I’ve not been asked about black shutters for a while and then I get two enquires for black shutters in the same day.
Black used to be a standard colour option, but not any more. If you would like black shutters you would need to order either the Elite or Elite Plus shutters with a custom colour option.
Custom colours are an extra cost and are only available for wooden shutters. You would need to choose a black colour reference from either the Dulux, FB, Paint and paper or RAL colour ranges, here are some of the black colours we can match:
RAL black colours:
Signal black 9004, Jet black 9005, Graphite black 9011, Traffic black 9017
FB colours:
Black blue 95, Off black 97, Pitch black 256
Dulux colours:
Black, Classic black, Pure black, Rich black
Black shutters can look very stylish in the right style room or house. One example would be for a barn conversion where all the existing timbers are black, and the windows are black. Finding the right kind of window dressings for a barn conversion can be hard as windows in barns can be very small, very large, shaped or in awkward places.
When looking for a custom black colour you can choose from a matt finish or a gloss black finish and remember, that black shutters will reduce the light into the room, so choosing a larger louvre blade or wider shutters would be an advantage.
