Choosing the Right Foils for Your Sash Windows: Wood VS RAL Colours

At Quickslide, we manufacture and supply highly efficient and secure uPVC sash windows that can be customised in a massive variety of ways. We provide an excellent range of classic additions, such as run through horns, deep bottom rails, and Georgian bars. 

However, we also can offer an incredible collection of RAL colours and woodgrain foils, making it easy to find the perfect solution to suit almost any kind of home. But how do you choose the right foils for your sash windows? What is the best choice?

RAL Colours

We understand that performance isn’t everything when it comes to making a house a home. Properties can be an extension of their owner’s personality and preferences, which is why we have our carefully curated collection of stock colours. All our finishes are capable of maintaining their vibrant hues for years to come, with only minimal maintenance required. 

Our colours are incredibly versatile, capable of matching traditional cottages or modern builds. Many of our hues and shades are suited towards a cleaner look, such as agate grey and white woodgrain. Meanwhile, darker shades can create a more industrious or sleek aesthetic, like anthracite grey.

We can offer all the heritage classics as well as more modern shades, with varieties of cream, greys, chartwell green, and more available from stock. Gone are the days of plain white uPVC!

If our stock colour range doesn’t have the right look for your sash windows, we also provide a bespoke colour bonding service. We can produce our sash windows in almost any conceivable hue thanks to our state-of-the-art facility based in West Yorkshire. If you’d like to discuss our colour bonding capabilities further, feel free to get in touch with us at 03332 412 240, or use the contact form on our website.

Woodgrain Foils

Alternatively, our natural looking woodgrain foils can be an excellent choice for those who are working on a more traditional property. Just like with RAL colours, these woodgrain foils have been designed to combine longevity with vibrant, detailed hues. 

We can offer more than your standard timber shades, with Irish oak and golden oak available for those looking for something lighter and Rosewood available for a deeper, richer feel.

A darker woodgrain foil can create a regal air perfect for larger homes and could make a gorgeous match with bronze or gold hardware. Meanwhile, smaller homes may benefit from our lighter woodgrain foils, like white grain or cream, which can create a homely and welcoming atmosphere. 

However you choose to customise your sash windows, all our woodgrain foils can blend effortlessly when you upgrade to our seamless welds. Or choose our 90-degree mechanical joints for a woodgrain foiled sash window that looks even more authentic. These features, when combined with the deep bottom rail, sash horns, and astragal bars could make our sash windows perfect for heritage homes. To find out if our uPVC sash windows are right for your home, we recommend getting in touch with a local installer.

Dual Colourways

We’re pleased to offer our dual colourways for a beautiful combination of modern style and classic feel! This option allows you to choose different colours for the exterior and interior of your sash windows.

Our dual colourways are also available for our extensive collection of woodgrain foils so that homeowners can keep that traditional timber aesthetic externally without having the heritage style creep into their interior design preferences.
