    Does anyone know of a company that supplies black PVC windows with a smooth / matte finish as opposed to a grain finish. Most companies only do a smooth white window.

    I am also looking for the same only in Grey, it seams impossible to get unless you go aluminum, also I suspect if you manage to get the windows in a smooth finish you prob wont get composite doors etc in the same finish.

    As far as I know you can't. The grain effect is in all the window colours (except white) as its a foil stuck to the White UPVC window frame. Under all the black, grey, brown Windows (I've seen) is a white frame.
    To be honest you don't notice the grain effect unless your right beside the window you certainly can't tell from a few feet back.

    Powder coated aluminium might give you the effect you are looking for OP.

    Some amazing colours available on the RAL spectrum.

    When I looked aluminium was the only option for that effect

    Thanks all.

    Yes, would love to go with aluminium but its outside of our budget. One company is offering matte PVC windows (factory painted white pvc) but they're charging us extra to have them painted, still a lot cheaper than aluminium.

    I thought I was missing something as I assumed that a smooth finish would be the default finish but it seems the world loves the grain, but I am against it ;)
