Vinyl Window Color Options

Vinyl Window Colors

• If you choose 100 percent vinyl replacement windows, your color options can be limited. When dark-colored vinyl is used in an outdoor setting, it has a tendency to warp under heat. To avoid this defect, most manufacturers choose to create windows in neutral shades such as white, almond or taupe.

Vinyl Color Combinations

• There are also color combination vinyl windows that allow you to choose a different finish for the interior side of the window, using faux wood grains to complement your home's interior. Check with a variety of manufacturers to discover available combinations.

Aluminum and Vinyl Windows

• To solve the warping dilemma, some manufacturers make a window that combines aluminum and vinyl, allowing you to choose nearly any color. Not only can you choose from their color offerings, but aluminum can also be painted to match or coordinate with the existing exterior colors.

Choosing Vinyl Window Colors

• There are several things to consider when choosing a color for your vinyl windows. To increase your home's resale value, choose neutral colors that coordinate or blend with your existing exterior colors. If you are not replacing all of your windows, choose a color that matches the existing windows and shutters for continuity. Cost is probably the most important factor. If you choose an aluminum vinyl combination window, get an estimate on painting the aluminum or research the cost to do it yourself.
