Window Colour Options

The choice between black and white window frames comes down to your aesthetic goals and the style of your property. Black window frames deliver a bold, modern statement with high visual contrast, ideal for contemporary or minimalist architecture. White windows, on the other hand, offer a softer, more classic look that suits traditional homes and blends seamlessly with most exterior color palettes.

Black windows can add architectural impact, but it’s important to consider a few key factors before making your decision:

Energy Efficiency & Climate Impact:

Darker window frames naturally absorb more heat. In hot climates or homes with full sun exposure, this can lead to higher indoor temperatures and increased reliance on air conditioning. That’s why energy-efficient windows with thermal breaks, UV protection, and proper insulation are essential.

Exterior Design Compatibility:

Black frames shine in modern, minimalist, and industrial-style homes. However, they can clash with certain traditional or ornate exteriors. Think about how the frames will interact with your home’s existing siding, roofing, and trim colours.

Maintenance Needs:

Dust, dirt, and smudges can be more noticeable on black frames compared to lighter colours. While they don’t require special care, black windows may need to be cleaned more often to maintain their sleek look.

Black windows typically cost slightly more than standard white frames. This is because colored frames require specialized paint finishes or powder coatings that are fade-resistant and built to withstand UV exposure. However, at our company, all of our colored frames, including black, are priced the same, so there’s no additional premium for choosing black over another colour option. Pricing ultimately depends on the size, quantity, and style of windows you select.

Like any exterior surface, black window frames can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight. That said, modern manufacturing techniques have made significant strides, most black frames now feature UV-resistant coatings and fade-resistant finishes to retain their colour longer. Material quality, sun exposure, and local climate all influence the extent of fading. For peace of mind, we offer a comprehensive warranty on all window frame colours.

Black windows are incredibly versatile, but they shine in homes with modern, contemporary, or industrial design elements. They’re ideal for creating high-contrast looks or framing outdoor views with dramatic definition. Here’s how they work in different settings:

• Modern & Contemporary Homes: Black frames enhance clean lines, large panes, and minimalist styles.
• Farmhouse Style: A popular pairing is black windows against white board-and-batten siding for a rustic-meets-modern effect.
• Industrial Spaces: Perfect in lofts or condos with brick, steel, or concrete finishes.
• Interior Design Flexibility: Whether your space is sleek and minimal or bold and eclectic, black window frames add structure and visual interest.
