Grey bifold and windows

4 år sedan

senast redigerad:4 år sedan

Hi, We're in the middle of a one storey extension with garage. We are having bifolds on the back of the extension and there a big window on the front. I want grey bifolds so think grey windows too but not sure whether to have have them grey on the outside and white on the inside as builder thinks grey on inside will be too dark. If I go with with white on the inside I'm worried this will look strange with the grey bifold (which is grey inside and out) We will be changing our existing windows to grey outside and changing the brick to match the brick on the extension. Any advice much appreciated, its driving me mad!! Thank you

I agree with you that it could look a bit odd to have different colours inside and out on the bifolds. I’d go for grey throughout. However would you consider a paler grey rather than anthracite - we have RAL 7035 (light grey) on ours and I’m pleased with it, it makes the frames much less visible than a dark colour so you look at the garden not the frames.

I have anthracite sliding door at end of my kitchen and I also have a white framed bay window in the same room. I think it looks good - the walls around the bay are also white so it doesnt make the bay stand. If the windows were anthracite then I don't think they would look right in the bay window with white walls around. So, I think it depends on the surroundings.

My sister has anthracite sliding doors at the back and had all the other windows changed to anthracite and it looks great. Gives the house a fresh modern look. I don’t have a picture of hers but here’s one I found online.

We have installed several windows/doors that are grey or black on the inside, have a look at our projects to give you an idea!

I agree go with the same grey on the inside& outside, it won't be too dark, it looks far more contemporary and works well with modern palettes. Here are some grey doors we did for a project to give you an idea. Consider the placement of your lighting, it doesn't have to be a symmetrical grid but use it to light features.

Hi, this is a very popular choice to have dual combination of white inside and anthracite on the external frames. It does brighten the interior if it is neutral, but we do also get clients go for the grey on the inside too. Here are a few projects - one showing grey on both sides of frame, and the other project with dual... hope this helps?

Grey on both the inside and outside usually works very well, have you considered also having your bi-folds dual coloured so they're grey outside and white inside to match the windows?

It overall depends on the style inside of your home and what you're happy with.
