How Black compares to other neutral tones for half-glazed uPVC Back Doors
Neutral and dark, our Half Flat Panel Black uPVC Back Doors can help your home to stand out - but how does Black compare to other neutral tones? To understand this, we need to look at:
- Black itself: A stark, contrasting finish
- Anthracite Grey: Our darkest grey
- Agate Grey: A lighter grey finish
- White: Bright, and our cheapest option
Our Black uPVC Door finish
In short: Our darkest finish, RAL 9017 to be precise.
Description: Dark finishes are associated with formality, and Black provides a truly commanding presence. It works well with simple styles, like the Black Half Glass Plastic Clear/Pattern uPVC Door, for modern appeal, or with more classical designs, like the Edinburgh Half Clear/Pattern Glass Back Door, or a combination of modern and traditional, in the Black Box Lead Design Back door. Black is perfect for creating contrast with lighter buildings, and for matching dark surrounds, helping to give your home a dramatic look that stands out.
uPVC in Anthracite Grey
What is it: A dark grey for modern homes, RAL 7016.
Description: A popular finish associated with contemporary door styles. Anthracite Grey shares the darkness and formality of black, but is more subtle than the latter. Half-glazed doors in this finish, like our Half Flat Panel Anthracite Grey uPVC Back Doors, have a more blended look than one of starkness and striking appearance.
Our lighter Agate Grey
What is Agate: A softer grey, RAL 7038.
Description: Not as dark as Black or Anthracite Grey, Agate Grey is a light and soft finish, more suited for subtlety, whilst still maintaining a neutral tone. Half-glazed doors, like our Half Flat Panel Agate Grey uPVC Back Doors would be suited for this purpose.
White for uPVC Doors
In brief: The lightest and cheapest of our neutral tones.
Description: White half-glazed doors, like our Half Flat Panel White uPVC Back Doors, are the antithesis of Black doors, having a bright look of newness but lacking the commanding tone associated with darker finishes.
In conclusion, Black half-glazed uPVC Doors offer a formal tone that stands out and contrasts well with lighter homes. Anthracite Grey provides much of the same, but is more subdued, while Agate Grey and White prove to be softer and less imposing tones for doorways.
