That’s right, black is the latest colour trend for windows & doors, fast over-taking grey as the most popular colour choice.
But whilst it’s true that black front doors have become vastly more popular in recent years due to the rise in industrial architecture, for centuries black has always been a go-to classic. Which means quite simply, this isn’t a fad – and your black front door won’t date or go out of style.
Just like that ‘little black dress’, a black front door is flattering on just about any style of property. It sits perfectly against everything from light, red or dark brick to stone, render or cladding. Depending on your choice of door style, your black front door can be elegant, classic or super contemporary to compliment the look of your home.
Black Composite Doors
For added strength and security, a composite door is the most popular go-to choice for home owners when replacing their front door. Featuring a super-tough 44mm core, a composite door will keep the warmth in and intruders out.
We offer a huge range of colour choices, which mostly feature a woodgrain effect for a timber-like appearance. For a strong door like this, a strong colour is needed and the strongest finish of all is black! For a perfect, elegant finish.
Black Aluminium Doors
A black front door showcased in aluminium really comes into its own. Smooth, stylish and contemporary, the powder coated finish creates a rich, exuberant colour that won’t fade over time. Featuring slimmer frames, you have the flexibility to incorporate more glass into your design for added natural light into your hallway.
With a black aluminium door, you have an almost endless selection of design choices – so be prepared to get creative and let your imagination run wild. Choose from one of our most popular designs or create something truly bespoke to you.
Black UPVC Doors
Simple, reliable and energy efficient, a UPVC front door is a practical option for any home, and works perfectly in black. Its weather resistant colour finish prevents the need for any repainting or upkeep. If you’re considering black windows for your home, then you’ll also be sure of a perfect match against your frames for a seamless finish.
Keep your home comfortably warm and energy efficient, whilst adding instant curb appeal.
What hardware suits a black door?
If you choose a black front door, let the black do the talking – think about how you want your hardware to look against the darker backdrop. Darker-coloured hardware can get lost in a black door design, which on the right slab can look great. Whereas silver hardware will pop from it quite beautifully.
Try bookending the design with some sidelights, and when selecting a handle, choose something that is consistent in style with the lock, hinges, knocker, letterplate etc.
Should I choose a matching frame?
A matching black frame (and side lights if you have them) can make your opening look larger and finish the look perfectly. Even if your windows are white, a black frame around your door can really work – its worth asking one of our design consultants what it might look like on an image of your home.
