Are anthracite grey sliding doors right for homes in Angus and Dundee?
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose anthracite grey sliding doors for a home in Angus and Dundee:
If the windows on your Angus and Dundee home are already anthracite, take a photo of the colour label on a frame or the paperwork so the door can be specified to the same RAL number.
For an Angus and Dundee house with white-painted rooms inside, a dual colour frame avoids a heavy grey border around the view while keeping anthracite on the outside.
- A blue-grey tone frames the garden view without the hard contrast of black, so the door reads as part of the elevation rather than a dark outline.
- RAL 7016 is a widely used reference colour for windows and doors, which makes it easier to tie new sliding doors in with existing frames, fascias and garage doors.
- Powder coating is cured in an oven into a continuous film, giving a hard-wearing finish that does not need repainting, only occasional washing with mild soapy water.

Questions about anthracite grey sliding doors in Angus and Dundee
Do I need building approval for anthracite grey sliding doors in Angus and Dundee?
In Scotland a like-for-like replacement door usually needs no building warrant, but must meet the building standards; new openings need a warrant. We confirm the right route for your property at survey, so the paperwork is in place before fitting.
What colour is RAL 7016?
RAL 7016 is anthracite grey, a dark grey with a slight blue undertone. It is one of the most widely specified colours for aluminium and uPVC windows and doors in the UK. On a sliding door it looks lighter in bright daylight and closer to charcoal on an overcast day, so it is worth seeing a physical sample outdoors before deciding.
What is the difference between textured and smooth anthracite?
Textured anthracite has a fine grain you can feel, while smooth anthracite has a flat satin or matt surface. Textured finishes hide fingerprints, light scratches and water marks better and suit doors that get heavy use. Smooth finishes look sleeker and more minimal but show dust and marks more readily. Both are durable powder coatings applied the same way.
Do anthracite grey frames fade?
Good-quality polyester powder coatings are formulated to resist UV fading, so an anthracite frame should keep its colour for many years with routine cleaning. Some gradual change in sheen is normal on very exposed, sunny or coastal elevations. Washing the frames a few times a year removes salt and grime that can dull the finish over time.
