Contemporary windows: these are the trends for 2024

Large glass surfaces, layered designs, smooth-running elements 
In terms of shape, different aspects are trending in 2024. Large windows give the façade a contemporary look. They allow a comprehensive view of the outside and increase the well-being in the interiors through more light and transparency.  
In keeping with the spirit of the times, narrow face widths are also in keeping with the spirit of the times. They further emphasise the maximum proportion of glass in the window and ensure a simple and clear design language on both sides. 
Sliding systems are also one of the characteristic stylistic elements of modern living. The ease of movement of the movable elements and the space-saving comfort play a major role in this.  

 
Courage to use window frames with coloured surfaces 
In 2024, windows will increasingly serve as an aesthetic eye-catcher in the exterior of buildings and no longer just as an obligatory component of the façade. For this reason, architects, planners and builders are increasingly choosing coloured windows.  
These can either be designed in the same tone on both sides or combine a timeless white on the inside with a colourful design on the outside.   
The GEALAN-acrylcolor^® surface technology opens up an enormous amount of design freedom. In terms of design, it impresses with its comprehensive range of colours, and over its decades of use with its ease of care, weather resistance and scratch resistance. 

 
The trend colours for your windows  
Metallic tones such as pearl beige, bronze or gold ensure permanently shiny views.  
Supplemented by individual colourful furnishings in nostalgic colours such as fiery red or deep midnight blue, the metallic look creates a noble living atmosphere.

Dark window frames also continue to be in vogue. In addition to the already quite common anthracite shades, the demand for fashionable black designs is increasing. In combination with light colours, the dark profiles skilfully set accents, paired with equally dark furniture, creating a harmonious and minimalist overall picture.  

 
In 2024, different, mostly darker wood tones that radiate a lot of warmth will not only create a homely atmosphere for furniture, but will also give rooms a timeless liveliness via the windows.  

Due to their timeless simplicity and the resulting unlimited combinability, white window frames remain in vogue again this year.  

The trend is towards window subsidies 
Not only in terms of design, but also in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, windows are an important piece of the puzzle in new construction, conversion or renovation. New PVC windows, which meet high demands on thermal insulation, significantly increase energy efficiency in the building. Their installation is eligible for funding under certain conditions.
