Colours

The colour of your windows and doors can influence the whole look and feel of your home. When selecting the colour for your aluminium joinery there are many factors to consider. At Door + Window Systems we recommend considering the exterior and interior colour scheme of your home when making the decision. Visit our Door + Window Systems showroom in Auckland to see all the colours available and take some samples home to view in different lights.

Tips for choosing joinery colour

  • Compliment the colour of your house, choose a tone a few shades lighter or darker than the cladding
  • Create contrast, dark or black joinery against a light coloured house is very popular
  • Go neutral with white, cream, grey, taupe, black or silver, this will give you flexibility in years to come
  • Choose a unified look by matching your aluminium joinery to the colour of the roof or fascia
  • Create a clean smart exterior, choose the same colour joinery as your house
  • It is difficult to change the colour of aluminium joinery, so it may limit options if you want to change the colour of your house in the future

1. Choose the Right Product

Anodised Colours

Anodising is a durable and colour fast technology that offers an alternative to powdercoating.

Altherm offers matt ‘frost’ finish as standard. When judging colour consistency and integrity of the anodised finish, the accepted industry standard is inspection from a distance of two metres. Some variability of colour can occur and is part of the anodising process. Visible lines in the aluminium on anodised windows and doors are common. Anodised finishes change according to the angle at which they are viewed, ask your manufacturer for an Anodised colour swatch to view in natural light.
