    As the title says, has anyone put in cream windows, I am thinking of putting in cream alu-clad windows, I would be interested to know if anyone has put this colour in and what the pros and cons would be.

    There are different types of cream but we put in 'ivory', which to me is cream, alu-clad windows. Looks great in my opinion with the cream sandstone on the front of the house.

    We are putting in cream pvc wood affect windows.Make sure ye go to see a house that have the extact windows ye are getting because there is a big difference in some kinds of cream windows.Its also depends in what colour of house ye go for to suit the windows.

    Thanks lads, I am just wondering what it would look like with a normal render finish, does it cut down your options of colours for painting

    Hi Your average joe

    Any chance of a photo of how yours turned out? Am planning the same, cream aluclad with sandstone and ordinary render.

    Cheers!

    Hi,
    I am getting them in from a supplier in the west. They are Ivory in colour to almost off white.

    Pros:
    They are exactly the colour we are looking for.

    Cons:
    Watch out for the hinges, they may not be the same colour and as our are triple glazed it means alot more hinges of different colour.
    Watch out for the inside colour. It may be white and not the outside colour.
    It is hard to match everything to this colour both outside and inside.

    Cheers Homeward Bound, Mine will be Scandinavian Pine in the inside with the option of having them painted any RAL colour or treated or leaving them plain, this is what I am now mulling over what goes in each room. Possibly leave them plain with the option of future painting if needs be(I know never as nice as factory painted solution). Also I think I will be having the brushed aluminium chrome handles and hinges, this goes well with the cream window color I think.
