dark windows with interior grids or not

6 years ago

We are switching these out to Milgard ultra black coffee color as the siding of this will be a reclaimed wood look with dark metal roofing. This is a pool/ guest house. I need guidance on whether to do grids on the windows and also what to do on 6’ slider that looks out to bar area and pool beyond.

No grids for me.

Nicole Chappell - Hi, I realize this is an old post, but wondering why you swapped out the windows. I’m driving myself crazy deciding between white, bronze ad black windows and wondered if you regretted the white. (PGT aluminum impact windows are same color inside and outside. Wanted dark outside white inside but need to choose same for both. LowE Glass appears greenish from outside, and seems more noticeable with white. )

I didn’t want the cottage look. Wanted a more rustic barn guest house on the exterior. Plus no other windows in home are grids. Photo of it with siding and bronze ext windows now...
