Black roller garage doors
Made to measure at our factory in Sunderland, on the 55mm or 77mm insulated aluminium profile. Black is one of our four standard colours, so it costs no more than any other.
Why choose black?
Black sits at the other end of the scale from white, but it's just as easy to place. It works with red brick, render in most shades, and timber cladding, and it pairs naturally with black window frames, fascias and trim, which have become the standard finish on new build estates over the last decade.
A colour with character
Henry Ford’s old line about the Model T, “any colour so long as it’s black,” had nothing to do with taste. Black paint dried fastest on the production line, so that’s what nearly every car got.
Black doesn’t have that excuse here. It’s one of four standard colours alongside white, anthracite grey and dark brown, and it costs no more than the others. If you’re choosing it, it’s because you want it, not because it’s the only option on the shelf.
Some customers use black deliberately on a standalone garage or a side entrance with no other windows or doors nearby. There’s nothing else on that wall for it to clash with, so it works as its own statement rather than something that needs to match the house.
RAL 9005, jet black. A true black with a light satin sheen on the powder coat rather than a dark grey or blue black undertone.

Why consider a black roller garage door?
Colour matching, maintenance, and availability at a glance.
Black works with red brick, render in most shades, and timber cladding. It matches black window frames, fascias and downpipes, now the standard trim colour on most new build estates, and it works just as well on its own where there’s no other joinery nearby to match.
Black takes on more heat from direct sun than white or anthracite grey. The aluminium profile is built to expand and contract with temperature, so this doesn’t cause warping, but the surface will feel warmer to the touch on a hot day. Black also hides mud, tyre marks and general grime better than white, though dust and water marks can show up more clearly in bright light.
Black doesn’t stand out from the street the way white does, but it still looks sharp once it’s fitted. Darker colours read as more solid and harder to get into, even though the lock and construction are identical across every colour we offer. If you want a door that looks understated rather than eye catching, black does that without looking plain.
Available on both the 55mm insulated aluminium profile and the 77mm insulated aluminium profile. Included in the standard colour tier, so no colour premium on either profile.
