Gray/Anthracite-colored windows - the new "white"?

Hello superzapp,

do you happen to have a picture of how it looks together? Sounds very interesting

Thank you very much and best regards

Sure, gladly. But you’ll have to be a bit patient for that. Roof in 2-3 weeks, windows + doors mid-December. Plaster? In a few months when the weather is suitable.

It's not just the windows, it's almost only dark roofs now. The trend changes every 20 years, around 1970 all roofs were black, by 1990 only red until about 2005. From then on, black again. According to my forecast, red roofs again from 2025

So we'll be back in trend in about 5 years ... :)

In 5 years, hopefully you won't see any roof tiles on new buildings because of the photovoltaic system. ;)

Hi, back to the topic: Originally, we wanted anthracite on the outside and white on the inside. Somehow we now prefer anthracite inside and outside. The windows (outside anthracite, inside white) are supposed to cost an extra €3200. We haven’t asked yet about anthracite on both sides, let's see how much more that costs. Apparently, there are also through-colored windows, does anyone know more here? Costs? Haven’t gotten around to asking BU yet. Cheers, Olli

Somehow we are now favoring anthracite inside + outside.

But that is quite a strong contrast to the usually white walls. I find it horrible ;)

There are also apparently dyed-through windows, does anyone know more? Costs?

Dyed-through? No idea. But you can check out Gealan Acrycolor. The windows are not foil-coated. The price is comparable to good "normal" foil-coated windows.

I was just about to say and recommend Gealan as well. I don't know about the additional cost – also because I only recommend Gealan for colored windows (simply due to the unique selling point; in my opinion, other providers can do white just as well). I don't find anthracite on the inside against white too extreme; at the sales location, we had a dark brown close to anthracite against white walls. However, I consider the "melted-in" coloring to be simply higher quality than the foil – but this does not change the cracking issue on unshaded south-facing sides.
