Garador has introduced a new colour option on its steel Up & Over garage doors called Chartwell Green. The name of the colour, which is a lovely tranquil shade of green that was named after the colour Sir Winston Churchill, chose to be used on his garden furniture. As a colour, Chartwell Green is commonly found among existing entrance door and window frame colours on many new build homes and refurbished properties too. Garador’s Managing Director, Simon Hipgrave commented: “Chartwell Green has been used more and more on windows and doors in recent years, so it seemed like a logical decision to give our customers a garage door in a colour they could match to their existing windows and doors” As is often the case in other industries such as clothing and food, different things go in and out of fashion over time. The colours used in the design of the windows or doors on a residential home are no different, and the popularity of Chartwell Green is on the ascent with increased demand for this soft subtle green to add elegance and charm on properties ranging from bungalows to country houses. Garador has launched the new shade as a standard colour across all its Up & Over, Side Hinged and Personnel steel door ranges. The paint reference for this colour is Chartwell Green (BS 4800) and it will be added to Garador brochures over the coming months. Unable to find the required look in standard RAL colour charts, Garador worked closely with its paint supplier to formulate this precise colour shade. Garador recently invested in its painting facilities at its UK based manufacturing plant in Somerset, as Garador’s Managing Director Simon Hipgrave states: “We have invested heavily in our plant production and paint technology in recent years, to provide a selection of durable paint finishes, which goes beyond your typical choice of colours, and we are confident the new Chartwell Green colour will be a hit with homeowners.” Find out more about the Garador steel garage door range, including Up & Over, Side Hinged and Personnel garage doors by visiting www.garador.co.uk or calling 01935 443701.
