Choosing Right Aluminium Window Frame Colours That Complement Your Home

“Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.”– Wassily Kandinsky

It would not be wrong to say that colours appeal to emotions, create the right ambience, and even influence how we think. For those installing new windows, the choice of colours is an important decision. Depending on the colours, the windows can either blend harmoniously with the room’s decor or make a distinct presence.

Today, aluminium windows are available in a multitude of different colours. You can select different colours for various rooms to add a wow factor to your windows. These include both standard metallic colours and powder-coated finishes, as well as wooden finishes. This enables aluminium windows not just to be functional choices for homes with their soundproof, energy-efficient, large openings, offer enhanced security for low maintenance but also for aesthetic statement pieces for your home.

Whether you are looking for aluminium sliding windows for balcony or bedroom, our window experts can work closely with you to pick the right windows and colour frames based on your home’s needs.

Anodising or PVDF, or powder coating: Which is better for aluminium windows?

As aluminium windows can be anodised, PVDF-coated, or powder-coated, the colour palette of choice is virtually unlimited. Let us discuss these options below:

• Anodising is an electrochemical process that not only makes aluminium frames decorative but also lends a durable, corrosion-resistant, and anodic oxide finish.
• If you want the aesthetic of wood without the associated maintenance requirements, PVDF coating is a good option. PVDF coating is available in a wide range of natural colours, allowing you to customise your aluminium windows and give them a wooden finish.
• Powder coating works just like regular paint. The paint is applied electrically on the aluminium window surface.

There are numerous creative possibilities for homeowners seeking the perfect frames to complement or contrast with their home decor.

How colours work: Different shades convey different feelings

Sliding windows can add visual interest to your home or make the room feel larger, especially when the colours of the window frames and walls merge. Understanding how different colours work can help you choose the right one for your home:

• Dark colours
  Depending on how you use them, dark colours can either ‘disappear’ into the glass or stand out distinctly. When used with a dark background, dark colours can make the aluminium window frames ‘disappear’ into the glass. This can result in a smooth and flat appearance. The same colour can create an eye-catching contrast when installed adjacent to a light-coloured facade or walls.
• Light shades
  Light-coloured slider window frames, when used on large windows, make a dramatic statement by giving you an expansive view while letting in plenty of natural light. White, off-white, and other light-coloured window frames can make small rooms appear larger.
• High-gloss finish
  Those looking to add a glamorous touch to their rooms can select a high-gloss finish. It gives the window frames a more distinctive look.
• Matte finish
  For those who love a sophisticated look, a matte finish is an ideal option. It will make the frame appear lighter and subtler.
• Wooden finish
  Sliding windows from Eternia can also be customised to feature a wooden finish, matching your home’s interiors and furniture for a warmer, more traditional look.
