Architecture and
design have been nothing short of inspiration. Architects have come up with
designs that truly resonate with current trends. Clichéd designs are out, and a
clear contemporary look is very much in.
For fenestration, architects play an important role, as the designs they implement greatly
impact trends and innovation.
From large glazing to automation, all can be beautifully implemented.
Floor-to-Ceiling Windows: The
full-height windows we saw were very prominent
this year, and the trend will continue in 2025 as well. They
help maximize natural light, open up spaces, and offer a panoramic view that
seems endless. These large-sized windows are perfect for modern or contemporary
architecture, creating a larger-than-life feeling. Customers have even explored
heights up to 19 ft.
Uniquely Shaped Windows: Arched,
circular, quarter-circle, or gothic windows add panache and charm, especially to traditional or
transitional-style homes. These uniquely shaped window designs create a focal point and are customized to fit
unique architectural styles.
Slim Frames vs. Robust Frames: The
shift toward minimalist designs has brought slim frames into popularity, though
those who still love solid, well-crafted, and sturdy frames have plenty of
options. Aluminum frames are especially suited for this style.
Fabric Sandwich Glass: This kind of
glass is catching on in popularity and is a favorite of many Instagrammers.
Available in endless designs and color combinations, it lifts the mood and ambience of a
home. It gives a modern and minimalist look.
Smart Automation: When it comes to home automation, windows are also advancing. From openable skylights to automated casement windows, all is possible. Roller shutters, Venetian blinds, and many fenestration products can now be opened or closed with a press of a button.
Color Palette: If you think windows are boring or limited in color options, think again! You can now move beyond shades of white, black, brown, and grey, as uPVC windows are available in trendy, bold colors – from shades of pink to orange, green, and more. Architects now have far more color options to suggest for windows and doors.
In 2025, fenestration will be a blend of technology and design. It will push boundaries, and customers will not only look for materials like uPVC or aluminum but will soon consider premium oak or timber wood, which is termite-resistant and provides excellent insulation. Customers will opt for large floor-to-ceiling windows where space allows, unique shapes, slim or robust frames, and fabric glass, all offering endless possibilities to customize any space. Automation and bold colors further expand creative potential.
