Do Black windows fade in the Texas sun? 

At EcoView Windows and Doors, our black frames are created using Vivid Color™ - one of the first color coating systems that offered water-based, high performance coatings in the industry.   It’s interesting to note that Vivid Color™ Coatings were developed as a result of working on aircraft projects. These aircraft projects proved to provide valuable lessons about durability and colorfastness in extreme and high pressure conditions. It was this path of innovation is what led to utilizing similar technology and understanding to create superior color coatings for the home. 


Many window manufacturers offer black windows made from laminate.  The laminate is applied to the window frame then touched up with paint. Years later after fading the fade on laminate and paint do not match so this process is not perfect.  However, our windows are painted after the window is assembled and painted in a closed chamber like used in auto industry to ensure perfect coverage.   

Our black window frame coatings are water based, and EPA compliant, ensuring that it will maintain its integrity with limited environmental impact – keeping you and your family safe from unnecessary chemicals.  AAMA approved and ASTM tested, our water based paint is the safest high-performance finish you’ll find.
