Window & Door Colour Trends

Create a stunning first impression for any customer’s home with a new window and door installation. Simply changing a window and door profile changes the way a home looks and performs.

Although brightly coloured front doors or bold window frames are not new, colour technology has come a long way since the limited range of shades previously offered to homeowners. Because we manufacture many of our products and work with leaders in the industry, we offer bespoke colours and styles to our customers. This helps reflect your unique style.

We’re proud to offer a wide range of windows, doors and conservatories created bespoke for your specifications. Whether you’re looking for timber, uPVC or composite, our products lead the way in aesthetics and performance.

White windows and doors

White windows and doors are timeless and will never go out of style. They are one of the most popular choices in your local area because they are cost-effective and won’t become dated.

White is versatile and can suit almost every style of home. They can match any colour interior design and curtains, delivering a clean look every time. Avoid combining white windows with white render because they will likely weather at different rates. We recommend pairing white windows with cream and off-greys.

Cream windows and doors

Although white windows and doors are popular, the cream is a softer version that feels less clinical. Some people feel like white lacks personality, whereas ivory or cream maintains that clean aesthetic with a more heritage finish.

Cream uPVC windows and doors are a fantastic option for most UK homeowners, as they can fit well into most house styles and even add to the kerb appeal of a property.

Grey for windows and doors

For many modern interior designers grey is the new black when it comes to windows and doors. Grey windows and doors break away from traditional white, black or brown to set a property apart. Grey will allow customers to enjoy a modern twist on a traditional profile.

Grey is a complementary colour to raw stone or reclaimed building materials. Grey profiles will also seamlessly blend into more subtle and bolder colour-coordinated designs. We offer Anthracite Grey, which is a dark grey hue named after the coal it resembles.

Black windows and doors

If your customers enjoy a more contemporary and minimalistic style, black doors and windows can elevate the look of a building. Black profiles will create a dramatic statement that suits all home styles in your area.

Black windows can accentuate the external views, as the light that floods into them wash out the darker profile. They don’t need curtains to look good, perfect if your customer has a minimalist interior design.

If your customers are interested in a darker profile but are concerned about having pitch-black profiles,  choose darker shades like grey, plum and navy blue.

Natural wood effect windows and doors

Our windows and doors are available in stunning woodgrain finishes. These finishes mimic the look of traditional timber only have none of the durability issues. If you are looking for a low maintenance replacement for a wooden door, our woodgrain foil uPVC profiles won’t rot, warp or split over time and with wear.

Your customers will enjoy a window or door which mimics the look and texture of timber, with all the performance benefits of modern uPVC. Black and grey windows and doors are low maintenance because their darker shade will hide grime and dirt, making them look cleaner for longer.

If you are looking for a deep and rich tone, Rosewood is an extremely popular shade and looks good when paired with classic red brick architecture. Light oak is a more neutral wood tone that is more versatile.

Green windows and doors

Green hues like Sage Green and Chartwell Green are elegant choices when installing windows and doors. This traditional tone has been popular for styles and is often found in country homes.

Chartwell green is a more pastel tone that particularly works well as a front door colour. It is often paired with sophisticated silver or gold door handles and hardware to create a stunning first impression.

Conclusion

We hope that this article has helped you choose which colour is the best for your window and door installation project. Whether you are working on a modern apartment, a traditional cottage or a heritage home we will have the right tone for you.

How Long Do Timber Windows and Doors Last?

How Long Do Timber Windows and Doors Last?

If your customer is looking for a natural feel to their home, our wooden windows and doors are a perfect accompaniment. At Dempsey Dyer, we supply modern timber windows to the trade, which are a cost effective option in comparison to uPVC windows. In this article, we will explain ways that your customer can increase the lifespan of your windows and doors.

The Windows and Doors are Weather Resistant

It is a common misconception that timber windows suffer from poor weather conditions. Our modern variation is both weather resistant and watertight, so it will withstand even the worst conditions.   

Our Stormproof timber windows are designed so they do not rust, warp or fade. This is a unique selling point as they give homeowners an authentic appearance that is resistant to the elements. The timber windows offer a low moisture content that stops movement. The windows include a micro porous paint that will give a high quality finish that gives the longevity of your windows.

When you choose a timber door, it is built with sustainability and durability in mind. Your customer will feel very confident because the door has a 7” slope that makes sure that water runs off easily. This ensures your customers’ home won’t suffer from damage.

Timber Has Exceptional Thermal Efficiency

Feel reassured that when your customer chooses our timber doors, they are built for external use. The sashes are 58mm thick, giving your customer incredible glazing options. With this in mind, cold air will be left outside, and their home will be warmer in the long run.

Our timber windows and doors trap natural heat inside your property, saving your customer money on energy bills. All our timber windows are A rated for energy efficiency, ensuring outstanding performance all year long.

Modern Windows and Doors Have A Long Lifespan 

When your customer chooses timber windows, they offer a longer lifespan than you might think. While older windows are a challenge to maintain, our modern variety cuts down this issue. It is imperative that your customer checks the glazing for thermal efficiency. The seals will need to be checked on the windows for leakage and damage.

There is an option to increase the lifespan even further because the windows can be repainted. To do this, repaint the windows every 5 years to ensure it looks fantastic for longer. At Dempsey Dyer, we use Accoya, which is a natural wood that gives unbeatable performance and a beautiful appearance that lasts.

A wooden door has an exceptionally long lifespan because it lasts between 55-65 years. Inform your customer to check their door for any wear and tear. Your customer should do this during the spring and summer to see if there is any flaking paint. Furthermore, your customer should also check the edges of the door because it is a common place for damage to occur.

Check the Seals of the Windows and Doors 

Another way your customer can increase the lifespan of your windows is to check the seals over time. It is common for rust to build on your windows and doors, especially if it comes into contact with moisture. As the rust builds over time, it is imperative that your customer catches it early because it is easier to remove.

Replace Broken Hardware

At Dempsey Dyer, we understand the hardware is crucial to the windows’ appeal. But we also know that it will deteriorate over time with regular use. A window is heavily reliant on its hardware to function properly. We offer replacement hardware, such as handles and seals, which have looked fantastic for many years. If they don’t get replaced, this can lead to further problems over time.

Check the Frame for Damage

One of the most important parts is to check the frame of your window and doors. The first thing your customer should do is wipe it with a damp cloth to get a good look. Check the frame for any warps or cracks which cause moisture damage. It is essential that they get this fixed straight away. Next, check if there are dents in the door, which can occur with repeated usage.  

Conclusion

We hope that this article has helped your customer understand how to keep their timber windows and doors in good condition. The windows and doors will last for many years. However, there are ways for them to increase this. Repainting them every few years will freshen up their look.
