5. Color Choices
PlexiDor offers three elegant color choices to compliment the decor of your home.
Choose from White, Silver or Bronze. Silver frames feature an anodized finish. White and Bronze frames feature a baked-on powder coating for increased durability, similar to the appliances in your home. A PlexiDor Pet Door is by far the most attractive pet door you will ever install in your home.
The color choices for our finishes will integrate perfectly into your home!
- The white finish highlights common household appliances as well as most baseboards and trims and blends with most traditional decors.
- The silver finish coordinates with newer stainless-steel appliances and looks great in a modern setting.
- The bronze finish works well with darker toned furniture and accessories by adding an updated feel to the room.
