Remember when replacement windows only came in a few colors? Thankfully, those days are long gone.

Early replacement window companies struggled to add pigment to window frames without weakening them. Materials like vinyl were especially challenging because they were susceptible to fading or warping. As a result, adding different colors often led to premature window failure.
Modern composites, like Fibrex® material, have color integrated during manufacturing. They offer more color options and resistance against sun and heat damage. Unlike a painted surface that requires labor-intensive processes to maintain, Fibrex® material profiles are virtually maintenance-free and guaranteed not to fade or weaken when exposed to extreme temperatures and other weather elements.
Technological advancements allow replacement window manufacturers to create dark-framed windows with thermally reflective properties that perform almost as well as white.
When shopping for replacement windows, ask about color integrity and performance. Color applications vary depending on the frame material—aluminum, wood, vinyl or composite.

Others paint their frames or use composite material with pigment added as part of the extrusion process.
