You may be undecided between two colours, or you may have no idea what colour to look for, but are in need of a new door for your home? In this blog, we will break down colour options – highlighting ways they can be used to compliment your home, and even the symbolism behind some of them.

What are your colour options?

UPVC external doors come in 8 options, while our composites are available in over 20 by default. Colours can be applied to the frame*, as well as to the inside of each door.

I need to match my surround

With an array of colour options, it is certainly possible to match a door to your surround.

Our UPVC frames can easily match modern windows, which tend to be UPVC too

Profiles match existing UPVC windows

UPVC is a common material for windows nowadays, due to its low cost and longevity. Our UPVC doors use the same profile, meaning they can be matched easily with your windows.

We use RAL and British Standard colours

Our composite and UPVC external doors use RAL and British Standard colours, common with many households. Therefore, if you have windows or surround painted in a RAL colour, chances are you’ll either be able to match a door from one of our existing finishes, or for composite have it bespoke-coloured from the wide library of RAL colours.

The frame doesn’t have to be white

The frame may be white as standard, but it can be matched to your door’s finish. Not only that, we can even make the frame an entirely different colour from the door, such as a white door with black frame.

I want to set a tone

Colours can affect the aura of your home, and some finishes work especially well with particular door styles.

One door brings wealth; one door shows it. You'd be surprised what colours can do.

Red and blue are popular for traditional doors – and even beneficial

Blue is a timeless finish that proves popular with homeowners across the UK. Not only is it good for traditional doors, but it has been known to boost the value of a property.

Red is another choice for its compliment to traditional styles. In fact, in Scotland a red door traditionally signifies that the homeowner has paid off their mortgage – and has been believed to ward off supernatural beings!

Black and other dark finishes offer formality

A black door can give your home a commanding presence, whereas aubergine and green add a spot of colour whilst remaining formal. Anthracite grey and slate are particularly popular finishes for modern styles.

Light and pastel finishes offer calm

Ideal for those not wanting an overpowering doorway, lighter finishes are subtle and calming. They work well for rural and seaside homes, from the earthy olive to duck egg blue.

White for a clean look

While it may not be fancy, white makes for a versatile option, capable of being subtle or striking, and overall bright in tone.

Woodgrain for that natural look

Our woodgrains are designed to mimic the appearance of wood, without the same level of upkeep. Natural-looking and traditional, our woodgrains are a good choice to match wooden surrounds.

Bespoke to be specific

You may know exactly what you want, and wish to try a very specific colour from the RAL palette.

From formal black to bold heather, our doors come in many finishes - even RAL 1206 (Luminous Yellow)!

What about glass?

While the majority of our styles consist of etched designs, and those with lead or clear bevels, we do offer coloured glass for some of our doors.

Lead and bevels for traditional, etched for modern

Our lead and bevel glass designs are typically associated with traditional door styles, while modern doors are often complimented with those featuring sandblast with etched lines.

Glass with coloured foil

The Sextet glass sub-range consists of lead diamonds with coloured foil in Black, Blue, Green or Red. The 1930s style London composite door includes similar lead-and-foil designs – the Hansen, Oasis and Opus, perfectly evoking the look of that era.

Glass with coloured bevels

Some of our composite styles can have the glass designs of Bellini or Cavana, featuring colourful bevels set against contemporary patterns etched within sandblast. Variants include Red, Green, Blue and Black for each of these glass designs.

Glass with coloured bars

The half-glazed UPVC doors and Fully Glazed style come with options for Edwardian Bar and Georgian Bar. These consist of crossing bars within the glass matched to the finish of the door, available in White, Rosewood or Golden Oak.
