What colours are available?
Ribbed doors come in standard colours such as white and anthracite grey on most ranges, with many RAL colours to order.

What rules apply in Lancashire?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning in Lancashire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Blackburn with Darwen Council and Blackpool Council also cover parts of the area).
