Thinking about a new aluminium door but not sure which colour to choose? From timeless greys to bold, contemporary finishes, the right shade can completely transform the look of your home.
Here’s what we’re seeing across the North East in 2025.
Why Aluminium Doors Use RAL Colours
Unlike timber or uPVC, aluminium doors are powder-coated using a RAL colour system — a standardised palette of over 200 shades. This gives you precision, durability, and serious flexibility.
Top Trends We’re Seeing in 2024:
- Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) – Still the most popular choice for a modern, minimal finish.
- Black (RAL 9005) – Sleek and bold, especially when paired with brick or white render.
- White (RAL 9016) – A clean, classic look that won’t date.
- Navy Blue & Forest Green – On the rise for statement doors and cottage-style homes.
- Textured finishes – Subtle grain or matte textures are now more in demand than gloss.

Matching Your Door to Your Home
- Already have grey aluminium windows? Stick to the same tone for a consistent, premium feel.
- For red brick houses, darker colours like black or brown often work better than stark white.
- Rendered or modern builds tend to suit bolder choices like grey, blue, or even bronze.
What’s Popular in the North East?
In areas like Washington, South Tyneside, and Durham, we’re seeing a clear trend toward greys and blacks — particularly for new builds, extensions, and rear garden bi-folds.
Homeowners are going for timeless over trendy, but adding texture to stand out.
