Navy Lattice Maitre Doors: A Cooler Alternative to All-Black Entrances

All-black steel doors are everywhere in new Nairobi estates. Navy lattice (the Maitre family on our floor) reads as more tailored: the colour cools a cream or grey facade, and the lattice gives shadow without fake “castle” ironwork.

How to choose the layout

• Single — townhouses and 900–1000 mm openings.
• 1.5 / mother-and-son — furniture access without a full double.
• Equal double — wide porches and sales offices in the home.

Navy shows dust less than piano black in Athi River wind, but it still wants a wipe after the dry season. Check lattice alignment across both leaves on a double so the pattern does not “jump” at the meeting stile.

If your windows are already black aluminium, navy can be the one colour that stops the house looking like a security catalogue.
