Choosing frame colours and handles

Frame colour changes the whole look of a house. Here's how to choose with confidence.

White

Clean, classic and suits nearly every property. White frames with white or chrome handles are the most popular combination in the UK.

Anthracite grey

A modern favourite that works well on contemporary homes and renovations. It pairs nicely with black handles.

Golden oak

A woodgrain-effect finish that gives the warmth of timber without the maintenance. It suits cottages, period homes and anywhere wood already features.

Tips

• Look at the whole street. Especially in conservation areas, check what fits in — and whether permission is needed.
• Match your doors. If you're replacing doors too, choose frame colours together.
• Inside and out. In our designer you can flip between the outside and inside view to see your choice from both sides.
• See it in real life. Screen colours vary. Ask us if you'd like to see a sample before ordering.
