Help with window transition

5 years ago

We are building a 3 season room addition off of our dining room. The interior windows are framed in natural cedar. This is too expensive so we want to transition to aluminum and frame with cedar. What colour aluminum should we choose ie white,cashmere, black? And what colour hardware. Our window supplier only gives the choice of white, black or cream for hardware.
I’m concerned that black windows while beautiful may be trendy.
Picture 2 all windows to be replaced. Picture 3 end window will be a sliding door to the new sunroom.
I hope this explains well enough.

Black is the most classic, you will find it in many older homes. It also helps frame the view.

Wow....what a vista. Not a bad spot to shelter in place. Where is the home located? Is the room built out of aluminum in this case? In that case, the black is probably the most classic.

Feeling very blessed to have this as our home. Isolation is our everyday norm.
We live in, Ontario, Canada on Georgian Bay.
Not exactly sure what you are asking. The current windows are completely wood, cedar. I’m trying to figure out the best way to transition as doing all the new windows in cedar is cost prohibitive. We are not changing the big cathedral windows just the dining room and the ones that will be in the new addition.
We will install aluminum frames and trim them in cedar. Design is just not my thing.

What is wrong with the current windows? So are you getting replacement windows?
