Black Window Replacement Modernizes Oklahoma City Home

When the owners of this Oklahoma City home decided it was time to update their living room windows, they turned to Pella for a modern, durable solution. The project involved replacing the existing windows with sleek black fiberglass single-hung windows, breathing new life into the space while maintaining the home's classic brick exterior.

Selecting the right windows for an Oklahoma City home requires careful consideration of the region's diverse and often extreme weather conditions. Oklahoma City experiences hot summers, cold winters and everything in between — including severe thunderstorms and high winds. For this project, Pella Impervia fiberglass windows were the best choice. Fiberglass offers exceptional strength and durability, making it ideal for withstanding Oklahoma City's temperature fluctuations and severe weather events. It resists warping, rotting and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance in the face of humidity, rain and UV exposure. The single-hung style provides a classic look while offering easy operation and effective ventilation, which is crucial during Oklahoma City's warm months.

One of the challenges of this project was working with the arched window design. To achieve a seamless look, our team used a frame expander and an arch fill-in. This approach allowed us to maintain the architectural integrity of the home while upgrading to more modern, efficient windows. The result is a perfect blend of old and new, respecting the home's original design while enhancing its functionality and aesthetics.

The homeowners opted for black window frames to give their living room a contemporary edge, embracing a trend that's been gaining momentum in recent years. This choice reflects a growing desire among homeowners to update traditional brick exteriors with modern elements.

Black frames create a striking contrast against the warm tones of the brick exterior, adding visual interest and significantly boosting curb appeal. The dark color acts as a bold accent, drawing the eye and creating a focal point that enhances the overall architecture of the home. This contrast is particularly effective in Oklahoma City's abundant natural light, which helps to highlight the crisp lines and sleek profile of the new windows.
