ᐅ Anthracite or white plastic windows?

We are still undecided whether to choose uPVC windows in anthracite or white. The anthracite windows are made of color-through plastic, not a foil finish. Considering the house style (modern, mono-pitched roof, no eaves), anthracite would fit well.

Unfortunately, anthracite will come with an extra cost, but I will only find out the exact price difference during the final selection process.

Are there any other disadvantages of anthracite-colored windows? Can they fade over time?

Can someone share information about the additional costs?

Who has experience with this?

We really don’t like these anthracite windows that are seen everywhere at the moment... awful! Whether they are supposed to look elegant is definitely a matter of personal taste. But to each their own.

A friend has dark, solid-colored PVC windows, while ours are white. The dark ones are newer, but in the areas exposed to direct sunlight, they are already significantly faded, whereas the sun does not seem to affect our white windows at all. However, the windows in question are about 30 years old.

Supposedly, you don’t have that with windows that have a film coating.
