What finish and visual options are there (colours, coatings, matching architecture) for manual swing gates?

Manual swing gates can be fully customised to match your site’s architecture, colour scheme, and branding, while still delivering long-term durability and protection.

Main finish and visual options:

  1. Galvanised finish (base protection)
    • All quality steel gates are hot-dip galvanised for corrosion resistance
    • Provides a silver/grey finish that is highly durable and low maintenance
    • Ideal for industrial or exposed environments where performance is the priority
  2. Powder-coated colours (aesthetic + protection)
    • Applied over galvanising for enhanced weather protection and appearance
    • Available in any RAL colour to match branding or surroundings
    • Popular choices include:
      • RAL 1021 (Traffic Yellow) – high visibility and safety
      • RAL 9005 (Black) – clean, modern, commercial look
      • RAL 6005 (Green) – blends into landscaped or rural settings
  3. Dual-finish combinations
    • Combine galvanised steel with coloured top sections or highlights
    • Adds visual contrast while retaining durability
  4. Reflective and safety markings
    • Reflective strips (RA1/RA2) for improved visibility in low light
    • Chevron plates or warning markings for high-traffic areas
    • Optional branding or logo panels for commercial sites
  5. Design and architectural matching
    • Gates can be styled to suit:
      • Existing railings or fencing
      • Height-restriction barriers or site furniture
      • Corporate branding colours and layouts
    • Options include different infill styles (mesh, bars, solid panels) for both security and appearance
