When it comes to window finishes, the interior side of a window is just as important as the exterior. The right finish not only enhances the aesthetic of your space but also ties together the overall design style, be it modern, rustic, or traditional. Internorm offers a stunning range of options, from natural timber like spruce and oak to innovative I-tec Decor digital print and foil finishes, allowing you to find the perfect look for your home.
Here is how to make the best choice for your interior windows based on your style and design goals.
Timeless Timber Options: Spruce, Oak, Larch, and Walnut
Natural wood finishes are classic, versatile, and add a touch of warmth to any room. Internorm’s timber-aluminium window and door options include spruce, oak, larch, and walnut, each bringing a unique tone and texture that can enhance different design aesthetics. These finishes can be used for Internorm tilt & turn windows, French doors, large lift & slide doors, as well as XL fixed panorama glazing to make the most of stunning views.
• Spruce: Known for its light colour and fine grain, spruce is ideal for bright, airy interiors. It’s a great choice for minimalist or Scandinavian-inspired designs, where natural materials and soft hues are valued. Spruce adds a touch of understated elegance without overpowering other decor elements. Spruce is also available with a factory paint finish in a colour of your choice.
• Oak: Oak is celebrated for its strength and warm, medium-brown tones that age beautifully over time. This makes it a popular choice in traditional and classic interiors. Oak complements neutral palettes and adds richness, creating a cosy and inviting feel. For modern designs, it pairs wonderfully with black or metallic accents for a balanced look.
• Larch: With its warm, golden hue and unique grain patterns, larch wood adds a touch of sophistication and earthiness to any project. It’s a versatile choice that suits both contemporary and traditional spaces, making it ideal for homeowners who want a classic, adaptable look. Larch adds subtle sophistication and pairs well with various color schemes.
• Walnut: For those seeking a darker, more dramatic finish, walnut is a superb option. Its deep brown tones and rich grain bring a sense of luxury and depth, perfect for more formal spaces or homes with a vintage feel. Walnut can create a striking contrast with lighter wall colors, adding a bold, elegant touch to the room.
Modern I-tec Decor and Foil Finishes
Long gone are the days when the only colour available for uPVC windows was classic white. Internorm’s uPVC-aluminium windows and doors with I-tec Decor and foil finishes cater to those who want to personalise their windows with more contemporary options. I-tec Decor offers digital print finishes that mimic natural wood or add unique patterns, ideal for modern and eclectic styles.
• I-tec Decor Digital Print: This innovative finish allows for an array of textures and effects, from realistic wood grains to abstract patterns. It’s perfect for homeowners who want the look of wood without the maintenance, or for those who want to match a very specific aesthetic. For instance, a concrete-like digital print can add an industrial edge to modern urban spaces.
• Foil Finishes: Foil finishes are incredibly versatile, offering options from classic wood tones to warmth and texture in more traditional rooms, to modern anthracite grey for minimalist and industrial interiors. They provide a durable, low-maintenance surface that complements any style.
Incorporating Georgian Bars for a Classic Touch
Georgian bars add a charming, historic feel to windows, making them a popular choice in traditional style Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian homes. These glazing bars divide the glass into smaller sections, creating a grid-like appearance reminiscent of classic Georgian architecture. Internorm’s Georgian bar options can be customised to suit different grid patterns, allowing you to match existing architectural details or add a touch of nostalgia to a modern home. Watch this case study video of an Edwardian home renovation, where the homeowners wanted to re-create the original window styles from the early 1900s.
Georgian glazing bars work beautifully with timber finishes like oak or walnut, adding authenticity to period-style homes or grounding modern builds with a classic twist. They also pair well with I-tec Decor and foil finishes, allowing you to maintain the charm of traditional design with the durability and versatility of modern materials.
Unlimited RAL Colours for the Exterior
Internorm aluminium clad timber and uPVC windows and doors offer a virtually unlimited choice of colours. Whether you want to choose contemporary anthracite grey or black, softer colours for a sympathetic cottage renovation, or create a statement window with a spash of colour, the choice is yours. For coastal properties, we also offer pre-anodised finishes to prevent corrosion.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Space
Selecting the perfect interior window finish depends on your home’s design style and your personal taste. For modern and minimalist interiors, spruce or I-tec Decor finishes in subtle shades or concrete-inspired textures can enhance clean lines and open spaces. For rustic or farmhouse styles, natural wood like oak or walnut adds warmth and an earthy feel, creating a comforting, lived-in look. Meanwhile, for traditional and heritage designs, incorporating Georgian bars with oak, spruce, larch, or walnut finishes offers a timeless, elegant appearance that feels authentic and sophisticated. With Internorm’s bespoke window and doors solutions, you can let your creativity free reign.
