Experience with dark plastic windows

Yes, I had almost guessed that and also searched for it yesterday. But I was probably too stupid and didn't find anything!

Thanks anyway for your answers. Do you maybe have a link for me?

No, not by iPad. But I took out the silver tablet: when I enter _Kunststofffenster_, I find posts regarding your question.

Here I can also join in right away, with a more general question.

We are building a semi-detached house. The first half is already standing. The exterior facade there is white with anthracite-colored windows. Now we are currently considering either also taking white-anthracite or a gray facade with white windows.

So far we have spoken with a window manufacturer. He said white is more durable because scratches could appear on the gray. An argument from our side would be that the white exterior facade might be more neutral in the long term.

How is it with you in the new housing developments? Do the semi-detached houses mostly have the same facade? My weakness is a bit spatial imagination. Does it look good if you have different facades!?

I like different frames, for example, on our north side I will draw a gray stripe. I will test how it will look with Photoshop beforehand.

I don't like it. When in older semi-detached houses the two owners renovate differently, it always looks bad.

We had somewhat older plastic windows, white on the inside, mahogany wood decor on the outside. Nothing is faded or warped and there were already huge elements, 2 lift-and-slide systems 3 m wide and 1.5 m high (on my profile picture, far left on the top floor on the south side). Now we have foil-coated plastic windows again for the 3rd year (dark oak inside and outside, which is virtually black) and everything is still tip-top.
