What are the windows currently made of? Can they be painted?

That’s a good idea; although, they are vinyl, and I can’t imagine they can be painted.

Those are very high-end custom steel welded doors and windows in your pics. You won't be able to achieve the same look with vinyl.

I would not use vinyl for the picture window...

Agree that nothing is going to match the look of an architectural steel lineal. You can paint vinyl, but it is a bit tricky business. I would look at doing the home by elevations (i.e. N - S - E - W) so that everything matches.

Black vinyl IMO will look faded very quickly. I need to see your house to even hazard a guess.

Thank you for the replies. If I were to go with black, I would NOT use vinyl. What attracts me to black windows is the industrial-ness of the steel. I’m just trying to figure out if I can make it work with my house. I’m all for taking risks.

Fiberglass is usually best option for the look of steel with some better insulation performance.

instead of the black, have you thought about bronze?

and instead of beige, why not do a dark charcoal or black trim? I think if you got your black window it would tend to tie it together better than beige and the one odd black window. ya know?

I have a similar style home. I did a black french casement window for my kitchen window that looks right out the front porch. there is only one other white window on the front of the house.

this is a horrible picture because it was right after painting and nothing was cleaned up, but it gives you an idea. the trim is Wrought Iron. you can just see the black window in the background

Thanks Beth- your black trim does tie things together nicely. I wanted to do beige around the windows and a few other places to deemphasize the weird stucco over 2x4 window trim and accent stripe (?). I hate them. I see what you mean though. Hmmm.

I believe those are pop-outs? sometimes they use styrofoam molds. you could possibly see about getting them removed. don't know if it's more trouble than it's worth.

I like the ones around the window. I'd do those in a darker tone. as for the horizontal one, I'd prob try to remove or just paint them the same body color

try some sample paint colors. do one in the beige and the other in a darker color to match the dark windows. see which looks best

Of the attached three photos: the homes seem half assed renovated neither do the windows match nor does the finished appearance look good.

The later Tudor home photo, same, the white window takes away the historic tudor style. The white framed window should be replaced to match the black framed window in the photo.
