Black Windows - uPVC, Wooden & Aluminium

Planning permission usually isn’t a factor when you want to change the colour of your windows to black. However, you would likely need permission if your home were listed or you’re in a conservation area.

Black windows work with all sorts of colours, from red brick to whitewashed walls. This makes them ideal for a wide range of properties, including modern homes and more traditional buildings.

Upgrading to new black uPVC windows brings many benefits, from improved energy efficiency and security to giving your home a fresh new look and potentially increased value. Black uPVC windows do have the drawback of being relatively permanent, unlike black wooden windows that can be repainted. You can paint uPVC, but it may be that this would invalidate your product warranty. While a bold choice, black uPVC windows are very durable and as long as you perform minimal maintenance over time, they’ll stay looking great for years to come.

New black windows can add value to your home in a number of ways. Their stylish looks can improve the aesthetics and kerb appeal of your home, while modern uPVC, wooden, or aluminium windows will improve its energy efficiency and security. Improving your energy efficiency could improve your EPC rating, which can add value to your home too.

Black windows are generally slightly more expensive than white windows due to the extra process of adding the colour. Black wood and black aluminium frames are often more expensive than uPVC counterparts. When it comes to uPVC, any coloured foil tends to be more expensive than the standard white uPVC comes in. More premium colours or textures, even shades of white, could be more expensive than black uPVC, or in our case black uPVC woodgrain.
