Modern innovation, contemporary style: Fenestration trends for 2025

This story discusses fenestration trends for 2025 and how innovative products and smart automation options will reshape the fenestration industry in the years to come.

Architecture and design have been nothing short of inspiration. Architects have come up with designs that truly resonate with current trends. Clichéd designs are out, and a clear contemporary look is very much in.

For fenestration, architects play an important role, as the designs they implement greatly impact trends and innovation. From large glazing to automation, all can be beautifully implemented.

Floor-to-ceiling windows: The full-height windows we saw were very prominent this year, and the trend will continue in 2025 as well. They help maximise natural light, open up spaces, and offer a panoramic view that seems endless. These large-sized windows are perfect for modern or contemporary architecture, creating a larger-than-life feeling. Customers have even explored heights up to 19 ft.

Uniquely shaped windows: Arched, circular, quarter-circle, or gothic windows add panache and charm, especially to traditional or transitional-style homes. These uniquely shaped window designs create a focal point and are customised to fit unique architectural styles.

Slim frames vs. robust frames: The shift toward minimalist designs has brought slim frames into popularity, though those who still love solid, well-crafted, and sturdy frames have plenty of options. Aluminium frames are especially suited for this style.

Fabric sandwich glass: This kind of glass is catching on in popularity and is a favourite of many Instagrammers. Available in endless designs and colour combinations, it lifts the mood and ambience of a home. It gives a modern and minimalist look.

Smart automation: When it comes to home automation, windows are also advancing. From openable skylights to automated casement windows, all is possible. Roller shutters, Venetian blinds, and many fenestration products can now be opened or closed with a press of a button.

Colour palette: You can now move beyond shades of white, black, brown, and grey as uPVC windows are available in trendy, bold colors—from shades of pink to orange, green, and more. Architects now have far more colour options to suggest for windows and doors.

In 2025, fenestration will be a blend of technology and design. It will push boundaries, and customers will not only look for materials like uPVC or aluminium but will soon consider premium oak or timber wood, which is termite-resistant and provides excellent insulation. Customers will opt for large floor-to-ceiling windows where space allows, unique shapes, slim or robust frames, and fabric glass, all offering endless possibilities to customise any space. Automation and bold colours further expand creative potential.
