For this Vaughan home, replacing the windows was an opportunity to make a noticeable change without changing what made the house distinctive in the first place.
The light brick exterior already had plenty of character, from the peaked roofline to the different window shapes across the front of the house. The homeowners chose black for their new windows, a simple decision that ended up changing the overall look of the home.
Making the Most of Every Shape
Twenty DraftLOCK Slim Series windows were installed, along with a European-style tilt-and-turn door leading to the backyard.
Black was used throughout the exterior, bringing consistency to a home with windows of many different shapes and sizes. It also gave the house a more contemporary feel without pushing it too far away from its original character.
That balance is often what makes a renovation feel right. Something is clearly different, but the home still feels like yours.
A Backyard Made for Summer
The back of the home has a completely different setting. Here, the windows overlook a pool and patio where the family can spend much of the warmer season.
New black windows continue the look from the front, while a European-style tilt-and-turn door provides backyard access. Surrounded by pale brick, light stone and blue water, the dark frames give this part of the home a simple, finished look.
Inside, the windows and door are white, keeping the interior lighter and allowing the homeowners to enjoy a very different look on each side.
Worth Looking at Twice
One of the pleasures of finishing a project like this is seeing something familiar with fresh eyes. The house hasn’t become a different house. But the details you may have stopped noticing suddenly stand out again.
For these Vaughan homeowners, that feeling came from a surprisingly simple choice: new windows, finished in black.
“We’re really happy with the result. The windows gave the house the updated look we wanted, and we had a great experience throughout the project.”
