White vs Woodgrain uPVC Windows

The most common finish choice is white versus woodgrain. Both are durable and maintenance-free; it's mostly about the look.

White

Clean, bright, and neutral. It recedes visually, keeps rooms feeling light, and suits almost any style. The timeless default.

Woodgrain

Gives the warmth and character of timber — light oak through dark walnut — without any of the painting or sealing wood needs. Suits homes wanting a natural or traditional look.

Both are maintenance-free

Neither needs painting; both just want an occasional wipe. So the choice is purely aesthetic — bright and neutral, or warm and timber-like. Some homes mix: white inside, woodgrain outside, or vice versa.
