White foil (grained) uPVC window frames & dirt

Possom

Has anyone here had *white* uPVC foil (i.e. woodgrain effect) uPVC window frames installed?

Does the grain catch dirt? Are these frames more likely to become more visibly dirty compared to plain white uPVC window frames?

Thanks!

We've black foil frames with a woodgrain effect, and we dont notice any particular problem with dirt sticking in the "woodgrain"

Thanks motorguy.

From what I've heard there's no problem with non-white frames. Though, it can show up in white frames.

However, as of yet I'm not sure if this is brand-specific. That is, since some brands may create the grain by slight etching of the frame therefore allowing somewhere for dirt to gather, and perhaps other manufacturers create the grain not by etching but by some other method therefore not catching dirt.
