Help! Window crisis!
Hello,
Having a window crisis - help! We put an order in for aluminium windows for our old and new extension but am worried that the colour will date or not be ’in keeping’ with the local Wiltshire countryside vernacular. We chose Pastel Turquoise for the old stone and the new Larch cladding which will grey down, I would so love to see any pictures if anyone has used this colour as cant find any online.
See picture of house for reference.
Option 1 : Pastel Turquoise Ral 6034 on old and new (larch cladding) extension
Option 2: Pebble Grey (Ral 7032) on both old and new
Option 3: Pebble Grey on old and Anthracite Grey (7016) on new
Option 4: Anthracite on old and new
We are the house on the right from front! The brick lean to at the rear is coming down and there will be a large picture window in its place. Our neighbours have just had Agate Grey (7038) put in on both old and new.
I would love anyones opinion and input and to see any pictures using Pastel Turquoise or Pebble Grey in particular!
Many thanks,
Kat

4 years agoI’d stick to one colour given you’re not just changing the one window. This is the pebble grey but I also really like your neighbours agate
I would normally try and stick to same/similar as the house is semi-detached but the pebble complements the agate if you went for that

Comments (7)I feel in a situation like this, I would not add windows with no view that would probably end up with some type of coverings a great deal of the time. My situation would be use of mirrors to reflect available light back into room. Mirror could be styled to look like Windows etc. we have a similar situation in our kitchen, and we mirrored over the sink, and created two faux windows using mirror and drapery side pannels. The effect works great, and when you add the right lighting the effect is wonderful, day and night. Take a good look and visualize day and night views creating with mirrors designed into a "today" style and look....See MoreWindow blind help

Comments (7)Thanks everyone. The company I am using does have a lighter grey option but I didnt much fancy it, looked like it was trying to look metal or something. I'm not a huge fan of white upvc, that's what we have at the moment. I'm sure the grey will be fine and chances are after some time of living with them I might not even notice what color they are - hopefully too busy looking at our views .... or the rain! I'm off now to our local golf club which I'm told has the exact grey I'm talking about in their new lounge area. Might give me an idea. Fingers x'd I'll get it right....See More- 4 years ago
I can imagine! is it worth getting an actual sample so you can see it in situ as I must admit the colour of the windows seen in the photo i shared before was a little darker and less yellow than the colour chart would suggest?
I‘ve also found a couple of pics with larch which appears a little more weathered. I’m not sure of the actual colours but the first looks like yours and the second maybe 7036??
