Style Guide: Matte Black Is Everything!

Matte Black is trending with no sign of slowing down! Here's why we can't get enough of this finish.

From hardware to faucets, Matte Black is everywhere! We're on board with the trend, but rest assured that this gorgeous finish is more than a passing fad.

Our most ordered finish for the past year! Matte Black is here to stay.

 Modern.

Black has always been a favorite finish for modern dwellers everywhere. We are fond of a matte finish with only the slightest hint of sheen. Unlike a gloss or flat finish, a matte finish is more modern and timeless. We tested oodles of powder coat finishes to find what we think is the perfect choice. Our Matte Black is everything!

Our gloss-free powder coat finishes are more durable than traditional paint. They won't chip, crack or flake. They can withstand the elements with proper care wherever you live. 

When considering Matte Black for your new Modern House Numbers, be sure to consider the texture and color of the installation surface. For example, we love the stunning, modern contrast created by matte black on white! Regardless of the style of your home or business, our Matte Black finish works well with any type of architecture or aesthetic. Combine numbers and letters, or even a plaque, and create a one-of-a-kind curb appeal. You can see more inspiring Matte Black installations on our website, and on our Instagram feed.
