Black Wood Windows Add Modern Functionality to Texas Hill Country Home

Nestled in the rolling hills of Central Texas lies Hill Country. Its scenic drives and booming wine country make it a great area to live and enjoy the outdoors. The perfect views and bluebonnet fields create one of the most picturesque regions in the state. With proximity to San Antonio, Hill Country embraces modern homes and buildings in its architecture with a hint of Spanish cultural influences.

To embody both modern functionality and comfort, our team recommended a mix of Pella Lifestyle Series and Reserve products to create a modern flair. To improve energy efficiency, we used various window types including casement and picture windows. For style, black windows stand out against the neutral colors of the landscape in Central Texas and modernize the curb appeal.

The design flexibility of these wood windows allows them to be tailored to the liking of the   homeowners’ needs. To elevate the modern flair, the homeowners picked black which perfectly ties in with the contemporary feel while bringing warmth and natural texture into the home. A black wood stain creates a smooth, satin finish that harmonizes with the interior walls. Dark aluminum cladding is used on the exterior to seamlessly blend in with the stone. The variety of shades available provided multiple options to the homeowners, allowing them to find the perfect stain for their home.

By installing wood windows, our team added more energy-efficient elements to the home. Wood is a natural insulator helping to keep the home cool in summer months alongside air conditioning. With summer weather reaching above 90 degrees daily, it is crucial for the home to stay comfortable. Our wood and casement windows reduce thermal transfer, ensuring the cool air is kept inside.

Our exterior aluminum cladding on the windows protects the integrity of the wood by covering it with a durable material. This feature helps keep the windows guarded against the severe weather and outdoor elements of Texas. Cladding also helps prevent fading which can save the homeowners money on refinishing costs in the future.  

The windows and sliding patio doors feature large glass panes that perfectly frame the breathtaking landscapes of Central Texas. The expansive glass allows the views to be unobstructed and taken in from anywhere in the living room space. Our team achieved more functional spaces with the addition of the sliding patio doors. They enrich the home with more natural light and fresh air. The ability to slide rather than swing open maximizes space efficiency, meeting the homeowner's need for functionality. The scenic panoramas can be enjoyed by the homeowners both inside and outside with the seamless transition from living room sliding doors and large glass pane windows.
