Window and door trends for your home in 2020
Whether it’s music or food, trends are
constantly developing to keep up with
what consumers want and what people
are talking about. People want what’s
popular, and windows and doors are
no exception. Here, Richard Banks,
commercial director of PVCu windows
and doors manufacturer Euramax
Solutions, discusses window and door
trends.
Windows and doors are now more
valued than they have ever been and
developments in interior and exterior
home designs have led to an increase
in modern windows and doors. From
colours, to comfort, the desire for
stylish, plus energy saving windows and
doors is rapidly increasing.

Style
Functionality is no longer the key factor
that’s considered when purchasing
windows and doors – now, size matters,
too. Popular window styles include
fixed, sash and tilt and turn, however,
people also want their windows and
doors to be bold statement features
for their home. As many homes are
designed around modernism and
clean lines, curved shapes are now
less desirable. For example, arched
or bowed windows are being replaced
with large rectangle floor to ceiling
windows to accompany a modern
style. Furthermore, open plan design
is encouraging windows to be used to
increase natural light and to bring the
outside in.
