I am teetering the fine line of French country modern and trying to create a home that is not only timeless, but current. You can click here to catch up on the building process. If you recall, I explained in my last House update that I changed the traditional french county arched windows from the original design to a cleaner squared off look.

He may question me from time to time, but in the end he trusts me (even when I shouldn’t be trusted lol). Really my hubs has given me complete design freedom and he is amazing.
I backed up my argument with a few photos of some old french county manors and he was convinced (see below). I told him black windows have been around forever. With no requirement for re-painting or re-varnishing, aluminium windows and doors will never fade, deteriorate or rust, even in harsh environments, such as coastal locations, where steel windows can be particularly prone to rust, requiring regular maintenance and eventually, replacement.It is no secret by now that black windows are in! However, convincing my husband that they are also timeless took a minute. Maintenance for aluminium systems is simple and straightforward, with a routine ‘wipe-clean’ all that is required to keep the products looking their best. The thermal conductivity of polyamide is 160 times better than steel and the polyamide also raises the internal temperature of a house, helping to reduce the risk of condensation. Modern aluminium windows are thermally-broken using polyamide, an excellent insulator which helps to insulate windows against heat loss. This also means that the aluminium windows have the longest lifespan of any window framing material, with typical replacement periods of 40 years – compared to a typical 35 year replacement period for steel, PVC and timber.
