Grey Windows to Enhance Traditional and Modern Homes

Grey Windows is the New White! – White windows have always been a part of the UK home design landscape. For many people, white offers a clean, neutral look which is easy to keep up to, and it’s never too harsh on the eyes. However, it seems that the days of traditional white windows being the norm for properties across the UK are over, as there’s a new colour that has entered into double glazed windows and doors – and that colour, believe it or not, is grey.

Grey has several connotations. It’s been unfairly brandished as the ‘neutral’ middle step between white and black for many years. However, modern homes and new builds are taking advantage of many different shades of grey. It is also a colour choice for more traditional properties when home extensions or replacement windows have been installed.

Anthracite grey, in particular, is one of the most popular double glazed windows and door colours with homeowners at the minute for its deep, extravagant and high quality, imposing look. Not only this, but it is effortlessly sleek and luxurious and stands for design purism with that certain graphic vibe.

If your home needs a bit of TLC, take inspiration from these fabulous properties where we have installed grey windows to improve the kerb appeal of these properties significantly.

Are Grey Windows Right for your Home?

When used in the best way, grey can bring out the other natural colours of your home, and it’s never too distracting. Grey windows are the perfect choice for properties in many different outdoor environments from robust farmland in the country to urban landscapes in towns and villages.

Traditional white has somewhat fallen by the wayside as perhaps it is seen as being too familiar. White window frames are often chosen by default as a like for like, for most homeowners.

Grey windows offer something of an intriguing change. Although not the most exciting colour on paper, blend it with glass in its spectacular window frame, and you’re looking at a unique, eye-catching design that adds the wow factor to any property.

Some homeowners may see white uPVC windows as being too old-fashioned. This isn’t the case – but it has to be said that white windows don’t command the same feelings or emotions that colour uPVC windows such as grey can. Grey is a misunderstood colour, which is likely why it is having a big moment in home improvements right now. Grey windows have never been so in demand before, which is why more and more homeowners are leaping into the design choice to take advantage. However, as it is such a neutral and great-looking choice, it’s worth remembering that this will be a look to weather in years to come.

Installing windows in grey rather than white may seem like a bit of a leap, even a bold decision. However, it’s probably a lot less controversial than you think.

Look at interior design, for example. Grey has started to seep into interior decor from wallpaper to furniture and more. It’s been a carpet mainstay for many years. Therefore, why shouldn’t you feel like installing grey windows, too?

Grey windows are emerging as a fantastic new trend for 2020. There are going to be some dramatic times ahead for double glazing industry, and we can safely confirm that grey is going to have a considerable part to play across the next twelve months.
