Description
These anthracite composite driveway gates present as a broad, quietly modern entrance — the driveway side is broken into two panels by a central vertical stile, giving the impression of double-doors within the larger leaf, while a matching pedestrian leaf sits alongside. The overall colour is anthracite grey, cooler than pure black and often preferred where a home already carries anthracite window frames or guttering.
Horizontal composite boards run across the full face at a consistent slim rhythm, so the eye reads a continuous slatted surface rather than three separate objects. The central stile on the large leaf is a subtle vertical accent rather than a visual break. A silver lever handle on the pedestrian gate provides the day-to-day access point, keeping the driveway leaf free of daily wear.
The construction pairs a metal frame with wood-plastic composite (WPC) infill boards. The frame carries the structural load and the hinge fixings, while the WPC panels give the surface its wood-effect appearance without the drawbacks of natural timber — no rot, no annual staining, no splintering or checking as the seasons change. Cleaning is a simple wash-down rather than a treatment cycle.
Choosing a 3/4 split configuration makes sense for households whose foot traffic runs at a very different pace to their vehicle traffic. The larger leaf gives you full driveway width when a car needs to pass; the pedestrian gate handles everything else — deliveries, dog walks, taking the recycling out — with a much smaller swing arc and no need to disturb the main gate. Both leaves can be locked independently when closed.
WPC boards are supplied in a variety of colours, and the metal frame finish can be matched to complement the boards or contrast against them. The composite panels are treated as a fitted product rather than a standard size, so widths and leaf ratios are set from your on-site measurements. This particular finish suits homes leaning towards a cool, urban palette rather than the warmer oak-effect options.
