Single-sided or double-sided colour?
When choosing window joinery, it's worth paying attention to the markings associated with the colour scheme. Single-sided colour means that the window profile has a different colour on the outside, while the inside remains white or a different base shade (or vice versa). This is a common choice for buildings with a classic façade where the interiors require a neutral colour scheme. The double-sided colour allows the window to be fully matched to the façade and interior, giving greater design freedom. Such a solution will work well in modern projects, where every detail is carefully planned.
