When it comes to bold architectural statements, few materials rival the elegance and presence of custom steel and glass doors. Add a vibrant metallic finish like RAL 1036 Glitter & Gold, and you have something truly extraordinary — a fusion of craftsmanship, innovation, and color that commands attention from the very first glance. This month, PORTAMET proudly announced the shipment of a spectacular set of bespoke RAL 1036 Glitter & Gold steel doors heading to London, United Kingdom. Designed and handcrafted in our European workshop, these doors represent the perfect blend of industrial precision and artistic vision — proof that steel can be both strong and beautifully expressive.
The Vision Behind the Project
Every project begins with a concept — a story told through form, color, and proportion. In this case, the London-based client sought a statement piece: a set of steel doors that would bridge modern luxury with bold personality. While black and bronze remain timeless choices in the world of steel and glass design, the client wanted to push the boundaries — to create something that radiated confidence, energy, and individuality. The answer came in the form of RAL 1036 Glitter & Gold, a finish that shimmers under light and transforms the entire atmosphere of a space. It’s a color that captures movement — bright, dynamic, and full of life — yet balanced by the clean geometry of slim steel frames and perfectly proportioned glass panels.
Craftsmanship That Shines
At PORTAMET, craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. Each door begins as raw steel — cut, welded, and ground by hand to achieve flawless precision. Every millimeter matters, every joint must align perfectly, and every surface is polished before powder coating. The RAL 1036 Glitter & Gold finish was applied using a high-performance powder coating process, ensuring consistent color depth, durability, and resistance to wear. The result is a vibrant metallic sheen that enhances the architectural lines while reflecting light beautifully. This finish isn’t just about appearance — it’s engineered for longevity and stability. Whether installed in a bright interior space or under varying lighting conditions, it retains its brilliance for years without fading or dulling.
A Journey from Workshop to London
Once completed, the doors underwent a detailed quality control process. Our team inspected every weld, measured every alignment, and checked the coating for consistency. Before shipping, the glass panels were installed with precision — ensuring perfect clarity and tight seals. The final assembly is always a special moment. Seeing the reflection of light dance across the golden frames is a reminder of what’s possible when design meets dedication. From there, the doors were carefully packed and prepared for their journey to London, UK, where they will soon become a central feature in a luxury interior project. London has long been a hub for architectural experimentation — a city where heritage meets modernity, and where bold materials find their place among classic forms. The installation of these glittering steel doors reflects that very spirit.

Why Choose a Colored Steel Door?
Traditionally, steel doors are black, white, or bronze. But architectural color is making a comeback — and designers are embracing bolder palettes to define spaces and emotions. The RAL 1036 Glitter & Gold tone symbolizes confidence, creativity, and sophistication. It catches the eye without overwhelming, perfectly suited for modern apartments, luxury lofts, and boutique commercial interiors. Beyond aesthetics, the colored finish also adds a layer of customization that reflects personality and brand identity — whether for a private residence or a public venue.

London’s Love for Bespoke Steel Design
London’s architectural landscape has always celebrated innovation. From restored Victorian townhouses to contemporary penthouses, steel and glass have become essential materials for maximizing light and space. What makes this project unique is its unapologetic embrace of color. The RAL 1036 Glitter & Gold finish complements London’s design language — combining heritage proportions with modern flair. It adds a sense of warmth and artistic energy to interiors that might otherwise feel too neutral or minimal. It’s not just a door — it’s an expression of architectural individuality.
A Golden Statement in Every Detail
When these PORTAMET steel doors are finally installed in London, they will transform the space — reflecting light during the day, glowing under evening lamps, and creating an atmosphere of contemporary luxury.
