Home improvement fashions come and go. This year has seen interior design having navy blues, panelling, redesigning kitchens with a statement colour and upcycling in interior design trends.
There are exterior design trends too that we have seen within the glazing industry, we have even seen an emerging trend for different coloured windows, no longer are our clients content with the standard white upvc window.
Aluminium is an increasingly favourable choice for windows and doors as it’s a very sturdy metal that is barely affected with expansion and contraction with changes to temperature. This is one of the reasons we find that aluminium is an ideal choice for windows, conservatories, orangeries, glazed extensions, bi-fold and patio doors.
Upvc is the cost-effective solution, if you are on a budget then you can still have the windows and doors of your dreams in a less expensive material but with a quality product. There are benefits to upvc too, it is easily maintained, non-corrosive and generally needs a good wipe down to keep it clean. Many are put off upvc with the thought that it is only available in traditional white, this is no longer the case, with a range of colours available from Hallmark.
Today, we have a look at some trends for 2021 in windows and doors in aluminium and upvc.
Coloured frames and doors
At Hallmark we have noticed over the last year more of our clients asking about and choosing coloured finishes for windows and doors. A new window and door installation that is made to a specific colour to match your personality or the architecture of your home is a fantastic way to add character to your property. Ensuring your new windows and door or doors stand out from the crowd whilst complimenting the design of your home.
This works very well for modern, contemporary architecture or a cozy period country cottage.
You will be able to choose from a vast selection of differing designs and colours from Hallmark and our expert team will be able to guide you and help with creating a design that fits perfectly with you and your home.
Wood grain effect
Having new windows and doors installed will have a dramatic impact on the look of your home, the natural wood effect is perfect for period properties, country cottages and more rural homes.
There are many options, such as Irish Oak and Pine, the wood grain effect is realistic, and you reap the benefits of having either the sturdy aluminium or the cost effective upvc with the finished look being that of an expensive wooden installation.
Bespoke glass
Modern glass is practical, being thermo efficient, however there is no need to just think of clear glass panels as your only option. Our clients often ask us about coloured glass and also privacy glass, this is in the form of frosted glass and obscured glass, these can be designed to be a design feature within your new windows, doors or conservatory, with modern patterns and styles to suit all budget and personal taste.
Bi-fold & Sliding Patio Doors
Our Bi-fold or patio doors are designed to seamlessly flow your interior with exterior space, maximising your living area to give a wide-open space.
The design of the frames maximise light intake, bringing in natural light to your home and giving you a real feel of bringing the outdoors in, with uninterrupted views of your garden.
With stylish modern designs or designs to blend in with existing architecture these have been popular for us in the last year of door installations for a glazed extension and they certainly show no signs of fading from our clients ‘want’ list!
Period Style Windows
Want to install upvc or aluminium but retain a period feel to your property?
No problem! This is a trend that never goes out of fashion, our clients living in period or mock period properties are able to replace their old windows and doors with modern technology but in the style of traditional windows, such as Georgian Bar windows and Victorian Sliding Sash Windows, fitted with retro style openers and available in a variety of finishes to suit your individual taste and home.
