Why Choose RAL 5011 For A Conservatory?

Does Steel Blue Suit Modern Conservatories?

Yes, the RAL 5011 can be highly successful on modern conservatories, particularly when used in combination with thin framing, large windows, and neutral interior design.

The dark colour creates contrast to the lighter colours of the wall, flooring, and interior furniture pieces.

Does Steel Blue Suit Traditional Homes?

Despite its modern look, Steel Blue is also suitable for use in a classic home, especially when the material is used correctly.

Steel Blue’s dark blue tone works great alongside brick, stone, and cream exteriors, resulting in a unique look compared to the common white or grey frames.

Is RAL 7001 Good For Natural Light?

Since Silver Grey is a lighter colour for the frame, it can assist in ensuring a more airy and open appearance to a conservatory design than dark-coloured frames.

While the light that comes into the conservatory depends upon its glazing, roofing system, position, and frame configuration, light colours like RAL 7001 can provide assistance towards achieving an airy effect.

Is RAL 7001 Energy Efficient?

The colour of the frame is primarily concerned with aesthetics of the design. The energy efficiency of a conservatory mainly depends upon the glazing, roofing, and insulation of the frame.

Modern double glazing and roofing along with the proper installation can enhance the thermal efficiency of an RAL 7001 frame.
