Coloured PVC windows are in fashion

In recent years, more and more property developers and architects have been opting for coloured windows to set a special accent and give buildings a unique character.

Windows in popular anthracite are increasingly being used on white facades in particular. This produces a strong contrast and lends the building a distinctive design aesthetic.

PVC windows open up a wide variety of design options!

Other grey tones are also in demand, along with muted colours and, not least, finishes with the appearance of wood. These deceptively realistic wood finishes make it possible to combine the excellent insulation values of PVC windows with the natural look of wooden windows. 

A coloured exterior is often complemented by a classic white interior. The advantages are obvious: white goes with all interior design styles and will keep pace with all future trends.

The latest trend colours, classic hues, attractive wood finishes and the premium appearance of the VEKA SPECTRAL surface technology – when it comes to the colour design of PVC-U windows, VEKA offers everything you could ever ask for.

Attractive design options with exterior aluminium panels

Do you like the look of aluminium windows? But you also want to save energy and reduce both your CO2emissions and your energy bills? Then the combination of exterior aluminium panels and PVC profiles is the perfect solution!

The aluminium panels can be anodised and powder-coated in all RAL colours. They are securely joined to the PVC profiles with a clip mechanism during the manufacturing process.

Once installed, the panels fit snuggly and securely to the outside of the profiles.

At the same time, in the interior, the high-quality PVC profiles provide high thermal insulation values and offer unique technical benefits, including excellent sound insulation. Exterior aluminium panels thus combine the external appearance of aluminium windows with the performance of PVC windows.

PVC window styles

The appearance of the windows affects not only the overall architectural impression of a house, but also the character of its living spaces. This should be taken into account in both new construction and renovations.

PVC windows can be produced in a wide range of styles, giving architects plenty of scope when designing facades.

Styles and proportions of PVC windows

Windows give a house a face. The number, size and positioning of the windows should therefore be chosen to create a harmonious design. Large window elements, for instance, can create architectural highlights and generous rooms with plenty of natural light – a growing trend in modern architecture.

But the proportions of the windows themselves have to be right as well. Very wide casements often produce a less harmonious appearance than do split casements. One-sash solutions often produce a less harmonious appearance than two-sash solutions do. The wider they are, the greater the lever effect and the greater the impact of the weight of the glazing on the frame and fittings. In addition, wide casements are often in the way in small rooms.

The windows should not be so wide that they are intrusive when opened into the room for ventilation and cleaning.

The Class A profiles from VEKA are the ideal basis for achieving maximum design scope. Thanks to their strong walls, their static load capacity can support even very heavy glazing. In addition, smart profile engineering and steel reinforcements in the window frames make it possible to create much narrower profiles. Not only do they look good, but the larger panes make for brighter rooms and higher energy gains from the sun.

The ARTLINE 82 profile system from VEKA disappears almost completely behind the insulation, giving the impression that the entire window area consists of glass.

Windows structure the facade, giving the house an individual face.

PVC windows with Georgian bars

Georgian bars were invented in the days when it was still difficult to produce large panes of glass. Nevertheless, they are used not only when renovating older buildings, but also in new construction – because Georgian bars give windows a distinctive, homely appearance.

The same look should be chosen for all windows and glazed doors to create a harmonious overall impression. Vertical divisions lend windows an added sense of lightness. Horizontal divisions emphasise their breadth.

 glazing bar design types

VEKA offers a full range of glazing bar design types:

1. Internal Georgian bars for easy cleaning

2. Surface-fixed Georgian bars with internal special profiles

3. Glass-dividing Georgian bars to meet the highest aesthetic standards
