The harmony of a home’s facade and curb appeal is often determined by choosing the right window colour and exterior style that complement one another. In 2024, trends in window colours are all about making bold statements in residential designs. Custom home builders, homeowners and designers are increasingly pushing the envelope and opting for unique hues and distinctive architectural elements to enhance a home’s aesthetic appeal – just take a drive around the GTA to be inspired by both new construction and renovation home designs.

But hey, there’s more to it than just picking a window colour you love! Let’s dive into the world of vinyl window frames and see how they hold up in terms of colour fade resistance, longevity, and warranties.

Colour Makes all the Difference

Black Window Frames

Modern yet elegant. Striking contrasts never looked better.

It’s no surprise that black is the most sought-after window colour trend right now. Infusing a home’s exterior with elements of luxury, modern elegance, and sophistication is easy with the colour black.

The streamlined look of black windows complements minimalist and contemporary styles, yet they work extremely well with traditional facades. Black is truly versatile, as it creates a striking contrast against white, dark, or neutral exteriors, making any home stand out with a timeless and eye-catching appeal.

White Window Frames

Forever a classic choice and versatile in every way possible.

White window frames are a classic choice that never fails to impress, bringing a sophisticated charm to your home’s exterior. They act as a subtle yet powerful feature, highlighting other exterior details like vibrant landscaping or striking brickwork. For those seeking an enduring and beautiful façade, white windows are an exceptional option. Their versatility allows homeowners to play with different color schemes across the exterior, making white the ideal canvas for creativity and elegance.

Charcoal Window Frames

Subtle Beauty. Perfect for Modern and Classic Designs

Charcoal gray windows have been steadily popping up everywhere in Ontario, and it appears that they are becoming more common this summer.

Charcoal is a neutral shade that, like white, works well with a wide range of external finishes. Natural stone, stucco, and brick look exceptionally amazing together.

Charcoal frames provide a sleek, contemporary look that can either blend well or make a statement with either dark or light colours.

Windows with a charcoal outside and a white inside are frequently paired together by homeowners and New Construction Professionals.

Vinyl Window Colours

Vinyl window frames are coloured during manufacturing through Window City’s patented UPVC co-extrusion process. This technology integrates the colour directly into the vinyl material, resulting in a vibrant and durable finish, specifically formulated for Canadian weather conditions.

Window City’s Capstock technology ensures colours are extruded directly and permanently fused into the vinyl, providing the ultimate combination of quality and customization. The window colour will not peel or chip, unlike paint or other materials.

This is guaranteed by Window City’s 20-Year Colour Capstock Warranty. Explore Window City’s extensive range of vinyl window colours, including white, black, charcoal, dark bronze, sandstone, and sandalwood.

Warranties for Coloured Window Frames

Understanding window warranties is crucial before making a significant investment. Window City’s vinyl windows undergo rigorous inspection at every step of manufacturing to exceed quality testing standards by at least 30%, minimizing the need for warranty claims.

Window City Vinyl Windows Warranty:  

• Newly updated 20 Year Limited Warranty

• Capstock warranty pertains to the exterior surface only

• Warranty does not cover variations in colour due to normal weathering, exposure to ultraviolet rays, extreme weather, atmospheric conditions or any other conditions beyond Window City’s control.

Remember before making a large purchase, always do your homework on the best windows available made specifically for the weather in Ontario. Make sure to look for vinyl frames where the colour has been co-extruded into the capstock. Window City’s offers a wide collection of co-extruded window colours, including white, black, charcoal, dark bronze, sandstone, and sandalwood. They are also made in Canada and are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions.
