Famously,10 Downing Street has made the high-gloss black front door a global symbol of authority and “The Home of the Prime Minister.” Historically, black was the choice of the elite, representing wealth and stability due to the cost of high-quality pigments.

Common questions about black doors
Our common questions about black doors cover everything you need to know, from style and kerb appeal to maintenance, durability, and how black doors perform in different light and weather conditions. Whether youโre considering a bold modern entrance or a classic statement for a traditional home, these answers will help you decide if a black door is the right choice for your property.
1. Is a black front door suitable for a southerly facing home?
Black absorbs significantly more heat than lighter tones, causing materials to expand in the summer. For southerly elevations, we strongly recommend a lighter colour. This avoids the risk of the door “sticking” in the heat or creating draughts in the winter due to constant movement. If your heart is set on black for a sun-facing entry, Aluminium is your best option as it expands and contracts far less.
2. Does a black front door show dirt and marks easily?
Much like a black car, a high-gloss finish can show dust or water spots more than lighter colours. However, our woodgrain textured black doors are excellent at disguising surface marks and fingerprints. Regardless of the finish, a quick wipe with warm soapy water is all it takes to maintain that smart look.
3. What hardware looks best on a black front door?
Black is incredibly versatile. For a classic, high-contrast look, Polished Chrome or Brass offers a timeless feel. For a contemporary aesthetic, Matt Black hardware on a black door is trendy. Alternatively, Satin Stainless Steel bar handles provide a sleek, industrial edge that suits modern homes.
4. Can I choose a black front door with a woodgrain finish?
Absolutely. You don’t have to settle for a flat, “plastic” look. Many of our black doors particularly in the Residence and Palladio collections feature an authentic woodgrain texture. This provides the prestigious look of traditional timber but with the modern benefits of high security and no repainting.
5. Will a black door make my internal hallway dark?
Not if you choose a dual-colour option. We highly recommend a black exterior paired with a Gloss White or Cream interior. This gives you the sophisticated “Number 10” look on the street while keeping your hallway feeling bright, airy, and spacious.
6. Do black front doors suit modern houses?
Black is a staple of modern architecture. A Black Aluminium door with minimalist glazing and a long pull bar handle looks spectacular against light stone, white render, or cedar cladding. It provides a sharp, framed look that acts as a focal point for the entire front of the house.
7. Is a black front door considered "lucky" or symbolic?
In many cultures, black is a very positive choice. In Feng Shui, a black front door represents the Water element, symbolising wealth, abundance, and a flow of opportunities. Historically, a black door has also been a sign of prestige and authority.
8. How do I choose the right glass for a black front door?
Because black is so bold, the glass you choose can completely change the “mood.” Satin or Frosted glass looks very clean and modern against black, while traditional leaded glass or “Zing” designs can soften the look for a period property. We can help you with hundreds of glass combinations to find your individual look.
