As well as white, your customers can choose between:

Cream; Black/Brown; Agate Grey; Anthracite Grey (smooth and grain effect) and Chartwell Green

Textured finishes give the look of authentic woodgrain without the maintenance:

Rosewood; Golden Oak; Irish Oak; and Woodgrain White

Colour on the outside face and white on the inside face is another option if your customer wants a different look externally to a neutral look indoors:

Rosewood; Golden Oak; Irish Oak; Cream; Black/Brown; Agate Grey; Anthracite Grey (smooth) and Chartwell Green
