For architects working on multi-residential projects, every decision impacts the budget, timeline, and long-term performance of a building. While colour choice might seem like a purely aesthetic decision from an outsider's perspective, selecting the right powdercoat finish for windows and doors can determine whether a project runs smoothly or faces costly delays and inefficiencies.
At UNO Windows & Doors, we simplify this choice by offering a carefully selected range of seven key powdercoat colours designed to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and simplify long-term maintenance. Choosing from this range gives you the best balance of design flexibility and practicality, ensuring projects stay on track and within budget.
Our key colour range includes seven of the most popular aluminium joinery shades in New Zealand, based on market trends, project demands, and what works best across the landscape. These colours have been tried and tested across various developments, ensuring they remain timeless, versatile, and easy to match with cladding, roofing, and other exterior elements.

Opting for key powdercoat colours isn’t just a smart choice for efficiency—it’s also better for the environment. Since key colours are widely used and produced in larger batches, they help reduce energy consumption during manufacturing. Plus, minimising the need for custom coatings cuts down on waste, making key colours a more sustainable option for multi-residential projects.
While it’s tempting to explore custom colours, they come with significant downsides that can create bottlenecks, inflate costs, and complicate project logistics.
Multi-residential developments rely on streamlined schedules. Choosing a customised powdercoat colour can add weeks to your timeline, as special orders require additional processing time.
Some custom colours often come with minimum order quantities, meaning you could end up paying for more than what’s actually needed. Unlike key colours, which benefit from bulk efficiencies, special orders increase per-unit costs and stretch budgets unnecessarily.
In a multi-residential project, consistency across units is essential for an integrated design. Choosing a key colour ensures that replacements, repairs, or future expansions remain visually seamless. With custom colours, there’s a risk that a specific shade won’t be available in the future, making long-term upkeep more challenging.
Yes, but with important considerations. While we can accommodate colours outside the key colour range, we always recommend discussing feasibility with our team to understand:
