Are anthracite grey sliding doors right for homes in County Antrim?
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose anthracite grey sliding doors for a home in County Antrim:
If the windows on your County Antrim 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.
Choosing a colour for a County Antrim extension that will be seen from the garden all day? Hold textured and smooth anthracite samples up in daylight before committing to either.
- 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.
- Grey sits comfortably with a wide range of materials, from buff and red brick to white render, timber cladding and stone, which keeps future redecorating options open.
- The textured version of anthracite has a fine grain that hides fingerprints, light scuffs and the dust that collects on sills, which suits a busy family kitchen door.

Questions about anthracite grey sliding doors in County Antrim
Is the price different in County Antrim?
The door price is the same as anywhere else. Because County Antrim is covered by arrangement, any travel cost for delivery and fitting is shown in your quote before you order; the survey itself is free.
Can I have anthracite outside and white inside?
Yes, a dual colour frame lets you have anthracite grey outside and white or another colour inside. Thermally broken aluminium frames have separate inner and outer sections joined by an insulating bar, so each side can be powder coated in its own colour before the frame is assembled. Dual colour adds a modest percentage to the price, which your quote shows.
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.
How do I clean anthracite sliding doors?
Wash anthracite frames with warm water, a little mild detergent and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive pads, solvents and strong household cleaners, which can dull or mark the powder coating. Vacuum grit out of the track before wiping it, because dirt in the track wears rollers and makes the door feel stiff to slide.
