PLEASE NOTE: The term 'blockout' 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.
Colour & Finish
Colour: A deep charcoal‑leaning grey—darker than mid‑grey with a slightly cool undertone, delivering a strong, contemporary neutral.
Tone/Depth: Rich and solid; the blackout PVC construction gives a dense, uniform depth, while the subtle surface detailing adds soft tonal variation without visible contrast.
Finish: Matte with a fine micro‑textured pattern. The surface features a delicate, organic grain—almost fabric‑like—adding refinement without visible pattern repetition.
Visual impact: Creates a bold yet understated window feature. The darker grey anchors the room visually, while the subtle texture softens the overall effect, avoiding harshness or flatness.
Material Look & Construction
Fabric feel (appearance): A structured PVC slat with a finely embossed or printed micro‑texture across the surface. The finish is consistent and smooth, designed to replicate a soft textile feel while remaining durable.
Opacity: Blackout – fully blocks incoming light, ensuring maximum privacy and complete room darkening.
Performance features:
- Waterproof: Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and damp environments
- Mould resistant: Ideal for humid or condensation‑prone spaces
- Flame retardant: Meets safety requirements for residential and commercial use
- Wipe‑clean: Hygienic, low‑maintenance surface
Practical note: The darker tone is highly forgiving—excellent at concealing dust, marks, and everyday wear. The micro‑texture enhances durability while providing a more premium, fabric‑inspired appearance than plain PVC.
