...Besides, we wondered whether this is just a trend. White windows always work. After all, a consultant from a window company told us that the dark window parts warp when the sun shines on them because they get much hotter...
We have white on the inside and gray foil on the outside. How could it be otherwise
We were not informed about the warping or we did not inform ourselves or give it much thought. Now it is like that, and we are waiting to see if there is any truth to it.
I want to say something about the trend. Above it says: white always works.
That is not quite true. I'm not that old to judge very old windows, but I know windows from houses from the 50s, 60s, 70s,...
I want to say that originally there were natural-colored wooden windows before plastic was invented for windows. White plastic: from the 90s, it always worked from then on, was modern and new, but not necessarily chic. Modern because new. It was good, cheap, practical. And it remains so to this day.
Those who cared about quality kept their glazed wooden windows or built their houses with wooden windows.
That still applies today. White plastic windows are, I don’t want to offend anyone, cheap and done! If I didn’t have a white house, I would have those windows too.
But modern? They are not modern and chic.
And after 10 years, they look sharp too, let’s be honest — either colored and warped or white and sharp?
Basically, plastic becomes brittle over time. That’s why they eventually look sharp. Maybe the foil helps against brittleness? That would be worth a study.
