standard UPVC windows – we’ll confirm the exact cost when you have a design appointment.

Design appointments can be hosted in our showroom or at your home and is your opportunity to brief us on your requirements so that we can learn what’s required.

Don’t despair as the cost difference shouldn’t be vast and coloured windows are exceptional value for money.

Are Coloured UPVC Windows Likely to Fade?

No, that won’t occur.

Fading doesn’t transpire as UPVC is a weather-resistant material and doesn’t need repainting and such.

The colour will abide and when it shows any traces of dirt and stains, all you need is some warm soapy water and a soft cloth to get rid of it.

It’s Time to Select a Window Colour

An abundance of colour choice unlocks a huge opportunity to acquire UPVC windows that correlate with your individuality. Prepare for a finish that lasts an age and demands barely any of your attention.
