Help with Aluminium window & door frames
Comments (1)You wont be able to strip them back to silver you'll need to paint over them. Can be DIY with a lot of patience and tape. And to get a good result you need to remove the sliding window and any hardware. Spray paint in a can is the easiest but can add up. If you're staying there a while and have standard size windows it may be worth pricing replacements....See MoreColour of aluminium window frames
Comments (4)The psychology within your home will be more affected by being in an environment you like and feel comfortable with rather than someone elses thoughts. It's really a style choice - do you want a softer look - consider your furnishing styles and preferences. The darker options are good for crisp and contemporary such as in full height multi paned steel Criffal windows. Try Google and Houzz for pictures. A good compromise is silver pearl which is soft but also contemporary....See MoreMatch exterior aluminium window frame colour and wall colour.

Comments (4)Hi Belinda - a photo would help us understand your issue. Is the aluminium bare? No paint finish? Many cheaper homes have aluminium windows with a very thin aluminium frame. Is this like yours? I don't think there are any products to improve the proportion of the window frames as they may block the open and closing of each window. I think the only solution would be to replace the whole window, either with a new timber window which has more traditional proportions, or one of the wider frame profile aluminium windows, however the labour involved in fitting new windows makes it an expensive exercise. Trend Windows have a good range of timber and aluminium windows if you want to compare window frame proportions: http://www.trendwindows.com.au/?gclid=CjwKCAiAt4rfBRBKEiwAC678KYIKD_bwdMsJK52Pqe_-kBaEKLbVuE8QTnvFvUHexA5IzGpfpNoSIBoC-zYQAvD_BwE Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreLaura Beaupeurt
