Emerging Trends in Windows & Doors Systems

Mahesh Choudhary presents some of the emerging trends in windows and doors to consider while new construction or renovation.

Windows and doors are a significant part of any construction and have a great influence on the interiors and exteriors of a building. Not only they impact the entire look but also play a huge role in maintaining the security and utility of the space. As each of the interior space has its own style and reflects the persona of its owner, choosing right doors and windows that matches the desired need as well as style, is a point to ponder upon. The choice of the material, color and patterns of the doors and windows can have a huge influence on the way the space looks and feels. Constant evolution of designs and trends has opened up many attractive, affordable and energy efficient solutions for doors and windows. Past few years have already witnessed usage of several alternate materials other than wood. uPVC has been one of the prominent materials used widely, where casement and sliding systems lead the trend for residential and commercial window and door needs. However 2020 is expected to witness next level shift with innovation in design, functionality and introduction of new trends and colours. 2020 will bring the trends that will not only enhance the look of the house but also will make the interiors more spacious, ventilated and functionally unique.       

Here are some of the emerging and widely popular trends to consider while new construction or renovation. Most of these have already gained traction and will witness next level change in upcoming months:

Playing with Colours

Colours are going to take spot light in 2020. Be it windows or doors people these days are more open to go beyond the usage of single and conventional colours across the building. While white windows are popular and a classic choice, matte black and lighter colours are something to watch out for in 2020. Shades of silver and grey are also trending and blend well with contemporary homes. Thanks to the evolution in technology, traditional wood-finish lovers can get their uPVC windows and doors in Golden Oak, Rustik Oak, Dark Oak, Walnut and Mahagoni colours.In a nutshell - from elegant white to edgy black and playful blue to laminated wooden textures, with uPVC, there are endless possibilities when it comes to customization for window and door colours in your house. One can even plan for different and matching colours for different spaces in the house. 

Space Takes Center Stage

2020 will witness greater stress on space and style.  Frames and colours that will give the interiors a bigger and brighter feel will be in demand. In fact, more and more people will opt for window and door solutions which will make the room spacious and more ventilated. Slide and fold window and door systems will gain more traction for both small and big spaces, as they enable more space for movement as compared to sliding windows and doors. While slide and fold windows let more air and natural light come inside the house, doors made of this system provide more space formovement.

Design & Functionality

Just like colours, 2020 will witness sharp change in the design and functional aspect of windows and doors. It will see a renaissance of arch shaped windows, tilt & turn windows, lift and slide doors, slide and fold windows and doors and more. These systems bring various options to customize your doors and windows, based on the area and functional utility. Owing to its malleability, uPVC will be the sought after material for people who would want their spaces to reflect the trend.

Safety & Security

Safety and security has always been an important feature to consider while choosing windows and doors. uPVC again will be the trendsetter as despite the vast expanse of glass, with multi-point locking system, uPVC windows and doors make the house safe and secure from break-ins. uPVC windows with triple glazing can withstand heavy wind loads in high rise buildings and can easily be installed with grills and mesh to protect the family from unauthorized access from humans and flies/insects. Thanks to the fire retardants used while making uPVC windows and doors, they become self-extinguishing and don't contribute in spreading fire.

Greater Stress on Sustainable & Energy Efficient Living

The focus on sustainable living will continue to dominate 2020. Rising temperature has shot up average energy expense across cities. This has forced households to use energy efficient measures while constructing/renovating their house. Since windows and doors are a significant contributor to the overall energy consumption inside the house, people have started using energy efficient material for windows and doors. uPVC windows with double or triple glazing are energy efficient and can help cut down the energy bill upto 30%.They insulate the house from outside temperature and help in reducing the energy consumption during every season. Owing to the awareness created around us, more and more people are reducing the usage of wood during construction/renovation. uPVC will gain more prominence as the base material used while making uPVC is entirely eco-friendly and pollution resistant.      

2020 will be a year dedicated to customization in design, functionality, appearance and sustainability.  More and more people are getting conscious of what material is used in their construction/renovation. The technology is playing a vital role in bringing the supply closer to the ever increasing and evolving demand. uPVC surely comes to be a clear winner in all these aspects as it brings many more benefits as compared with wooden doors and windows used conventionally.
