Anthracite Grey Double Glazing


Did you ever wonder why so many new homes are being built with anthracite grey coloured windows and doors.
It doesn't stop there either, there is real demand for replacement glazing in anthracite too. So much in fact that almost all of our suppliers have anthracite as one of their stock colours, and it's no longer a special order colour.

So why is Anthracite the colour of choice by so many people?

It would seem that there are some really valid reasons for choosing it, beyond what you may initially believe to be just a fashion trend.
  • It's an extremely versatile dark grey colour. It really suits a whole manner of building materials (brick, render, stone etc.);
  • It appears to almost disappear, its inconspicuous colour means that it is not the main thing your eye is drawn too and it doesn't detract from the other features of your home. This is especially pertinent when you compare it in contrast to the white we are so used to seeing everywhere;
  • It's also a truly low maintenance colour. It's dark nature means that it will easily still look it's best in-between cleans.
​It's easy to see why anthracite (a.k.a Ral 7016) is an architect's best friend.

Anthracite Grey your way

You may be thinking that having anthracite will make your rooms look dark, but that's the great part. With modern technology, we can achieve a completely separate colour internationally. So you can retain your white internal aspect, or even timber (by choosing Alu-clad) meaning you retain light airy rooms; getting the best of both worlds. A harmonised external colour to suit your exterior, with an internal colour to suit your interior design.

Anthracite grey is not just for Aluminium any more. It is so popular, that it also comes as a standard foil colour for PVCu. If you are thinking about a change in colour, call Fenestra today on 01823 254100 to book a consultation.

Quality Double Glazing Installation

So before I married a window fitter, I like most people didn't think much about the installation process, and assumed all window installation methods would be much the same, regardless of which company/installer you choose. Well now I know better. The difficult bit is explaining to other people how they are different, and why it makes a difference. So here goes, and if after reading you have any further questions about the installation method or anything else, please call us for a chat on 01823 245100. So what is different? Below shows the before, during and after photos of a relatively small window.  You'll notice that in the before photo the window is set back within the wall (it's within a stone building, so the walls are particularly thick), and their are tiles lining the external sill. Now when employing most companies, you would get a like for like installation. This is for a couple of reasons. Firstly it is easier and quicker to survey. You don't really ha...
