black windows with white trim

8 years ago

We are having a house built and wrong windows were ordered. We wanted three single windows and triple windows were ordered. I at the least now would like white trim around the black window. Attaching pics of how windows look and an example of a look I’m hoping they can achieve with the windows that were ordered. What’s the best way to get this look?

"The plans show single windows but then builder said they are actually triple windows with black trim his program just couldn’t show it"

He is full of s**t.

The best way is for them to reorder the correct windows. Factory ganged windows will never be able to achieve the look you're after. You don't have enough between the windows to put in the white trim.

If it's in your plans as three separate windows, make them redo it correctly.

Thank you cpartist. It was not in the plans to have the triple window and we specifically requested all windows be single windows. Was hoping we could fix before we need to request new windows.

Amy what do the actual plans show?

I have all single windows that my builder had to gang and it was noted in my plans. They were all set to buy ganged windows when myself and the purchaser caught the error.

I will say the factory ganged windows is more of a modern take, and the single windows is more traditional.

Can your builder separate the windows? A call to the supplier might help.

Thanks millworkman. I didn’t really buy that excuse either.

I agree with millworkman. That is not showing triple windows. That is just like my windows which as I said are single windows. Make him redo it correctly.

This shows what it should look like.
