Choosing a powder-coat colour that lasts

Matt black is everywhere, but will it fade? A quick guide to durable finishes and our 15-year powder-coat warranty.

01

Durability first

Matt black is everywhere right now, but the good news is a quality powder-coat holds its colour for decades. We coat in Dulux Duralloy across eight standard colours, backed by a 15-year finish warranty. Darker shades hold up well when they're specified for the right exposure, which we'll advise on.

Picking a colour

The frame colour ties the whole exterior together, so it's worth getting right. Bring your cladding and roof samples to the showroom and we'll match the joinery so it reads as one considered scheme rather than an afterthought. Aluminium takes powder-coat beautifully and keeps that finish with nothing more than an occasional wash.
