Explanation of the hype

Anthracite-colored windows: in aluminum this can be done well, but it is usually ordered in plastic. There are no granulates in that color, so foil is used instead. It has the same warranty periods as for car lettering (three years), which is a joke in construction - apparently hardly anyone thinks about this. The dark color leads to stronger heating of the material, which ages the plastic faster. With a bit of bad luck, the adhesive also changes color and the things are not even standard white when the foil is removed.

If I haven't overlooked it, a hype hasn't been mentioned yet: namely the kitchen-living room entrance on the beveled corner, because people can't decide whether the door should lead to the living room or the kitchen.

Well, I have a 5-year warranty on my windows, so what?

And now? Is there freshness in 2024?

There are probably also solid-colored windows, although the foil version is by far the most common (that one is already expensive enough). If I remember correctly, there used to be very dark (black?) painted wooden window frames here. Have we already mentioned spots in the roof overhang? And does that already count as late Roman decadence? :P

I like spots in the roof overhang. I'm that decadent after all.

On the topic of floor-to-ceiling windows: I don't find it all that bad if something is in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. So, for example, a chair or a bench. Ok, a cupboard would actually be inappropriate. But do you think that absolutely nothing should be placed there? For example, I also find it completely okay if there is a large window behind the stairs.
