Anthracite grey sliding doors across Fife
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose anthracite grey sliding doors for a home in Fife:
Choosing a colour for a Fife extension that will be seen from the garden all day? Hold textured and smooth anthracite samples up in daylight before committing to either.
If the windows on your Fife 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.
- Dual colour lets you keep anthracite on the outside for kerb appeal while choosing white or a soft neutral inside, so the frame suits the room you see every day.
- 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.
- 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.

Daylight and glass in Fife
Because Fife sees long summer days (about 17 h 40 min) and short winter ones (about 6 h 55 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 10° in winter, a south-facing door brings light well into the room; a west-facing door catches hot late-afternoon sun in summer.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, replacing a door like for like in a house does not usually need a building warrant, but the new door must still meet the Scottish building standards for energy and safety. Forming or widening an opening is different: that needs a building warrant from the council before work starts.

Will anthracite aluminium match my anthracite uPVC windows?
It should be close, but it may not be identical. uPVC windows usually get their colour from a laminated foil, while aluminium is powder coated, so the texture and sheen can differ even when both are RAL 7016. Lighting also affects how each looks. Bringing a sample from the door to the window is the most reliable check.
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.
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.
