PLEASE NOTE: The term 'blackout' refers to the fact that the fabric is designed not to allow light to pass through it. Light ingress and bleed will occur through the gap between each slat and the perimeter of the vertical blind unit. Also this Classic Blackout vane has a colour co-ordinated blackout backing to match the fabric front.
Colour & Finish
- Colour: A warm, mid‑tone grey with a hint of taupe—sits between stone grey and beige, leaning slightly earthy rather than cool.
- Tone/Depth: Soft and muted with an even, neutral depth; it diffuses light gently rather than absorbing it, giving a calm, understated presence at the window.
- Finish: Matte with a very fine, almost powder-smooth grain. The surface looks clean and uniform with no visible pattern or gloss.
- Visual impact: The neutral taupe adds a sophisticated, low‑contrast backdrop that works effortlessly with white skirting and trims. It offers a gentle, modern warmth without dominating the space.

Material Look & Construction

- Opacity: Blackout; designed to block external light effectively, ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, or spaces needing light control.
- Practical note: Blackout polyester fabrics typically resist dust, wipe clean easily, and maintain their shape—well suited to busy homes, rental properties, and commercial settings.
