Optics question: matching window color to roof tiles

Wooden windows are even more expensive than those made of wood/aluminum, and there are few good manufacturers for both.

My experience is different. Pure wooden windows were offered to us at a significantly lower price, and we also have some regional manufacturers. We also received a very good offer for wooden windows from Döpfner. However, it strongly depends on the type of wood. Larch and oak are currently quite expensive.

Regarding the initial question: Light gray for both sounds nice, that would have been my choice as well if we had gone with wood-aluminum. In our new builds, you rarely see that. Anthracite and black dominate.

I'm really not a fan of roofs without eaves at all - primarily the facade suffers from it - on the north side it looks very worn after just a few years. Especially with the increasingly hot summers and the increasingly intense rain showers, I am, on the contrary, in favor of as large eaves as possible.

We are aware that this is a total matter of taste, but just hope for a little input from you.

Basically, I think it is good to plan elements in the house so that they form an aesthetic whole. Relating the question to roof tiles and window frames is like asking someone about the combination of belt and shoes without showing the rest of the clothing.

Show the design. By the way, this used to be common practice here in the forum and did no harm to anyone.

What I basically don't like is "fake," meaning when a material visually pretends to be another (keyword plastic windows with wood decor).

Regarding window quality: I assume that you can get good and durable solutions for all mentioned window variants and that there are craftsmen and architects who know how to use them properly. When calculating with a "sharp pencil," only plastic is an option. As soon as wood is involved, saving at the wrong end can really go badly wrong. Even admitted or self-honest "maintenance slackers" have good reasons to stay away from wood.

I grew up in a house without eaves and with internal gutters. The upper floor was paneled with slate imitation made of Eternit. The facade suffered zero damage and did not look bad even after 40 years. Visually, it was already very nice. The repairs of the downpipe connections later cost a lot of money. Nevertheless, I built myself with 60 cm eaves. The architect ideally adapted the eaves to the location of the house, and I can confirm the advantages you mentioned regarding sun and heavy rain.

Show me the draft. By the way, it used to be common here in the forum and never harmed anyone.

I totally agree with you! Hence the question about a possibly suitable RAL color that matches smooth red roof tiles.

How will the facade look? It will probably be much more visible. I like light gray, flat bricks well; a white facade would not have been my choice anyway, which is why it became wood; otherwise, I would have had the courage for a real color.

(1) Light gray smooth roof tiles and light gray wood-aluminum windows: With that, "nothing can go wrong" for me. However, it naturally looks like the usual standard fare.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Whether the bricks are red or light gray alone doesn't change it. I also see the appearance more as an overall image, and since I tend to like modern facades, the gray would be closer to me.

How will the facade be?

We have a normal plaster facade, painted white, in mind. So everything as simple as possible.

A white facade wouldn't have been for me anyway, which is why it became wood;

I basically like that very much too! Do you have a photo of it?
What additional costs did you have because of it, if I may ask?
