We seem to be struggling a bit to get a proper black uPVC window supplier. Many companies do a very dark brown colour (sometimes knows as blackbrown or schwarzbrun, RAL8022) but we need proper black for a number of reasons (matching existing garage doors & ally french doors).

Has anyone got any decent manufacturers/suppliers or any experience here?

Thanks!

I've painted over uPVC and then when we needed a door, the supplier used the same paint (Zinsser all coat) for the door and frame, they just sprayed it all before delivery. It's been on 10 years and looks great still.
Any colour you want then.

I had a similar issue recently. Wanted black, specified black, but they edited it to this darkbrown colour instead. "We thought that's what you'd want". No, I want what I wrote on the spec, which I know you can supply, and that matches the black bifold doors I've just ordered from you too. Idiots.

Anyway, afraid I can't help with UPVC colour from suppliers I ended up using, but these guys appear to manufacture black upvc windows and have various suppliers round the country:

We only got one window in black uPVC window in the renovated part of the house, rest is black Alu. Honestly cannot tell the difference between uPVC and Alu inside or outside unless you are next to the frame.

All the windows were supplied by local company in Leicestershire.

It sounds to me like your best option would be to go for Black Aluminium rather than uPVC.

Black uPVC expands and contracts like a pure bd.
