White or Anthracite on interior of windows
We're midst house overhaul and are putting aluminium windows in our new extension (at the back) to match the bi-folds doors and roof lantern etc. however we're planning on replacing all of the windows at the same time and as our budget can't stretch to aluminium for the whole house, on the front we're planning on going with PVC, which include a set of patio doors which open onto a Juliette Balcony.
However, my dilemma is whether to have white on the inside or stick with anthracite on the inside for all the PVC windows. The aluminum windows are all grey BUT in a separate part of the house and will match our new grey kitchen etc, plus it's a massive room (49m2) so they'll look stunning in that space.
But in all the other rooms, bedrooms, office, small snug at the front, which are smaller and less dramatic, I'm worried the grey on the internal side will look oppressive, but then I'm also concerned about being able to see the white/grey division of the windows when looked at from the side or funny angles.
Please Help!
If anyone has any photos of examples of what they've done whether you went whole hog anthracite or half and half - I'd be most grateful.
Here's a pic of the back of of our house, which is a red brick 3-story semi (although it doesn't look it from the back!)

il y a 3 ansI had the same dilemma. I went with aluminium for the the front door and downstairs at the back. Upvc for the regular windows. Anthracite inside and out. If you ensure that the manufacturers use the same RAL number I think the match is quite acceptable.
Bear in mind the physical properties of the two materials. Aluminium is stronger and enables the use of slimmer profiles, so use it for the larger openings. To match with the aluminium try simple upvc window designs, avoiding top lights for example. Another tip when replacing windows consider altering their size. It is comparatively easy to make them deeper but much more complicated/expensive to widen them.
As far as the inside colour is concerned you either think white goes with everything or is just boring. I can't imagine wanting to paint my walls a colour that didn't go with anthracite.

il y a 3 ansHi I would definitely go for anthracite inside and out, we had them in our last flat and they looked great, really neat and smart. We now have white and if I had the money I'd change them all!
