colour selection tips
- For a joinery colour that complements the house cladding it is common to choose a tone a few shades up or down
from the cladding colour.
- Choosing the same colour as the house can give a very clean look, especially in white or cream tones. Remember, however, that the colour of joinery you choose now may limit options in the future if you want a change of house colour.
- Contrasting joinery colours are popular and natural tones such as darker greens, blues, greys or black are often
chosen.
- Dark or black joinery against a light coloured house, especially in a plaster finish, can look very sharp and attractive.
- Matching the joinery colour to the roof or fascia for a unified look is also popular.
- It is important to remember that the joinery colour impacts on the inside view and so can influence interior colour schemes. A good option can be to choose a neutral joinery colour that preserves flexibility for interior selections e.g white, cream, grey, taupe, black or silver. Dual coloured windows and doors are available with Metro Thermal Heart™ products. A different colour can be chosen for the exterior and interior surfaces.
