Help! Bronze or white window frames?

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

We live in Florida and would like to update our windows to PGT impact windows. We have a choice between white or bronze. I like both for different reasons and just can’t decide! I’m driving myself crazy! We currently have white and it seems to blend in with everything just fine. But I have been going in a lot of new homes and the bronze looks so cool and modern. Yet white is safe and classic. Ugh! If it helps our home is a Mediterranean style home leaning on the contemporary side and we will repainting after window install in similar neutrals as is now. To add to my confusion we are POSSIBLY adding a pool with a bronze fence, but if we decide not to we currently have a white lanai screen enclosure. Don’t you think everything should be matchy matchy? I feel like it should.

Comes down to more than just the windows. Roof, siding, trim, gutters, doors, etc. all play a part of the window color. Posting up a pic or two of the home for better advice.

I’ll try and get a pic up tomorrow. But for a little more visual now it’s a two story Mediterranean with stucco walls no siding, yes trim around windows with keyhole design and quoins on corners of garage and corners of house, no gutters, front door double all glass and garage door are white and can be painted, new roof next month dark charcoal flat concrete tiles.
