Black Windows Stand Out Against Mountain Landscapes

With nearly 300 days of sunshine, Grand Junction residents take advantage of an abundance of natural light throughout the year. To do so effectively, home builders strategically place entry doors, windows and patio doors throughout the home to capture the most light. These builders enlisted the help of Pella of Mountain View for their window and door needs.

Located amongst the Rocky Mountains, this new construction build needed windows that would keep the home well-ventilated throughout the Colorado seasons. The builders challenged our team to find the perfect living room windows to complement the home’s color palette and enhance curb appeal. We recommended black 2-wide casement windows, which attract sunlight, making them perfectly suited for the cold climate and seamlessly blend in with the home’s modern design. To meet elevation requirements, our team suggested using high altitude glass. This option helps maintain inside comfort with its tailored pressure levels intended for homes in the mountains.

The black windows easily open and close with a fold-away crank, color-matched to blend seamlessly with the frame and appear out-of-sight when not in use. The casement windows’ intentional design uses hinges to swing outwards allowing fresh air to enter the living room. No matter the temperature in Grand Junction, these windows ensure maximum ventilation, keeping the home comfortable in all types of weather.

To unify the indoor-outdoor living spaces, our team suggested a mix of wood hinged and multi-slide patio doors. The builders selected a hinged patio door with between-the-glass shades for its low-maintenance qualities. With the window treatments tucked between panes of glass, the new homeowners will rest assured that their integrated patio shades stay protected from dust, damage and little hands.

The multi-slide patio door seamlessly transitions into the backyard oasis as its expansive glass panels are tucked away when they are opened. Our team installed this patio door to expand the living space into the outdoor entertainment area, perfectly fitting the new buyer’s love for gathering.

The builders of this Grand Junction home understood the essential role entry doors play in enhancing privacy and natural light. We opted for a solid flush door with dent resistant fiberglass to hide mechanical room and pool storage areas. In hopes of creating a light-filled garage, our team installed fiberglass entry doors with various-sized glass panels. The new construction home features full light and ½ light, allowing various levels of brightness in each entrance. This design choice integrates natural light as a key feature, enabling the new homeowners to reduce their reliance on artificial lighting.

In all, the builders were ecstatic with our team’s recommendations to mix fiberglass and wood products. We selected black finishes on all windows and patio doors to complement the neutral palette of the home’s interior and exterior. Our clients are thrilled with the final product and are confident their new homeowners will be equally delighted.
