You may have noticed more than one home you drive by regularly decided to replace their windows with black vinyl windows. If you drive through a new construction area, you’ll also find many homes there with black vinyl windows. Although this popular option is often called at trend, black frame windows actually date back to the factories of the 19th century. So why, after decades of mostly white, ivory and tan windows are black windows once again popular? We have a few reasons we think black windows are here to stay.
1. The Popularity of Farmhouse & Modern/Industrial Style Homes
Although these two styles couldn’t be much further apart, for some reason black vinyl windows work well in both. As we saw an emergence of farmhouse style homes in both new construction and remodeling, black windows again became a good option.
2. They Go with Almost Every Color Home
Even if your home’s style isn’t something that you’d expect to look great with black windows, you may be surprised. If your siding is light colored, black vinyl windows are a great contrast that will draw the eye. Homes with darker siding and black windows have a more cohesive appearance. The only siding colors that don’t seem to work well with black windows are browns and dark greens. Black windows can really increase a home’s curb appeal.
3. No Need for Expensive Window Treatments
Black window frames create a picture like frame around the view your windows provide. Because they create a focal point inside your home as much as outside, many homeowners opt not to bother with curtains or blinds.
4. They’re Popular Because They’re Popular
We all want to fit in. And, we want our homes to look modern and well-kept. Because of that, black vinyl windows are nearly equal with white replacement windows.
