Description

Canvas Charcoal curtains deliver substantial light control and modern sophistication. Each custom panel provides privacy and sun screening while maintaining a refined aesthetic that works in contemporary residential and commercial spaces.

We manufacture your Canvas Charcoal curtains to exact length specifications, with 50" panels that combine for larger openings. Charcoal shows quality in its depth—cheap dark greys look flat and dull, but Canvas Charcoal has richness that reads as premium. Choose Grommet headers for industrial-modern spaces, Tab Top for casual contemporary, Back Tab for minimalist aesthetics, or Rod Pocket for softness. The included ties help you manage panels during daylight hours.

Charcoal anchors modern color schemes beautifully. Pair with crisp white for high contrast, soft greys for monochromatic sophistication, or warm woods for balanced contemporary style. The dark tone makes bright accent colors pop—imagine Charcoal curtains with coral pillows or turquoise accessories. In commercial settings, Charcoal provides a professional appearance and practical light control without the severity of black.

Why Choose Sunbrella Canvas Charcoal Curtain?

  • Light Control Without Black's Intensity: Charcoal blocks most sunlight and provides excellent privacy while feeling less dramatic than true black. You get a function without the commitment.

  • Urban Privacy Solution: Dark colors obscure interior visibility from outside, essential for urban settings with close neighbors or street-level exposure. Charcoal provides this privacy while maintaining a modern style.

  • Sophisticated Neutrality: Charcoal acts as a grounding neutral in contemporary design, providing visual weight without the starkness of black or the blandness of medium grey.

  • Heat Management Balance: Charcoal absorbs less heat than black but more than light colors, creating a practical middle ground for sun control in moderate climates.

  • Coordinates With Modern Metallics: The dark grey works beautifully with stainless steel, matte black, brushed nickel, and other metal finishes common in contemporary design.

Fabric Information

Canvas Charcoal sits between medium grey and black—dark enough for significant light blocking, light enough to avoid the heat absorption and visual weight of true black. This positioning makes it more versatile than black for residential applications. The dark grey won't fade to medium grey the way cheaper fabrics do because Sunbrella's solution-dyeing locks the color throughout the fiber. Charcoal provides about 85-90% of the light blocking you'd get from black while being 50% less visually heavy, which matters in smaller spaces or areas where black feels too intense. The color coordinates with both warm and cool schemes, working as a neutral anchor in contemporary design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Canvas Charcoal is noticeably darker—it's closer to black than to medium grey. If you're looking for something that reads as "dark" rather than just "grey," Charcoal delivers. It's dark enough to provide serious light control but not so dark that it feels oppressive in residential spaces.

Dark colors can make spaces feel smaller, but the effect depends on overall design. Use Charcoal on one side or section rather than surrounding the space. Pair with light floors, furniture, or ceiling to maintain visual balance. Many small urban balconies successfully use Charcoal for privacy without feeling cramped.

Charcoal shows light-colored dust less than true black but more than medium tones. It's a middle ground—you'll see some dust accumulation, but it's more forgiving than black. Regular brushing or shaking keeps curtains looking clean between washings.

Both are dark greys, but Charcoal is slightly lighter and has a cleaner, more modern feel. Coal is deeper and richer. If you're deciding between them, Charcoal is the safer choice for most contemporary residential applications, while Coal suits spaces wanting maximum darkness.

Charcoal absorbs more heat than light colors but significantly less than black. In hot climates with intense afternoon sun, ensure good ventilation and air circulation. For shaded or covered areas, or spaces with morning sun only, heat absorption isn't a concern.

Charcoal is neutral enough to work with both. It pairs beautifully with warm walnut or teak as well as with cool metals and concrete. The dark grey acts as a grounding element that works across temperature ranges in contemporary design.
