What finishes and colours are available for steel doorsets?
Most steel doorsets are finished in a factory‑applied coating system, commonly powder coated, and that is usually the best option for consistency and durability. Colours can typically be supplied to common colour references (for example RAL/BS shades) so you can match a brand colour, safety colour, or simply blend the door into the façade or corridor scheme. You can also specify different colours internally and externally, which is surprisingly useful on commercial sites where the inside needs to be neutral but the outside needs to match cladding or corporate signage. The important part (and this is where people get caught out) is the environment: a door on a sheltered internal corridor is not the same as a door on an exposed coastal elevation or a cleaning‑heavy food/industrial area. The right primer/topcoat specification matters as much as the colour. If you want the door to look good long term, talk about the location, exposure and cleaning regime at the quotation stage, not after it’s installed. A doorset is meant to be repeatable and consistent; the finish should be too.
