Both your windows and roof are essential in protecting your home from harsh elements and weather extremes. By matching these two components of your exterior, you can achieve both beauty and function.

Here are tips on matching windows with roofs from a leading casement window replacement expert.

Balance and Symmetry

No matter what style your home is, you need balance and symmetry to ensure your exterior is well designed. There are various ways to balance the elements of your home’s exterior. For instance, if you have a slightly pitched metal roof, sliding casement windows are a great option. It’s because their sleek frame complements the neat lines of the roof, accentuating your home’s style.

The Right Colors

The color of your windows and roof can make or break the look of your exterior. With the right hues, you can highlight the features of your home and even conceal flaws.

A field color and two accent colors make up exterior color palettes. Your roof acts as the field color for your scheme since it’s a dominant part of your home’s facade. For the frame of your home replacement windows, go for a color that contrasts with the roof. To create a dramatic effect, pair a light-colored roof with dark trims. However, if you prefer more a subtle look, the choose a hue that’s a little lighter than your roof.

Moreover, you can take inspiration from the color schemes of the houses in your neighborhood. You can also go online and check out home improvement websites for exterior color scheme ideas. Another way to help you choose colors is by visiting local showrooms.
