Want Replacement Windows in San Diego with Solid Black Frames?

Replacement windows with black frames—inside and out—continue to be a popular option with San Diego homeowners. Windows with black frames can really make your home a standout in your neighborhood (as long as your particular neighborhood allows them).

Here’s the thing about windows with black frames, though. You really want to purchase a high-quality brand of windows, or you will likely regret your decision in a few short years.

Living in San Diego, you know that we get almost constant sunshine year-round. The sun’s UV rays can really take a toll on cheap dark window frames over time. This is because cheaper windows use a painted-on black color, which will fade over time and is also subject to chipping and scratching. Your new windows won’t look new for very long if you go with the wrong brand.

A much better option is to go with replacement windows that have a black coating made from acrylic that is bonded to the vinyl frames, like the ones we sell at BM Windows. An acrylic coating will maintain its rich, black color much longer than paint—even on windows that receive direct sunlight on a daily basis!

Another thing you want to look out in windows with colored frames is whether or not the color completely covers the window frames. With some brands, you can still see the white vinyl in areas of the frame. In our opinion, this cheapens the look of the windows, which is the opposite effect that most people are hoping to achieve by upgrading to windows with black frames. Black frames can make a home look classy and modern—but only if you choose the right products!

With the black framed windows we sell at BM Windows, you don’t see any of the substrate color—even when the windows are in the open position. While this detail isn’t important to everyone, we know that some of our customers are extremely discerning. They want windows that have entirely black frames, not mostly black frames.

As with all major purchases you make, it’s important to do your research. Don’t just go with the most well-known brand of replacement windows because you think they are the best. In most cases, they aren’t. Many of the window brands you are probably most familiar with have really gone down in quality over the years and are now being overshadowed by other brands in terms of quality, durability, energy efficiency, available features, and overall looks.
