Blackbutt is a popular light Australian hardwood - pale golden-brown with a fine, even grain. On woodgrain aluminium privacy screens, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Blackbutt timber with none of the oiling, warping, splitting or rot.
On a made-to-measure screen, this finish does a working job as well as a visual one - the batten spacing is tuned to block a neighbour's sightline or hide pool gear while still letting the breeze move through, so the warmth of the grain comes with real privacy and airflow.
Light, bright and contemporary. Blackbutt's pale honey tone suits modern coastal and Hamptons-style homes and keeps elevations feeling open and airy. As aluminium privacy screens, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Blackbutt look on a project that has to last.
Where Blackbutt works best as privacy screens
The Blackbutt finish suits light, modern facades, soffits and coastal homes. As privacy screens specifically, it is well placed on:
- Boundary and neighbour privacy screens
- Pool equipment and bin screening
- Air-conditioner and services concealment
- Courtyard and balcony dividers
- Front fences and gates
- Outdoor room and alfresco enclosure
