Coloured uPVC front doors: Style options, finishes and trends

Front doors are perfect for giving off a strong first impression, with the colour you choose playing a key part in that. Whether you want to express your love for nature with a woodgrain effect, replicate the famous colours of Totterdown, or simply blend in, picking the right finish is vital.

A coloured uPVC front door is a fantastic choice for Bristol homeowners for a number of reasons, not just the look. As a material, uPVC is long-lasting, low maintenance and offers excellent thermal performance, it’s a great way to lower energy bills.

In this blog though, we are indeed focusing on finishes that are available to you with your new entrance door. At Associated Windows, we’re proud to offer a huge range of over 200 colours for you to choose from, ranging from classic whites to modern favourites like anthracite grey, duck egg blue, chartwell green, and of course those beautiful woodgrain effects.  These doors don’t just look great, they also come with advanced security features, energy-efficient profiles and a multi-year guarantee, giving you confidence alongside style.

Whether you’re looking for something modern to match your harbourside apartment, a standout shade for your Southville flat, or a safe choice for a St George’s new build, we’ll guide you through popular colours, finishes and design trends.

Design inspiration for your new uPVC front door

uPVC front doors from Associated Windows are available in any uPVC colour you can imagine as we offer the full spectrum of 200+ RAL finishes with our bespoke installations, so the choice is truly yours. Whether you prefer a subtle neutral, a statement grey or a timeless woodgrain effect, there is a solution to match every taste and architectural style.

Woodgrain finish

If you love the warmth and charm of timber but prefer low maintenance, woodgrain uPVC doors are a perfect match. They replicate the natural appearance of wood, complete with grain patterns and rich tones, without the need for painting, varnishing or sanding. With proper care, just a wipe down with soapy water, they remain beautiful for decades.

Popular woodgrain finishes include:

• Sheffield Oak Concrete
• Sheffield Oak Alpine
• Turner Oak Malt
• Irish Oak
• Golden Oak
• Cedar
• Oregon
• Sapeli
• Rosewood
• Mahogany

These finishes are ideal for homeowners seeking a traditional feel with all the benefits of modern uPVC.

Neutrals and classics

For a timeless, versatile option, neutral uPVC door colours suit almost any home. These shades work well with a variety of architectural styles and give a sense of understated elegance.

Common choices include:

• White
• Cream
• Claystone
• Pebble Grey
• Balmoral

Neutrals are also perfect for homeowners wanting a new lease of life for their home’s exterior without overwhelming the façade.

Greys and darks

Grey and dark-coloured doors remain a popular choice among homeowners for their modern and sophisticated appeal. These shades create a bold contrast with brickwork or render, while remaining neutral enough to suit many styles.

Options include:

• Anthracite Grey 7016
• Smooth Grey 7016
• Gale Grey Finesse
• Grey 7015
• Basalt Grey 7012
• Silver Grey 7155
• Black Ulti Matt

A black uPVC door in particular adds a sense of grandeur and works beautifully with chrome or satin hardware.

Greens

Green is enjoying a resurgence in exterior design, offering a sense of tranquillity while standing out in the street.

Try:

• Sage
• Chartwell Green
• Dark Green

These shades pair perfectly with natural stonework, garden greenery or neutral façades.

Metallic and speciality

For homeowners looking for something a little different, our metallic and speciality finishes offer a premium aesthetic that catches the eye.

Finishes include:

• Trompet
• Flemish Gold
• Bronze Platin
• Grey Aluminium

Paired with complementary door furniture in chrome, gold or anthracite, these doors make a statement that is both stylish and durable.

Substrate colours

Substrate colours form the core of your uPVC door’s construction, providing the base that supports your chosen finish. Available options:

• White
• Brown
• Caramel
• Black
• Cream

Choosing the right substrate helps enhance the durability and overall look of your entrance for years to come.

Why choose uPVC in the first place

uPVC has become the most popular choices for front doors across the UK, and for good reason. The material combines style, performance and practicality in ways that other materials struggle to match. Here is why it is such a trusted material.

Thermal efficiency

A well-insulated door reduces heat loss, helping keep your home warm and lowering energy bills. Our doors use multi-chambered uPVC profiles and patented bubble gaskets to prevent draughts and improve heat retention.

• Our 70 mm residential doors have U-values as low as 0.99 W/m²K with triple glazing
• 90 mm Zero|90 doors achieve U-values down to 0.73 W/m²K, suitable for low-energy builds

Lower U-values mean better energy efficiency, reducing bills while maintaining comfort all year.

Durability

uPVC doors are built to last. Unlike timber, they do not warp, crack or rot in damp Bristol weather. With robust hinges and multi-point locking systems, these doors remain secure and functional for decades.

• Resists weathering and deterioration
• Maintains appearance with minimal care

Low maintenance

Unlike wooden front doors, uPVC requires very little effort to keep looking pristine. Simply wipe with a damp cloth or soapy water, and your door stays clean and fresh.

Customisation

uPVC doors allow endless possibilities in colour, glazing and hardware. You can choose:

• Dual colour options for inside and outside aesthetics
• Decorative glazing for natural light or privacy
• A wide selection of door furniture finishes including chrome, satin, black, gold and more

This ensures your entrance reflects your home’s personality while being functional.

Affordability

High-quality uPVC doors are competitively priced due to their ability to be mass-produced, offering plenty of benefits without compromising on durability or security. They provide excellent value for money while boosting your home’s curb appeal and market value.

Recyclability

Modern uPVC is recyclable, making it a more environmentally responsible choice than some other materials. At the end of its lifespan, your door can be reused or recycled, contributing to sustainable home improvements.
