Available Options
Colour & Finish
Colour: A deep graphite grey—darker than mid‑grey but softer than true black, with a neutral to slightly cool undertone.
Tone/Depth: Rich and grounded, offering strong presence without the starkness of black. It maintains depth while still allowing a gentle lift from light transmission.
Finish: Matte with a refined, lightly textured grain. The surface appears smooth at a distance, with subtle variation up close that adds depth and interest.
Visual impact: Creates a bold but balanced statement at the window. The dark grey softens contrast compared to black while still delivering a defined, contemporary line.
Material Look & Construction
Fabric feel (appearance): A tightly woven polyester with a fine, speckled texture that enhances its depth without introducing visible patterning. The vanes present a consistent, structured look with a slightly softened edge due to light diffusion.
Opacity: Light Filtering – reduces glare and maintains daytime privacy while allowing a muted, controlled flow of natural light.
Practical note: Graphite tones are highly practical—very effective at hiding dust, marks, and everyday wear. The durable polyester finish is easy to maintain, making it ideal for both busy homes and commercial spaces.
