Bronze Exterior Replacement Windows
You have decided on bronze. Now the questions are which lines come in it, what the inside looks like, and what the trim, capping and patio door do to match.
Reply within one business day. Or call / text 763-250-3621.
Bronze exterior replacement windows have a dark brown-black frame outside and white, tan or woodgrain inside, so the house gets a dark window line without a dark room. JMB Builders orders them through ABC Supply in lines that offer bronze as a factory exterior finish, matches the capping, sealant and screen frames, and installs them across the Twin Cities metro. Priced per window. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Bronze outside, white or woodgrain inside
- Capping, caulk and screens matched to bronze
- Patio door available in the same bronze

Bronze is the dark window color that sits between brown and black. Next to brick, cedar, stone, tan stucco and most earth-tone siding it reads as part of the house rather than a hard outline, which is why it is the dark color people pick when black feels too stark. On most lines it is a factory exterior finish on a white vinyl or fiberglass frame, so the room side stays white, tan or a woodgrain laminate and you are not living with dark frames inside.
The color pulls a few other things along with it. The aluminum capping on the exterior trim comes in a bronze that matches closely, the exterior sealant is bronze, screen frames are ordered dark so they do not read as white rectangles, and the patio door is available in the same bronze so the back of the house matches the front. Grilles between the glass take the exterior color on the outside face.
Dark exteriors are a factory option, so bronze windows are custom ordered rather than pulled from stock, and the lead time runs with the line. Vinyl lines use a heat-reflective finish for dark colors; fiberglass takes a dark color without that concern. We tell you which at the estimate.

How it is priced: per window
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Bronze exterior is a color upcharge per window on most lines; vinyl and fiberglass price it differently
- Interior finish: white or tan vs. a woodgrain laminate or a wood interior
- Capping vs. new PVC trim outside, and how much of the old trim is kept
- Grille build and color, matched to the bronze exterior
- A bronze patio door added to the same order
- Insert vs. full frame, and any sill or framing repair
Send a daylight photo of each side of the house. Bronze reads differently against brick, cedar and vinyl siding, and we want to show you the sample against the right wall.
How long it takes
Bronze is a custom-ordered color, so lead time runs with the line. On site one window takes about half a day; a house runs several windows a day.

Situations and options
Bronze vinyl, white inside
The most common build. A white vinyl frame with a factory bronze exterior finish made for sun exposure. The room side is plain white and takes any trim.
Bronze fiberglass, any interior
Fiberglass holds a dark color without a heat-reflective coating and comes with white, painted or wood-veneer interiors. The pick for big south and west windows.
Bronze with woodgrain inside
A bronze exterior with an oak or other woodgrain laminate on the room side, for houses with stained trim that is staying.
Bronze windows and patio door
The slider or French door ordered in the same bronze on the same order, so the back of the house matches the windows beside it.
Bronze Exterior Replacement Windows: questions, answered
Is a bronze exterior on a vinyl window painted or solid color?
It is a factory-applied exterior finish on a white or tan vinyl frame, not a paint you could scratch through on site, and not a solid-color vinyl. The finish is formulated to reflect heat so the frame does not warp in the sun. Fiberglass lines apply a factory coating as well; some aluminum-clad wood lines use a bronze cladding that is colored all the way through.
What color is the inside of a bronze window?
Whatever you order. Most bronze windows are white inside, which suits painted trim. Tan and almond interiors are available on several lines, and woodgrain laminates or real wood interiors are available where the trim is stained. A bronze interior is possible on some lines but is rarely picked.
Does bronze capping match bronze window frames?
Closely. Aluminum trim coil comes in a bronze that sits right beside the window bronze on most lines; in some light one reads a shade warmer than the other. We hold the capping sample against the window sample at the estimate so you see the pair before the order.
Will bronze windows fade?
A factory bronze finish on a modern vinyl or fiberglass line is made for direct sun and holds its color for the life of the window in normal use. Dark colors show chalking or fading sooner than white if the finish is poor, which is why bronze is ordered only on lines that make it as a factory option, never field-painted.
Can I get a bronze patio door to match the windows?
Yes. The slider and hinged patio doors in the same lines come in the same bronze exterior, with a white or matching interior. Ordering the door with the windows puts it on one order so the color batch matches.
Is a bronze exterior window a custom order?
Yes. Stock windows are white. Bronze is a factory finish, so the window is built to your sizes and colors after the order goes in, and the lead time depends on the line. Standard sizes in bronze are not kept on a shelf.
