ᐅ Durability of Two-Tone Windows

We were talking about a membrane that not just anyone installs, but you do it yourself. The membrane itself might be okay, but how is a layperson supposed to apply it to the window without it looking terrible?

If I do it, I can give you a 100-year guarantee that it will look awful. The builder wants up to 6,000 euros. We'll see what else comes up.

Weren't the white windows an explicit request from you? 6,000 (6k) is quite a lot of money for something that you won't even notice later on.

Like the roof tiles

Installing it yourself will not work, as adhesives are generally not permanently heat-resistant. Gluing plastics together is quite a science and should be left to professionals unless you have experience in this area.

We didn’t want a white house with dark windows. There are already plenty of those around. That’s why we chose white windows (the house was originally going to be painted in a darker color). Now the paint has been made lighter... so the windows can be darker. We've seen exactly this combination in our current neighborhood, and we really like it... in fact, the back of the house already shows this.

The roof tiles have really caught your attention... although I don’t understand all the constant references to them.

If you google: "town hall windows are covered with light gray film"

you will find an interesting article... and there are rumors that the work is still satisfactory to this day.

You need to have a bit of a sense of humor for that.

It does seem that, in your case, more thought was given during the construction phase than beforehand. Building a house is not something spontaneous that will quickly come back to cause problems.
