Grey window frames - would you?

[Adviceplease81]

DH has his heart set on them but I’m worried it’s a fad.

Yes they look great but so did those criss-crossy leaded ones at the time.

It’s a big investment for us.

Advice appreciated.

I wouldn't - I think they'll date hugely and they look depressing. We have quite a few houses with them around us.

I really like them, but everything changes over time, as you say.
However, we're living in the here and now, so yes, I would install them.

I like them. Depending on the house. Yes they will date. But so does everything.

I wouldn't.

No I wouldn’t , our neighbour have them, it doesn’t look very nice

Depends on the style of the house. Not on something Edwardian or Victorian but 1960s upwards possibly. I wouldn't buy a house with brown window frames, can't stand them. To be on the safe side I'd stick with white.

Yuck, no.

Everyone around us seems to be getting them. That and rendering the outside of their houses (because grey doesn't go with brick colour).

No
Clean, bright white all the way for me
Brown is horrible

No I wouldn't. Won't they look like grubby window frames?

No grey always looks like undercoat awaiting its finishing topcoat. I work for an interiors company and grey is very much over.

You can always gave them sprayed white or another colour if the fad moves on to something else. I just went with my DH choice for grey bifolds. I have also painted frames in the past and it lasted years (painted silver frames white).
