How to Select the Right Aluminium Window Colour | Nerang Homes

Nerang Renovations – The Power of Frame Colour

Nerang is a diverse suburb, with everything from older brick homes and riverside properties to modern estates tucked into the hills. Renovations are everywhere — new kitchens, bathroom upgrades, rendered façades, and outdoor entertaining areas.

But one element many homeowners overlook is the aluminium window frames.

Their colour has more impact than most realise. Window frames influence how your property looks from the street, how interiors feel inside, and whether your renovation ties together seamlessly. Choosing the right aluminium frame colour can modernise a Nerang property instantly — without the cost of full window replacements.

Why Windows Look Black From the Street

From the outside, glass nearly always appears black. Whether tinted, reflective, or clear, the way it absorbs light makes the frame secondary. That’s why black frames are such a popular choice. They visually disappear, emphasise the glass, and create a sharp, modern look.

Black frames: Sleek, architectural, and perfect for highlighting views.

White or silver frames: Stand out more, but blend with shutters, curtains, and lighter façades.


In Nerang, where many homes feature big sliding doors and large windows to capture natural light, this choice is crucial.

Matching Frames With Interiors

Homes in Nerang often feature plantation shutters, light curtains, or neutral interior palettes. In these spaces, white or silver frames are ideal. They quietly blend into the scheme without demanding attention.

By contrast, black frames excel in modernised homes. They frame outdoor greenery like artwork, define open-plan spaces, and pair beautifully with darker features like timber floors or stone benchtops.

How Frame Colour Affects Renovations

The right frame colour connects all elements of a renovation:

Black frames: Disappear into the glass and prevent clashes with render, cladding, or brick.

White frames: Brighten façades and suit Hamptons-inspired or traditional homes.

Silver frames: Blend well with pale interiors and metallic finishes.

Monument, Surfmist, and Ironstone: Create whole-property cohesion with roofs, fences, and garages.

Mistakes to Avoid in Nerang

1. Chasing bright or unusual colours – They date quickly.


2. Forgetting about the inside – Frames must complement shutters and curtains as much as the exterior.


3. Overcomplicating colour schemes – Neutral tones are almost always best.


4. Ignoring resale value – Black, white, and neutrals appeal to more buyers.
