RAL 7016 Windows (Grey Windows)

[cawleyp]

Hello,

I'm looking to replace UPVC double glazed windows for a 1930's detached house but instead of the standard white that is commonly used, I am thinking of using RAL 7016, which is anthracite grey.

Has anybody else seen any 1930's houses with grey UPVC and if so any thoughts or pictures as I can't find any on google images!

Any thoughts positive or negative are appreciated!

Thanks

In know they are not particularly British 1930's style - but they do give you a clue of how lovely the grey and dark grey can look ! :-)

My Mum has just done this on her late Edwardian home on the Wirral. It looks amazing! People slow down on the road to admire them and a few people have knocked at the door to get full details of where she got them etc.

Go for it!

Spotty, would you be able to post which company supplied your mother's grey windows? I'll be in the market for them in next six months so no rush though. Thanks!
