Colour options
We offer over 150 different RAL colours, ensuring your customers find the right fit for their home. Our colours include more classic options such as black and white, as well as options such as pastels and neutrals. Your customers also have the option of going for a dual colour option, where the outside external door colour matches the home’s exterior while the inside complements the interior design. When choosing a front door colour, your customers should think about the design and aesthetic of their home, and whether they want their front door colour to match their patio doors. At Origin, customers are able to have all of their door colours matching if desired to achieve a consistent look.
Though we offer a huge range of colours to choose from, popular colours for the Origin Residential Door panels include:
- Black Grey (7021M)
- Slate Grey (7015M)
- Hipca White (9910G and 9910M)
- Anthracite Grey (7016M)

Door style
At Origin, we offer a range of different styles for customers to choose from when it comes to front door panels. Our options include panels that combine a modern door design with geometric shapes; featured in the Sandringham range. These panels provide a fresh, unique look for any property and are ideal if your customers are looking for something a bit different to traditional options.
We also offer a range of traditional panel options – ideal for a timeless, classic appearance. You can recommend styles from the Kensington range if your customers are looking for a traditional option – although we also offer more modern options from the Kensington range.
Some people choose a front door that will seamlessly blend in with the rest of the materials and colours used in the construction of the house, while others prefer to opt for a front door panel that sits in complete contrast — either its size, colour or design – and makes an eye-catching statement.
Sizes
Origin Aluminium Front Doors can be as narrow as 400mm, but as wide as 1200mm and as tall as 3000mm. Each type of panel will have minimum and maximum sizes, so side lights or fixed glazed windows around and above the front door will further enhance its proportions.
The ideal size for your customer will depend on the size of their door opening, as well as the type of panel they choose. As Origin Front Doors with panels each have individual minimum and maximum sizes; you can read our specification guide to find out more.
The use of glass
With Origin’s wide range of panels for front doors, customers have the choice of panels that incorporate lots of natural light, to more minimalistic panels that don’t incorporate any glass window. For example – the following designs from the Kensington range feature a classy, simpler design without any glass:
This option ultimately comes down to whether your customers are looking for a design that utilises natural light, or a more minimalistic, simple design. You can read our front door specification file to find out about the different panel designs available.
