Should I worry about black windows fading?
Black aluminium windows are a trending home statement, but some do worry about fading when spending money on such a significant home improvement. There are 3 factors you should consider when buying black aluminium windows to ensure you get a quality product that will stand the test of time.
- Aluminium window thickness
- Aluminium window finish
- Aluminium windows warranties and guarantees
Aluminium window thickness depends on the construction of the window. Some companies offer a timber window that is cladded in thin aluminium to give an aluminium style window at a reduced cost. The issue with an aluminium cladded window with a black finish is they are likely to fade due to only a fine layer of coloured aluminium.
Sherborne black aluminium windows are of solid aluminium construction and are powder-coated to ensure a strong quality product that won’t fade.
Aluminium window finishes vary, but the powder-coated finish is the most common. Powder-coated black aluminium windows can withstand salt, chlorine, dirty rain, pollutants, and other contaminants giving your aluminium windows longevity, and powder coating can further extend your windows’ life span up to 40 years!
