Wrong Windows please help
Ordered windows in 2022 and they never got installed until
Phase 1 (upstairs) March 2023
Phase 2 (downstairs) September 2023
It’s been a nightmare.
Anyway, the guys ordered the upstairs correct with the run through horn finish but downstairs he’s forgot to add them. So upstairs and downstairs do not match.
I’ve been offered stick on sash horns. They look as they sound, stuck on.
The downstairs windows are the main feature of the house I’m heartbroken.
What do you do? Do I keep it as it is?
Do I add the stupid stick on ones
Do I change the 4 downstairs windows to match upstairs

Comments (14)I love shutters but I think they would totally change the look of your house which looks great btw.If you're going to have mouldings and drop the window box a little lower I would think about artificial plants. I'm just thinking plants will need a fair bit of upkeep and unless you go up a ladder it could be dangerous! I know people may well disagree on that but I'm just thinking about leaning out of a window! I've had a quick look and you may struggle to find mouldings (seem to be called pediments?!) which would blend with the house. If so, just go for a deeper window box but hopefully you'll have more luck than me!...See MoreHelp please: painting exterior of window frames different colour

Comments (9)Colours look a lot lighter on the outside of a property to the inside. It depends on how much contrast you want and how traditional you want it to look. Cool greys can look urban but crisp, yellow greys (such as Light grey 17) look quite Cotswold, natural and lovely with stone. I like Little Greene Colours best, they seem to have some 'gaps' that F&B don't do. For example, Slaked Lime by Little Greene is a yellow grey, but muted enough to not to too colourful, I would be tempted to start there and use it as a benchmark for other colours....See MorePlease help with window and door advice - completely stuck!
Comments (12)Hi again & thanks for all the advice/opinions so far. We are thinking of all vertical lines with the windows now, mainly because it appears easier on the eye. Hopefully we won’t miss the small openers too much. Downstairs will be sliders for the window & doors. Can anyone help with frame colour? If we stick with the brown brick (which I find dreary/dark tbh & is very marked/damaged) then we’d go with light window frames. My preference would be off white or a similar pale neutral. However, the front windows aren’t being replaced so will stay pure white for now. The soffits & fascias are white. The other half of our semi next door is white. How would this work - would we need to change fascias to a different colour so as to link the white & off white? The other option is to paint or render or clad the rear of the existing house to disguise the old brick. This could possibly allow us to venture into a different colour for the windows & doors at the back, maybe pale olive green or similar. Is this a no no when part of a semi detached building? Should we retain the same look as our other half, even if it is dated? Any advice much appreciated. Really want to brighten the house up but without making it stick out like a sore thumb as it’s semi rural here with a lot of mixed housing stock (mostly character builds). Attaching an attempt at a mock up if that helps…...See More
