Hello HL, Yes I know they're PVC and they can be painted.. I'll put a link here but there are several ways either prime with something like zinsser bulls eye 123 and then a colour of your choosing or a specific colour from a site I'll add.. I think a dark brown could be nice. With the wooden cladding... If they need replacing I'd do like for like but then give it a good dark wood stain and perhaps do this once yearly... It really would be so much more beautiful that way by keeping the wood.. :)) http://www.kolorbond.co.uk/kolorbond-paint-plastic-pvc-upvc One last thing about my foliage suggestion... Some buxus balls planted along under the windows where the aggregate is.. I think would finish this house off beautifully..

What colour windows?

@robert - they aren't 'cheap'! and as I said in a previous post, it does depend on the mark up put on by the supplier / fitter. I'm afraid I haven't experience of the 2 makes you mention, so couldn't compare. We bought direct, then paid fitters separately as a price we got for a local company to do it all (who are an approved supplier / fitter by CWG) was eye watering! - but it would be best to get someone who DEFINITELY has fitted them before because they are not 'ordinary' windows. VERY heavy. CWG choices in Corby should be able to help you. What I will do is send a copy of this post to the contact I have there & see if he can add anything to this thread.

I think you can have any colour front door you like. With regards render, i'd go for a cool tone if you're having grey windows. Jasmine white looks good on the colour card, but my experience of Dulux and that shade in particular, is that they come up a lot lighter than you think they will, and the cards aren't that accurate. I've no idea if you can get testers of those.

Mahogany windows and doors were all the rage in the 80s, but I never liked it, so depressing I agree! I would go for sage green or pale grey or taupe. I’m not sure what Heritage Green is? Dark grey will, I think, be rather depressing too. I think classic black for your gutters and drainpipes always looks smart and that colour makes things recede rather than stand out. I’m thinking the soffits in the same shade as the windows would look smart. I've found a few ideas to inspire you, I hope!

I would do posts & gutters in the charcoal (darkest one) & fascia in a lighter tone grey to match the roof. The posts & gutter would disappear & brick work would become the feature along with the roof
