Painswick Windows: Colour, Styles and Current Lead Times
Painswick windows offer a soft grey-green finish that suits traditional, period and contemporary homes. The colour has become one of Timberlook’s most popular choices because it provides a softer alternative to darker grey window frames.
This guide explains what Painswick looks like, how it compares with Agate Grey and RAL 7038, the Timberlook window styles available and the current manufacturing and delivery times.

What colour is Painswick?
Painswick is a muted grey-green window colour. Its appearance can change slightly according to the natural light, surrounding brickwork and nearby colours. In brighter daylight, its soft green undertone may appear more noticeable. In shaded areas, it can look closer to a warm, neutral grey.
The understated finish works particularly well with red brick, natural stone, cream render and traditional exterior details. It can also provide a softer contrast than anthracite or black windows.
Is Painswick the same as Agate Grey or RAL 7038?
Painswick is frequently compared with Agate Grey and RAL 7038 because the colours belong to a similar grey-green colour family. RAL 7038 is officially named Agate Grey, but Painswick should not be treated as a guaranteed exact match.
The appearance of a colour can vary between painted surfaces and woodgrain-effect uPVC foil. Texture, material, sheen, daylight and screen settings can all affect how the finished colour looks. If Painswick windows need to coordinate with paintwork, doors or other exterior features, compare physical samples before placing an order.
Painswick vs Pebble Grey windows
Painswick has a noticeable grey-green character, while Pebble Grey provides a warmer and more neutral finish. Painswick often suits country-style homes, red brick and natural stone. Pebble Grey may suit projects that need a lighter neutral without as much of a green undertone.
Both colours can look different in direct sunlight and shade, so the best choice will depend on the property and its surroundings. You can learn more in our guide to Pebble Grey windows.
Which Timberlook products are available in Painswick?
Painswick is available across the full Timberlook offering. This includes flush sash windows, other products within the Timberlook window range and coordinating Timberlook doors.
Product suitability and the available configurations will depend on the dimensions, opening style, glazing and technical requirements of the property. These details can be checked when a quotation is prepared.
For homes in conservation areas, planning decisions remain the responsibility of the relevant local authority. Timberlook can provide product specifications and supporting information for an application. Visit our conservation information for further guidance.
Painswick interior and exterior colour combinations
Painswick windows can be ordered in several popular colour combinations:
- Painswick on White: A Painswick exterior with a white interior.
- Painswick both sides: Painswick on the exterior and interior.
- Painswick on Polar: A Painswick exterior paired with Timberlook’s Polar interior finish.
White and warm-white interiors can keep rooms feeling light, while Painswick on both sides provides a coordinated finish. Natural, earthy interior colours and materials also work well with Painswick and can support a traditional country-style appearance.
These popular combinations are currently held in stock, so choosing a dual-colour option does not normally add to the standard lead time.
Are Painswick windows currently in stock?
Yes. Timberlook currently holds Painswick profiles in stock. The usual manufacturing or delivery time is approximately three to four weeks, although the final timescale depends on the glass and window specification.
Lead glass, internal Georgian bars and astragal bars can affect production time. Astragal bars normally add approximately one additional week. The expected timescale should be confirmed when the order is quoted because availability and production schedules can change.
Can I request a Painswick colour sample?
Yes. Timberlook can post a colour swatch and brochure to help homeowners compare Painswick with other finishes. A rough profile or trim offcut measuring approximately 150mm may also be available when a larger sample is needed.
The offcut is supplied as a practical colour reference rather than a finished display sample. It allows the colour to be viewed against the property’s brickwork, stone, render and interior finishes in natural light.
Request a Painswick colour sample or find a Timberlook installer.
Prefer a darker window colour?
Homeowners looking for a stronger contemporary finish can also consider Ulti-Matt Black windows. This latest Timberlook finish provides a darker alternative to the softer grey-green appearance of Painswick.
