Colin’s Sash Windows, a well-known UK supplier of windows and doors, has published a new trend report forecasting that steel-look and heritage-inspired styles will take centre stage in American home renovation projects in 2026.
The findings, which examine both UK and U.S. market activity, point to rising interest in black-framed glazing, Crittall-style interior doors, and period-style windows. Long favoured in London lofts and historic British properties, these designs are now being embraced across the United States by homeowners seeking a blend of European elegance and modern practicality.
“We’ve seen a huge rise in interest for steel-look and heritage designs among American homeowners, particularly in urban areas where lofts, brownstones, and townhouses are being renovated,” said Colin Greenslade, Founder of Colin’s Sash Windows. “Our British heritage gives us a unique perspective on these styles, and we’re excited to share that design expertise with the U.S. market.”
The report identifies several design trends expected to shape U.S. renovations in 2026:
- Steel-look internal glazed doors creating openness in modern interiors.
- Black-framed windows offering bold architectural contrast.
- Traditional sash-style windows updated with energy-efficient glazing.
- Heritage aluminium external doors delivering slim sightlines with durability.
Known for craftsmanship and reliability in the UK and Ireland, Colin’s Sash Windows has expanded into the U.S. to meet growing demand for heritage-inspired glazing. American homeowners, architects, and interior designers now have access to a supplier that blends authentic British design heritage with the energy standards and performance modern U.S. projects demand.
