Anthracite grey sliding doors across Perth and Kinross
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose anthracite grey sliding doors for a home in Perth and Kinross:
If your Perth and Kinross home is close to the sea, washing powder-coated frames more often removes salt deposits and helps the anthracite finish keep its sheen.
If the windows on your Perth and Kinross 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.
- 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.
- Anthracite frames pair well with dark grey handles, interlocks and track covers, giving a coordinated finish where no bright metal parts catch the eye.
- 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.

Daylight and glass in Perth and Kinross
Because Perth and Kinross sees long summer days (about 17 h 44 min) and short winter ones (about 6 h 50 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.

Questions about anthracite grey sliding doors in Perth and Kinross
How soon can you survey in Perth and Kinross?
Surveys in Perth and Kinross are booked at a time that suits you, and we offer survey dates when we reply to your enquiry. After you approve the written quote, manufacture is typically 4–6 weeks after survey sign-off; dual colour can add a little time.
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.
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.
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.
