Coloured and Textured Finishes for uPVC Windows

For years, white has been the default choice for uPVC windows. It’s classic, clean, and timeless, but modern manufacturing now gives homeowners far more creative freedom. Today’s coloured uPVC windows offer endless design possibilities, with shades like grey, black, and realistic woodgrain finishes adding style and lasting durability.

If you’re upgrading your windows, it’s worth knowing what options are available and how the right finish can completely transform the look of your property.

Why Colour Matters

Your windows are one of the most visible features of your home’s exterior. The frame colour can dramatically affect your property’s kerb appeal, architectural balance, and even resale value.

Choosing a modern coloured or textured finish allows you to:

  • Complement existing brickwork, render, or roof tiles
  • Match other exterior details such as doors or garage shutters
  • Create contrast for a striking, contemporary look
  • Reproduce the appearance of traditional timber frames without the upkeep

At Wirral Double Glazing, we provide uPVC window finishes and colours to match any property style, including period homes and modern developments.

Popular Coloured Finishes

With over 30 colours and finishes to choose from, there’s something to suit every style of home. Each option is carefully designed to complement your property’s character and stand the test of time. To give you a sense of what’s available, here are some of the most popular uPVC window finishes chosen by homeowners across the UK.

1. Anthracite Grey

Now one of the most sought-after shades for uPVC windows, anthracite grey offers a sleek, architectural feel that suits both traditional and modern homes. It pairs beautifully with red brick, white render, and stone façades.

2. Black

For a bold, contemporary edge, black uPVC windows create contrast and sophistication. They’re particularly effective on modern extensions or minimalist designs, adding real definition to the exterior.

3. Cream and Off-White Shades

If you prefer something softer than pure white, cream and ivory tones provide warmth and character without feeling stark. They’re ideal for older homes or rural settings.

4. Chartwell Green

A long-standing favourite for period properties, Chartwell Green complements heritage architecture and countryside surroundings perfectly. It gives a subtle touch of colour while maintaining a traditional charm.

5. Woodgrain Finishes

Timber-effect uPVC windows offer the look of real wood without the ongoing maintenance. Available in shades like Golden Oak, Rosewood, and Irish Oak, they recreate natural texture and depth, with none of the sanding, staining, or painting that wooden frames demand.

Beyond these examples, there’s also a wide choice of other colours and finishes available, including dual-colour frames and more individual shades. Advances in uPVC manufacturing mean you can now achieve a high-quality finish that lasts for years with very little maintenance.

The Benefits of Modern uPVC Finishes

Today’s coloured and textured uPVC windows are created using advanced foil-lamination technology, which bonds colour and texture directly to the frame surface. This means:

  • No peeling or fading: UV-resistant coatings maintain colour integrity for decades.
  • Minimal maintenance: A simple wipe with warm, soapy water keeps frames looking new.
  • Durable protection: Resistant to chips, cracks, and weathering, which is ideal for coastal areas like the Wirral.
  • Consistent quality: Each finish is factory-applied under controlled conditions for a flawless result.

Unlike painted frames, these foils don’t flake or discolour, giving you a finish that’s built to last and backed by manufacturer guarantees.

Coordinate with Doors and Roofline

For a cohesive finish, many homeowners choose to match or contrast their new windows with composite doors, aluminium bi-folds, or roofline products such as fascias and soffits. Wirral Double Glazing can help you achieve a consistent colour scheme across your home’s exterior, ensuring every detail ties together beautifully.
