The Challenge with Anthracite grey aluminium gates

A homeowner in Nutley, East Sussex contacted us looking for a modern and secure entrance solution for their driveway. They were keen to install a gate system that provided privacy while still allowing partial visibility to see vehicles or visitors approaching from outside. The brief included a clean, contemporary design with reliable access control for everyday use.

Our Approach

We recommended a set of anthracite grey aluminium gates, finished with vision bars to allow controlled visibility through the gate. Aluminium was chosen for its durability, low maintenance, and modern appearance, while the vision bars offered a subtle break in the solid panels for added awareness without compromising privacy.

For automation, we selected Roger Technology above-ground operators, known for their quiet and dependable performance. To manage access, we installed a digital keypad system that operates the gates via a secure 4-digit code, giving the client full control over who can enter or exit the property without needing remote fobs or additional keys. We also ensured the gate design would complement the property’s frontage, offering a visually balanced and secure entrance from all angles. We also ensured the gate design would complement the property’s frontage, offering a visually balanced and secure entrance from all angles, day or night.

The Installation

The gates were precision-fitted at the entrance to the driveway and securely mounted to robust posts. The anthracite grey finish provided a sleek and timeless look that complemented the property’s style. The vision bars were integrated during manufacture, giving a factory-finished appearance that looked both purposeful and discreet.

The Roger Technology automation system was installed above ground for easy servicing and reliable performance. We completed the setup with the keypad access control, programmed on site and tested with the client to ensure smooth day-to-day operation.

This installation in Nutley is a great example of how aluminium driveway gates can offer both style and practicality. Lightweight yet strong, aluminium gates are ideal for automated systems and require minimal upkeep compared to timber or wrought iron alternatives. The inclusion of vision bars not only improves safety but also adds a subtle design detail that sets these gates apart.

As with all our electric gate installations, attention to detail was key. Cable runs were concealed where possible, and all components were tested thoroughly to ensure reliable long-term performance. The aluminium gates were factory-finished for added durability, helping to resist corrosion and wear over time. A smart choice for exposed driveways. This type of automated gate installation in Nutley is becoming increasingly popular with homeowners seeking a combination of smart access control and low-maintenance materials. With its clean lines and built-in digital keypad, this system offers a practical and stylish solution for those considering aluminium driveway gates in East Sussex.
