Window frames

Four out of six windows have now been fully re-glazed. Aire Valley Glass have done a super job, which has passed inspection by architect Stuart Green. We now must decide on paint colours for the frames. Should it be light to emphasise the frames beautifully thin glazing bars or should it be dark to lessen the impact of the frames? These two pictures illustrate the dilemma. The first shows the north window which has been glazed onto bare unprimed metal. Almost black, it looks very effective in a subtle sort of way.

The second picture shows a frame in a coat of beige primer. The frame is more prominent.
I may apply a top coat of Denby Pottery Cream to this window and see how it looks.

Whichever approach is taken the windows will look splendid.

  1. Yeah, I also think that whichever approach you took, your windows will still look fab! However, the light color is what I preferred the most because, I think, it’s beautiful to accentuate the color of the brick walls. What do you think? #Leah Clay

    1. Hello Leah

      Thank you for that advice. It may well be a next year job but I shall take your comments into consideration.

      Best wishes,
