Thinking of Painting Windows Black?
You might have existing wood windows and you’re thinking of painting windows black. While this sounds like a fast and sensible upgrade, it’s not the smartest way to go to get a home with black windows.
Why You Shouldn’t Paint Your Windows Black
Painting window trim black requires maintenance over the years. Wood windows are notorious for their maintenance drawbacks, and the black paint will eventually wear away over time. This is especially true for the exterior portion of the window.
Generally, painting your windows is never a good approach. Not only does it require upkeep, but it can also void your window warranty entirely! Why paint your windows black when you can have quickly black vinyl windows that come with a factory finish warranty installed, engineered to keep your home energy efficient and comfortable?
Painting wood windows leads to:
- Unsightly peeling or chipping paint over time
- Even the best exterior paint will wear away from New England’s climate, requiring you to repaint again and again
- No performance-related benefits from painting window trim black.
- Constant worrying over the foundational state of the windows. Are they chipping or even rotting from exposure to the elements?
- Safety issues of climbing on a ladder as a DIY approach to paint your windows black
- Cost consideration of professional painting. This can get pricey!
