Anthracite grey sliding doors across Warwickshire
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.
Choosing a colour for a Warwickshire extension that will be seen from the garden all day? Hold textured and smooth anthracite samples up in daylight before committing to either.
Where a Warwickshire 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Daylight and glass in Warwickshire
Because Warwickshire sees long summer days (about 16 h 48 min) and short winter ones (about 7 h 41 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 14° 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 England
English Building Regulations treat a new or replacement external door in an existing home as a controlled fitting: it needs a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better (or Doorset Energy Rating band C) if more than 60% of it is glazed (Approved Document L), and safety glass in a critical location (Approved Document K). Compliance is arranged through a competent person scheme installer or a Building Control notification, so you get a certificate for your records.
Questions about anthracite grey sliding doors in Warwickshire
How soon can you survey in Warwickshire?
Surveys in Warwickshire 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 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.
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.
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.
