Choosing a Coloured Powder Coated Finish

Grey powder coated aluminium is a great choice of colour for bifolding doors, and indeed is one of the most popular choices.  Not only does grey help create a contemporary looking set of doors, but it also offsets existing white aluminium or PVCu windows quite well.  The other advantage of grey powder coated aluminium doors and windows is that they complement modern decor, flooring, outside paving slabs, decking and tiles.

There are 37 different shades of Grey available in a standard RAL colour chart for aluminium windows and doors. Ranging from virtually white colours with a hint of grey in RAL 7035 and RAL 7047 right up to the very dark greys available in RAL 7016 and RAL 7021 there is a huge amount of choice.

Whilst Grey aluminium is popular, it may not suit every type of home.

At Frameless Glass Curtains, we have installed our sleek, elegant and frameless bifolding doors in a wide variety of properties.  From the ultra modern self build home to the smaller terraced property that needs more light and space our doors are absolutely ideal.  We even have a range of frameless doors that are great for entrance doors and inside the home as room dividers.

The contemporary Grey may not be to everyones liking and may not suit a particular property. With the benefit of over 200 colours available in aluminium that you won’t find with PVCu windows or doors there is no reason why you cannot have the colour you want in your home.  And even if you want a different colour inside and out, we can help.

Brown powder coated doors are great for barns, older properties and countryside properties.

Frameless Glass Curtains recently installed a set of four pane bifolding doors to a wonderful country property in Chesterfield. This particular property featured a lot of dark colours in its construction and outside spaces.  For example there was an existing brown lean to conservatory, timber windows and dark tiles to the roof.  Outside the patio area was a dark terracotta colour with dark varnish to the decking.  Additionally, there were dark fascias to the home and the walls were clad with stone.  In this type of property, whilst grey powder coated doors could be installed a shade of brown seemed the more logical choice.

RAL 8017 was the chosen RAL colour.  This is actually a very popular shade of brown that is widely used in many types of properties.  With 19 possible brown combinations to choose from it was important to select the right shade to blend in with the overall appearance of the property and of course it’s existing doors and windows.

We installed our contemporary glass doors powder coated in RAL 8017 matt and as you can see, whilst these are super slim, frameless and contemporary bifolding and sliding doors you will agree they work brilliantly in this older type of property in the country.

Our four pane doors feature the access leaf which as you can see enables the homeowner to access the garden quickly when needed without having to slide all the doors back.  The addition of our glass handle further adds to the comfort in using the doors and helps retain the minimalist appearance.

These doors feature our exclusive high specification double glazed units, sophisticated design to keep the weather out and the inside of the home comfortable thanks to clever engineering, exceptional manufacturing and high quality components.  Of course, peace of mind comes from the high security offered by our multi point locking systems.

Let us help you find your ideal doors, whatever your property.

Delighted with the new doors – they have exceeded our expectations. Customer service from initial contact to installation was excellent. Staff are professional, helpful and friendly. Would recommend.   We would like to be on your list of completed installations as viewing the doors at Weymouth was so helpful in making the decision to order from you.

Unit has been replaced thank you, once again I find FGC have responded to a problem with a no quibble replacement, it is good to know that there is still companies left who honour their guarantee in the proper manner and send installation teams that carry out their work in a professional manner with competence and courtesy, I would be quite willing to give any prospective customers a reference if that would be of interest

We had been looking for ages for the solution to fill two large spaces leading from the house to our new Orangery. From the moment Gary showed us the product at Partridge Farm we knew it was just what we wanted. A year later and we are still delighted. We broke one of the glass handles the other day and they have just left after fixing a replacement FOC. Hows that for service?

The installation of our new doors was eagerly awaited and did not disappoint. The fitters arrived on time on the agreed installation date. All waste was removed and the installation area was left clean and tidy. The fitters demonstrated the use of the system including future self maintenance which was very useful. We are extremely pleased with the doors – they look fabulous and have opened up the lounge into the garden. Even when closed

I just wanted to follow up as I was in the gallery this morning.  The guys were brilliant, on time, tidy, efficient and they fitted the door perfectly. We are very pleased  

We have patio doors and a large matching picture window, these are well designed, manufactured and installed and are noticed and acknowledged by all visitors to our house. The customer service is also excellent so highly recommend these products and

We are delighted with our FGC doors even though the construction of the room is still not yet completed – friends and family visiting our new Garden Room are all commenting vey positively on how amazing the doors look. With the beautiful summer we are having, it is a real pleasure to be able to open up the whole of the front of the room, enjoy the garden and let in the warm summer breeze.

As to how we were from initial contact (were we polite)? Yes a bit abrupt especially the on site visit. Arranging installation (were we on time and on schedule) Excellent. Were we clean and tidy? Good but the windows were left uncleaned so difficult to check for scratches. VG at organising a company to deal with the scratches + v good service from scratch man. And finally are you pleased with our doors (would you

We are delighted with the end-resulting porch and it is achieving exactly what we wanted from it. We have also had several very positive comments from visitors, etc – which is very gratifying. We have also been impressed with the attitude and approach of all the company employees we have
