Smoky black and gray fence in Rivière-Rouge, QC — near Lac des Écorces

Project presentation

In the Upper Laurentians, where nature takes center stage on every property, choosing a smoky gray finish for a Murano 2020 fence makes perfect sense. This unique shade—somewhere between matte black and anthracite gray—blends beautifully with the rocks, conifers, and bodies of water that characterize the landscape around Lac des Écorces in Rivière-Rouge.

The homeowner was looking for an aluminum pool or outdoor patio fence that would blend seamlessly into this striking natural setting. The 2020 Murano model, featuring tempered glass and aluminum frames with a smoky gray-black powder-coated finish, immediately met this requirement. The result: an installation that looks as though it has always been part of the landscape.

Aluminium Distinction developed this shade specifically for customers looking for a more subtle alternative to pure black, with a slightly warm, textured finish that changes beautifully in natural light.

Project features

Exclusive smoky gray-black shade

Smoky gray-black is a powder-coated finish exclusive to the Murano line, offering greater color depth than standard black. Under the low morning light or in direct sunlight, the shade reveals graphite tones that are highly sought after in contemporary landscape architecture.

Tempered glass with a subtle smoked finish

For this project, tempered glass panels were chosen for their subtle smoky gray tint, which complements the profiles perfectly. This choice creates complete color harmony between the profiles and the panels, resulting in a very polished look.

Seamless integration into the Laurentian landscape

In a wooded area like Rivière-Rouge, every exterior architectural element must harmonize with the surrounding natural environment. The clean lines and muted color palette of this installation allow the fence to blend into the landscape visually, rather than clash with it.

Rugged design for the Upper Laurentians

Winter conditions in the Upper Laurentians are among the harshest in Quebec. 6063-T5 extruded aluminum, 6 mm tempered glass, and reinforced concrete anchors ensure perfect structural integrity, even during heavy snowstorms or freezing temperatures.

Results

The Murano 2020 fence in smoky black and gray from Rivière-Rouge has become a visual focal point in its own right, enhancing the property while preserving the privacy of the outdoor living space. The homeowner now enjoys a secure and elegant perimeter that blends seamlessly into the wilderness of the Laurentians.

Aluminium Distinction demonstrates here that a maintenance-free aluminum fence can also be a masterpiece of landscape architecture.
