A roller door is practical, but it doesn't have to be plain. Because it can take up a big part of your home's street front, the right colour and finish can make a real difference to how the house looks, and to its appeal when you sell.
1. Match or contrast with your roof and trims
The simplest approach is to choose a Colorbond colour that matches your roof, gutters or window frames. This creates a clean, unified look. For a modern feel, choose a darker shade such as Monument, Basalt or Woodland Grey to contrast with light render or brick.
2. Think about the whole streetscape
Stand across the street and look at your home with the neighbours' in view. Warm neutrals like Surfmist, Shale Grey and Paperbark suit traditional brick homes. Deeper charcoals and greys suit contemporary builds. Check any estate design guidelines before you choose.
3. Choose the right profile
Roller door curtains come in different profiles, from classic corrugated ribs to flatter, smoother designs. A smoother profile looks more contemporary, while a traditional rib suits older homes, sheds and farm buildings.
4. Consider a timber-look finish
Timber-look finishes bring the warmth of wood without the maintenance. They pair well with natural stone, timber cladding and light render. If you want more design choice, compare timber-look sectional doors as well.
5. Don't forget the details
- Match the door's colour to the fascia above the opening for a seamless look.
- Choose a matching colour for the guides so they blend in.
- Add an automatic opener with a discreet remote and wall button.
