I have had lots of nice comments on my house. Thanks everyone. I would add that I love the 1970's houses the big windows and open concept groovy style. However, the technology to pull it off wasn't quite there when they were built. If you are updating a 1970's house think about how you can introduce more insulation. I did the following: - internally insulated external walls with 10cm of wool. - insulated between floors (keeps things warm and prevents sound) - installed triple glazing and insulated behind the cladding. My heating bills are now minimal

Hi, we still haven’t committed yet! We decided to have the alterations done to the porch first, including a new front door and sidelights in brown-black. It’s booked in for March - couldn’t believe the lead time having ordered in November! Hoping that after this is done, the window colour decision will become clear. We had quotes for both Residence windows in Corse Lawn and bespoke sprayed upvc. The bespoke spraying cost an extra 33% on top of the standard price. Residence came in marginally less than this but as a standard product, we feel more inclined to go for it (even though it’s so much more expensive than standard upvc). I still feel uneasy about the the spraying of brand new windows that isn’t integral to the factory production process. Good luck with your decision. It’s not easy… L

Thank you all for helping as we were very stuck. So it seems that the Marley Dark Brown (4th from the left on the 1st picture) will work. It looks grey but according to the builder it is called brown🤷🏾‍♀️. We had thought the red old english marley 3rd from the left. Should I then have the sliding doors at the back of the house in white too? What colour front door? The back of the house will be rendered as will half of the front (first floor)? Thinking white render.

I wouldn't have either, I would have a greyed yelllow green. It would complement the stone. Something like Shaded White. I'll try to find out from instagram who has a similar house with similar windows. Basically you need a grey that contains some yellow for it to blend.
