A New Era of Siding Aesthetics
The introduction of Anthracite and Coppered Oak represents a significant step forward in meeting the demands of homeowners, architects, and designers. Both colours address the growing market trends for bold and versatile finishes:
- Anthracite: A sophisticated, deep grey tone that exudes contemporary elegance. Perfect for modern homes, it seamlessly complements popular window and door finishes such as grey and black frames. Anthracite offers a sleek, minimalist aesthetic while retaining the character of natural timber grain.
- Coppered Oak: A warm, amber hue that radiates richness and charm. This colour bridges the gap between the subtle tones of Antique Oak and the vibrancy of Golden Oak, creating an inviting and versatile choice for both traditional and modern settings. Its natural woodgrain detailing enhances the authenticity of the finish.
