Hello everyone,
We recently visited the construction site of our general contractor. The house had gray windows on the outside, and my husband was immediately impressed.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we had to wait a bit before entering the house, and that’s when I noticed that the window handles were white. Then I looked at the windows from the inside – also white. I didn’t like that. For me, both the outside and inside being gray would not be an option.
It seems like almost every new build has gray windows these days. Is gray the new white now, or just a trend, and will the classic white windows make a comeback?
I like white, my husband prefers gray...
What did you decide on?

RAL 9007 is great; we also used it for door frames, the garage door, and the external blinds or roller shutters. I really had to insist on that as well. Initially, "of course" anthracite/white was planned.

Solar panels, like photovoltaic modules, are primarily technical components, less optimized for design.Maybe solar panels will one day be as significant as cars, which are technical but still design-optimized. However, that is probably a discussion that doesn’t belong here.P

Who has a red roof and a bit of spare change to join in? We will soon have a red roof, but I’m not sure if there will still be any "spare change" left by then.
In my opinion, this could become a profitable niche product, because if I had a bit more budget for building the house, I wouldn’t accept anthracite-colored solar thermal panels on a red or otherwise brightly colored roof.

Windows (uPVC / aluminum) Internorm KF410, exterior RAL 9007 / grey aluminum, interior white.
Doors (Köster) and external blinds (Warema) in RAL 9007 / grey aluminum.
Facade with white plaster.
Roof covering with black clay tiles (Erlus). Hello superzapp,
Do you happen to have a photo showing how this looks together? Sounds very interesting.
Thank you and best regards
