Anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors: what matters for Dunstable garages
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.
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.

If in doubt, ask Central Bedfordshire Council before ordering.
