What should Consett homeowners know about cassette sectional doors?

Which colours suit a cassette door?

White is the classic choice, with cream, heritage greens, blues and woodgrain effects popular on period homes.

Why pick a cassette design?

Cassettes break the door into a grid, which echoes panelled front doors and sash windows. On a traditional house, a cassette door looks at home in a way a plain ribbed door sometimes does not.

  • Woodgrain textureAdds a painted-timber feel.
  • Heritage coloursMany RAL colours to order.
  • Window cassettesGlazed inserts in the top row on some ranges.
