Colour Charts for Roller Shutters, Security Doors & Grilles

Choosing the right colour is an important part of your project. Whether you are matching existing building finishes, meeting brand guidelines, or creating a specific look, we offer a wide range of colour options to suit both domestic and commercial applications.

At Security Direct, we combine standard stocked colours for fast turnaround with fully custom powder coating options across the full RAL and BS colour ranges.

Our Standard Stock Colours (Fastest & Most Cost-Effective)

We regularly manufacture and install products in a core range of popular colours. These are typically held in stock or run frequently, allowing for faster lead times and no additional coating costs.

Our most common colours include:

  • White – RAL 9016
  • Black – RAL 9005
  • Anthracite Grey – RAL 7016
  • Brown – RAL 8014

These colours are widely used across:

  • Domestic roller shutters and garage doors
  • Commercial shopfront shutters
  • Industrial doors and security grilles

If speed, cost efficiency, and proven aesthetics are important, these are usually the best starting point.

Non-Standard Stock Colours (Surcharge Applies)

We also have access to a wider range of colours that are available within our supply chain but not used as frequently.

These colours:

  • May be held in limited stock or produced occasionally
  • Often require the powder coating plant to be cleaned and reset (strip-down process)
  • Typically incur a surcharge due to the additional setup time and material handling

This option is ideal when:

  • You need a specific shade not in the standard range
  • You are matching existing building finishes
  • You want a slightly more bespoke look without going fully custom

Full Custom Powder Coating (RAL, BS & Designer Colours)

For complete flexibility, we can powder coat your product in virtually any colour, including:

This gives you access to thousands of colour options, suitable for:

  • Architectural specifications
  • Brand colour matching
  • High end residential projects
  • Design-led commercial environments
  • Matching existing paint schemes, including heritage and interior-led colour palettes

Farrow & Ball colours are particularly popular for domestic installations, where customers want shutters or doors to blend seamlessly with windows, render, or interior design schemes.

Marine Grade Powder Coating (Enhanced Protection for Harsh Environments)

For installations in more demanding environments, we offer a marine grade powder coating system designed to provide enhanced protection against corrosion.

This is a multi-stage coating process, significantly more advanced than standard powder coating.

What is Marine Grade Coating?

Marine grade coating involves a pre-treatment and multi-layer application process, typically including:

  • Intensive cleaning and preparation of the metal surface
  • Chemical pretreatment to improve adhesion and corrosion resistance
  • Application of a protective primer layer
  • Final powder coated colour finish
  • This system is specifically designed to protect against:
  • Coastal environments (salt air exposure)
  • High moisture areas
  • Industrial or polluted environments

When is Marine Grade Recommended?

We recommend marine grade coating for:

  • Properties near the coast
  • External shutters and doors exposed to weather
  • High-value or long-term installations
  • Commercial or industrial sites where durability is critical

Important considerations:

  • This is a premium process and will significantly increase cost compared to standard powder coating
  • Lead times may be longer due to the additional coating stages
  • Not all colours or finishes may be available within this system

Powder Coating Quality & Finish

All of our colour finishes are applied using professional powder coating processes, providing:

  • Durable, long lasting finish
  • Resistance to weathering and corrosion
  • Consistent colour coverage across components

Finishes are typically available in:

  • Matt
  • Satin
  • Gloss

(Availability may vary depending on colour and system.)

Important considerations:

  • Colours are quoted on application
  • We may need to source powder specifically for your job
  • Some designer colours (including Farrow & Ball matches) require custom colour matching processes

This can result in:

  • Increased costs
  • Extended lead times
