Think uPVC windows only come in white? Think again. Today’s uPVC windows and doors offer far more than durability and energy savings — they allow you to express your personal style with a wide range of colour and finish options, both inside and out.

From aluminium-clad exteriors in over 200 RAL shades to timber-style veneers and dual-colour flexibility, modern uPVC systems are as stylish as they are practical. Let’s explore your colour options in more detail.

Aluminium-Cladded uPVC: Where Modern Meets Durable

Aluminium-cladded uPVC windows bring together the insulation and affordability of uPVC with the high-end appearance of powder-coated aluminium.

Why choose aluminium cladding?

  • Weather-resistant & durable: Ideal for the UK's climate.
  • Premium aesthetics: Achieve a sleek, architectural finish.
  • Wide colour palette: Choose from the entire RAL chart, including:
    • Anodised aluminium: Industrial chic with anti-corrosive properties.
    • Metallic finishes: Add shimmer and depth for a sophisticated look.
    • RAL custom colours: From jet black to moss green – over 200+ options to match or contrast your home exterior.

Bonus: Aluminium cladding adds longevity, ideal for homeowners looking for a long-term investment.

Over 30 Veneer Finishes: Style Without the Maintenance

For those who love the charm of timber but not the upkeep, wood-effect veneers are a smart alternative. Today’s high-performance uPVC veneers look impressively realistic and are engineered to withstand sun, wind, and rain without fading or peeling.

Popular veneer choices include:

  • Classic woodgrains: Golden Oak, Nut Tree, Mahogany
  • Contemporary colours: Anthracite Grey, Soft Cream, Slate
  • Special textures: Brushed metal or stone-effect finishes for a modern twist

These foils are factory-applied and bonded, ensuring a flawless, long-lasting appearance with zero repainting required.

Dual-Colour Options: Customise Inside and Out

Want a bold, modern façade with a cosy, warm interior? With dual-colour uPVC windows and doors, you can have both.

Exterior Finish Ideas:

  • Anthracite grey or black for modern curb appeal
  • Olive green or terracotta for heritage homes

Interior Finish Ideas:

  • White or cream for a bright, clean look
  • Woodgrain finishes for traditional warmth

You’re no longer limited to matching both sides — customise each to suit its environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

High-quality foils and cladding are UV-resistant and come with warranties (typically 10+ years) against fading.

It’s possible, but not recommended. Factory-applied finishes are more durable and uniform than after-market painting.

Aluminium cladding resists warping better than plain uPVC. If you're using dark colours, cladding or specialised foils are a better option.
