From an architectural point of view the worst thing about modern fenestration (ooh get me) in most residential building is the total disregard for proper/attractive proportion; to the building, to other windows in the same elevation and even to themselves. most modern windows have frames which are of the same sized extrusion regardless of window size. Usually in white UPVC.
Yuk.
Just look at the simple but beautiful proportion of a Regency facade with its elegant sparce rational geometry, mostly communicated by window size and proportion.
