Brown versus white UPVC windows

Just give me a rough idea here - how much more expensive do brown UPVC windows cost versus the white ones? Talking about a small semi-detached house here.

I'm thinking a few grand more. Any ideas?

    Almost double my double glazing guy said! I think he was trying to discourage me, but it certainly is a lot more.

    One cheaper option is to have brown upvc sills and the windows white.

  • Brilliant thanks for such a quick response Silvercar - I thought it'd be at least half as much again for brown. White it is then! :D

    Brown windows from a cheap place will be cheaper than white windows from an expensive place.

    Depends on the house to be fair, white ones look hideous on some houses

    Sorry didn't mean to offend, but I always assumed they were cheaper as they don't look as good as the white ones in my humble opinion. But waht do I know!
