Window design ideas: How to choose your window style, material, and colour

White Sash Windows

When you’re thinking about replacing your windows, there are several things to consider. These considerations will differ depending on the style and age of your property. At Elitis, we want to help you to make the best decision for your home improvements. With over 40 years’ industry experience, we know the best window styles, materials, and colours for each individual home.

A wide variety of window styles

The style of your window replacement is the first and perhaps the most important thing to decide. It is often a good idea to choose a replacement window in a similar style to your existing windows. At Elitis, we supply and install the following window styles:

  • Casement Windows – A versatile choice which will suit almost any style of property.
  • Vertical Sliders – Sliding sash windows perfect for traditional properties.
  • Bay and Bow Windows – Great for older properties and to maximise light intake.
  • Tilt and Turn Windows – Ideal for modern homes providing great ventilation and easy exterior cleaning access.
  • Fire Escape Windows – In line with current Building Regulations, they provide a safe exit if the ground floor is inaccessible.
  • Roof Windows – Perfect for loft rooms, letting in an abundance of light and air into your home.

We also install Fixed Light Windows which are perfect for glazed side panels next to doors and larger glazed areas.

High quality materials to choose from

At Elitis, we install high quality windows in aluminium and PVCu. Our PVCu windows are low maintenance and regularly achieve A+ Window Energy Rating (WER). They are available in a range of styles and colours and can be manufactured to meet Secured by Design accreditation requirements.

Our aluminium windows are renowned for their strength and slim sightlines. They are extremely durable and provide a wealth of natural light intake to any home.

We also supply and install a range of timber effect windows. Made from weather resistant PVCu, they perfectly replicate the beauty of a natural wood grain finish. They are almost indistinguishable from timber without the high maintenance and insulation problems.

Our Residence 9 collection have been designed to imitate the sash windows of the 19th century. They are perfect for use in conservation areas and are available with a range of additional hardware.

Finish your windows with the perfect colour

Coloured casement windows

Depending on the style and material you choose, we have a range of different colours to choose from. If you live in a modern apartment you could go for stylish Anthracite Grey or striking Steel Blue. If you live in a more traditional property, choose Golden Oak or Rosewood for the authentic timber look. If you opt for aluminium windows, these are available in over 200 RAL colours and with the option of different colours on each side of the frame.
