What Colour of New Window Frames Should You Choose ? The Glazing Industry has seen a surge in homeowners choosing coloured frames for their new double and triple glazed windows. So the question is which colour should you choose. The most popular colour for new window frames is anthracite grey. Coming in at number 2 is black. However like most things the trend changes over time. The market is seeing an increase in lighter colours, such as tones of pale green and pale grey. However this tends to be in more period homes and cottages. Therefore it looks like the best decision is to decide based on the style of your home. If you have a modern rendered exterior then darker shades are more popular whereas older, period and cottage style homes are moving towards a lighter shade. You also need to think about the future, are you thinking of selling your home soon or plan to stay for a number of years. Ultimately the decision is yours but it is worth looking at the style of home you own and how long you plan to stay.
