Questions from Bicester
Will black fade?
Quality powder coatings are designed for UK weather. Matt finishes may show a slight sheen change over many years.
Is a black lantern too dark inside?
The frame is a small part of what you see; the glass dominates. Black frames inside create a graphic grid that many people like. If you want a softer look, choose white inside.
