You’ll see a lot more windows companies offering and promoting this option. More than half of the colour window sales today are black.
They are growing in popularity because of their ability to give your home a more dramatic look. Many homeowners are also using more traditional colours in exterior design.

2. Black Vinyl Window Frame Creates a Modern Look
The modern design look is popular today and there is no sign of its popularity going away anytime soon. Black vinyl windows fit right in with this type of design. They look elegant and create a clean look and feel and provide a great contrast compared to other elements of your exterior.
3. Doesn’t Show Dirt as Much
One often overlooked benefit of black window frames is they don’t show as much dirt as white frames. Sure, they will show a little dust, but they seldom look dirty or grimy in the way white window frames can look if they are not cleaned for a while. So, even if you forget to clean them, they will still look great at a distance and up close.
4. Black Outside, White Inside
You need to consider the exterior and interior of your window frames when considering your options. When you choose black frames, this doesn’t automatically mean they will be black inside. You also have the option to keep the interior frames white. This means you can have black exterior frames and white interior frames on the same window. You can customize the colour of each window frame to make it unique to the room or window type. You have a lot of options to give each part of your home the exact look you want to achieve. This level of customization will increase your costs because of the additional production and labour considerations. But it’s worth it if you want to create a unique look for your home windows.
5. Black Window Frame Work with All Home Styles
We’ve all seen older homes that upgrade their windows. They use white vinyl frames, but for some reason, it just looks odd. The window performance will look great but the combination of modern white vinyl windows on a classic home just doesn’t go well together.
But what black windows also do very well is tie in with many different home designs. They work well for new modern homes, contemporary, and many other traditional designs.
