uPVC window colours

The range

Anthracite Grey is the dark blue-grey that has dominated UK renovation for a decade, and matches aluminium bifolds and modern render. Chartwell Green is the heritage sage green popular on country and coastal properties; Golden Oak is convincing enough for conservation-minded streets; Rosewood matches most 1990s-2000s replacement stock.

Why Blackbrown rather than jet black? A pure black foil would absorb enough solar heat to risk distorting the profile. Blackbrown is near-black with a hint of brown. It reads as black on the elevation, and it's the black used across the foil industry for exactly this reason.

How foiled colours are priced

Foil is applied to each length of profile, so we price it the way the factory buys it: per metre of outer frame, sash, mullion (the upright bar between panes) and transom (the horizontal one) in your specific window, at the rate for one-sided or both-sided foil. A small window with one opener carries much less foil than a big three-column frame, and the prices reflect that instead of a flat percentage. The designer shows the exact uplift for every colour before you commit.

What colour adds

Here is what a foiled colour adds today on two windows, outside only (white inside) and on both sides, with each window's total. Each total opens the designer at that window with the colour and the inside already picked. The standard options listed under the table include a cill (sill) and the espag (espagnolette) lock.

As standard, each window is: Full Side Opener, an opening window, 600 × 900mm overall, white inside and out, double glazed (28mm), clear glass, 150mm cill, trickle vents: 2000 (300mm), white handles, standard key-locking espag lock; and Classic Combination, an opening window, 1200 × 1200mm overall, white inside and out, double glazed (28mm), clear glass, 150mm cill, trickle vents: 2000 (300mm), white handles, standard key-locking espag lock. There are more examples on our grey uPVC windows and black uPVC windows pages, and in the window cost guide.

Delivery is extra: priced by straight-line distance from our factory (M28 2LY) to your postcode district, from £30, to mainland Britain addresses within 300 miles, not Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands or islands reached by ferry. Or collect free from the factory. Delivery and collection.

Dual colour: different inside and out

Grey-on-white (a foiled colour outside with white inside) keeps rooms bright, matches white interior joinery, and costs less than foiling both faces. Choosing "same as external" foils both sides for a colour-matched interior. Handles come in five finishes (white, black, polished chrome, gold and satin) so the hardware can match or contrast either face.

Matching existing windows and doors

Anthracite Grey, Golden Oak and Rosewood are the industry-standard foils, so a replacement window in these colours will sit comfortably beside existing frames from other fabricators. Our uPVC doors are offered in the same palette, letting you match the whole elevation from one designer; composite doors have their own slab colour chart, with the outer frame available in matching colours.

Frequently asked questions

Do coloured uPVC windows fade?

Modern exterior-grade foils are UV-stable laminates developed for decades of weathering. They are not paint. Woodgrain foils also carry their texture in the laminate itself, so it doesn't wear smooth.

Is anthracite grey more expensive than white?

Yes, all foiled colours carry a per-metre uplift over white, priced on the actual profile in your window. The designer shows the exact figure for your sizes before you order.

Can I have a white interior with a coloured exterior?

Yes, that's the default when you pick a foiled external colour, and it's cheaper than colouring both faces. You can switch to colour-both-sides in the designer.

Can you colour-match a specific RAL shade?

We offer the eight standard foil colours listed above; we don't spray custom RAL colours. Agate Grey and Anthracite Grey between them cover the most-requested greys.

Do the woodgrain colours feel like wood?

Golden Oak and Rosewood use embossed woodgrain foils, so they have a grain texture you can feel as well as see, which is noticeably different from smooth coloured uPVC.
