Anthracite Grey UPVC: Why It's Hampshire's Most Popular Choice

The Colour Everyone Is Asking For

Anthracite grey, usually RAL 7016, has become the default modern window colour, and it is comfortably the most requested shade for UPVC spraying across Hampshire. It is clean, contemporary, and works on almost any property style.

Why It Works So Well

• Crisp contrast against white render, light brick, and stone
• Warmer and softer than black, so it suits period homes too
• Hides road film and weathering better than white
• Pairs with grey roofs and aluminium-look fittings

Spray, Don’t Replace

You do not need new anthracite windows to get the look. If your frames are sound, spraying delivers the same finish for a fraction of the cost. Our spraying vs replacement comparison shows how the numbers stack up.

Where It Suits Best

Anthracite is a safe, strong choice for new-builds and modern homes, and it lifts older properties when paired with the right door and hardware. On very traditional cottages, a heritage green or off-white can be a better fit.
