SAVING FOR A GREY DAY: The rise of Anthracite Grey

10th August 2018

You don't have to move house to move with the times.

When thinking of updating our homes in Edinburgh and the Lothians, windows, doors and conservatories can often be forgotten about in the mix. Outdated or poorly fitted UPVC windows and doors can easily detract from even the most grand of homes, often spoiling the look and feel of what is in essence, the first point of contact for anyone visiting and where most will take their first impression of a property.

These days, it's not just about picking the right style of window, door or conservatory. UPVC products are now readily available in a wide palette of colour finishes, ranging from the more traditional wood styles of Rosewood and Oak, right through to more contemporary colours such as Anthracite Grey.

The introduction of colour really can transform the look and feel of any building and the use of a colour like Anthracite Grey can pull a tired looking property into 2021.

Below, we outline a few examples of where Anthracite Grey products haver been introduced to homes to bring a truly modern feel.

BI-FOLD DOORS

Already contemporary in it's design and styling, Bi-Fold doors give a real feel of modern living to any space. As homes move ever closer to incorporating open plan spaces throughout, Bi-Fold doors help open up spaces, both internally and to the outdoors. Selecting Anthracite Grey as a colour option on only further adds to the modern feel of this already stylish product.

DESIGNER CONSERVATORIES

Incorporating a colour like Anthracite Grey with the more traditional conservatory styles of say a Victorian or Edwardian gives you the best of both worlds; maintaining the grandeur of the classic stylings but with a sleek and modern feel of a more contemporary build. The neutrality of the colour also allows greater scope when decorating the space, everything goes with grey!
