What colour windows?
We are replacing the windows on our farmhouse that we moved into earlier this year. We have decided that we won’t change the existing render colour due to cost but we don’t love the current colour colour combination.
We have decided to use Accoya for our windows and looking for inspiration of what colour would work best? The render is ‘Gold’ by Ingilby paints.
Our other option is for oak frames but we‘re not sure the silvered weathered look would suit the house either in a few years?
thanks

3 years agoI do like your current window colour.
But here are a couple of suggestions from the same Hue Family neighbourhood as the render.
NCS = Johnstone’s

Can you paint or alter PVC window from one colour to another
Comments (2)We have been told by various vendors that it cannot be painted in such a way that it will last. We have not actually tried it....See MoreWhat colour should I pick for my window frames?

Comments (11)This might sound a bit like being on the fence given the advice you've had already... How about a mid to dark grey ( less contrast than black), RAL 7022 is a favourite of mine (warmer grey), or look at a green grey, as something that will have the colour of the olive, with a good amount of contrast against the white render, (you won't have the warm rich colours of the brickwork as in the photos above (which the olive looks good against)). If you are painting the timber windows you would do well to look at microporous opaque stains to reduce your on-going maintenance. A benefit of aluclad composite windows is colour outside can be factory supplied different to the interior finish. Hope this might help.

Comments (0)As we are restricted to RAL colours and looking for pale blue with hint of grey can anyone suggest which shade to use? And what contrasting colour should we use for the front door?...See Moreminnie101

3 years agoLove your window colour. I would paint the render as everyone is suggesting. I think a simple off white or the palest of greys would look lovely. Here’s some ideas, the windows are more taupe than grey, but I hope it helps you envisage an off white painted render.
