Choosing the Right Colour for Your Property
The colour of a roller garage door has a noticeable effect on the front of a property. A well-chosen colour can complement existing brickwork, window frames and roofing, while an ill-matched shade can look out of place. Rollrite bring physical colour samples to every free survey so you can hold the actual finish against your property before committing.
For modern properties and new-build homes across Essex, anthracite grey and black are the most popular choices. These dark, neutral tones pair well with grey window frames and contemporary brickwork. Slate grey and agate grey offer slightly lighter alternatives for homeowners who want a modern look without going fully dark.
Traditional and period properties often suit warmer tones. Golden oak woodgrain is a popular choice for homes where a timber-look door complements the character of the building without the maintenance that real wood requires. Dark brown, cream and ivory also work well on older properties with warm-toned brickwork.
White remains the single most common roller garage door colour. It suits a wide range of property styles and pairs with virtually any colour scheme. As a standard colour, it also carries no surcharge. If you are replacing an existing white garage door, a white roller door provides a clean, updated look that blends seamlessly.
Woodgrain Finishes
Rollrite offer two woodgrain finishes - Golden Oak in The Classics range and Walnut in the Designer Range. These finishes feature an embossed wood-effect texture on the surface of the aluminium slats, giving the door a realistic timber appearance from the street.
Unlike real timber garage doors, woodgrain roller doors require no painting, staining or varnishing. The finish is factory-applied and colour-fast, so it will not fade, peel or weather in the same way that painted timber can. The aluminium construction also means the door will not warp, rot or swell with changes in temperature and moisture.
Woodgrain finishes carry a surcharge over the standard door price. Golden Oak is available at an additional 30 pounds and Walnut at an additional 30 pounds. Exact pricing for your door size and specification is confirmed during the free survey.

Every colour in the Rollrite range is available on the roller garage door cost calculator, where you can build a quote based on your preferred slat profile, size and colour. The calculator shows the exact surcharge for each colour so there are no surprises.

Can I see colour samples before ordering?
Yes. Rollrite bring physical colour samples to every free on-site survey so you can see the actual finish against your brickwork and property exterior. This is the best way to judge how a colour will look on your home, as screen colours can vary from the real finish.
What is a woodgrain finish on a roller garage door?
Woodgrain finishes replicate the appearance of natural timber on the surface of the aluminium slats. Golden Oak and Walnut are the two woodgrain options available. The texture is embossed into the slat surface, giving a realistic wood-look appearance while retaining all the benefits of aluminium - low maintenance, no rotting and no need for painting or staining.
Can I have different colours for the door and the top box?
Yes. The door curtain, top box and guide runners can be specified in different colours. For example, you might choose an anthracite grey door curtain with a white top box and white guide runners. The four trim colour options are white, dark brown, black and anthracite grey. Your colour preferences are discussed during the free survey.
