Anthracite grey sliding doors across Staffordshire
Most homeowners choosing anthracite grey sliding doors want the same things: more light, a clear view and a door that is easy to live with.
Where a Staffordshire property has red brick, anthracite frames usually look softer than black while still giving a modern contrast, so it is worth comparing samples against the wall itself.
If the windows on your Staffordshire 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Approvals in England
In England, a replacement sliding door is a controlled fitting under the Building Regulations. In an existing home, a door with more than 60% glazing must reach a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better (or a Doorset Energy Rating of band C) under Approved Document L, and glass in doors must be safety glazing under Approved Document K. We arrange compliance through a competent person scheme installer or by notifying Building Control, and you receive the certificate.
Questions about anthracite grey sliding doors in Staffordshire
How soon can you survey in Staffordshire?
Surveys in Staffordshire 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.
Is anthracite grey more expensive than white?
On our aluminium doors anthracite grey is a standard colour, so a single-colour anthracite door normally costs the same as white. A dual colour frame, or a non-standard RAL shade, adds to the price. The guide price for a 2.4 m two-panel aluminium door is £4,295–£5,295, fitted, inc VAT at standard 2.1 m height.
