Anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Our coloured sectional door service covers Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: Aberdeen, Peterhead, Inverurie and Fraserburgh, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
Coloured sectional garage doors are sectional doors finished in a colour other than the standard white, from the popular anthracite grey (RAL 7016) to black, greens, blues and creams, so the door can match windows, front doors and cladding. Most ranges offer a short list of preferred colours and a wide RAL palette to order.

What should you know about coloured sectional doors in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
Will a dark colour fade or move?
All exterior coatings weather. Dark colours absorb more heat, and some manufacturers limit dark colours on certain sizes or recommend specific panel types for sunny elevations. We check the rules for your door.
Why is anthracite grey so popular?
Anthracite grey matches the dark grey windows and doors fitted to many UK homes in recent years. It looks modern, hides dirt well and suits brick, render and cladding.
Can the inside be a different colour?
The inside of most doors is a standard white or light grey finish. Some ranges offer the outside colour on both faces at extra cost.
Which options can you choose?
- Anthracite RAL 7016The classic dark grey.
- Heritage coloursGreens, blues and creams.
- Two-sided colourOutside colour on both faces on some ranges.
- Black and dark greysRAL 9005 and similar.
How much does a coloured sectional door cost in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
Guide price: £2,095–£2,995 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
What rules apply in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire include Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council.
