Services
Interior Shading Solutions
Our interior shading systems combine advanced technology with aesthetic design to control light and heat in residential and commercial spaces. Offering manual and motorized options, these solutions feature precision-engineered components for smooth operation and durability. The systems integrate seamlessly with smart home technology while maintaining elegant aesthetics through various design options like cassette enclosures and dual shade configurations.
Exterior Shading Systems
Engineered exterior shading solutions intercept solar radiation before it reaches building surfaces, significantly reducing cooling costs and interior glare. Our systems include cable-guided shades, zip shades, and facade-integrated solutions that maintain structural integrity while enhancing architectural aesthetics. These weather-resistant systems provide energy efficiency through precise solar management while preserving unobstructed views.
Drapery Treatments
The Ripplefold Drapery System offers space-efficient window treatments with streamlined vertical stacking capabilities. Available in manual and motorized configurations, these treatments maintain elegant fabric presentation without traditional pleating bulk. Our solutions incorporate commercial-grade hardware systems compatible with various control mechanisms including wireless automation and ADA-compliant manual operation options.
Shading Consultation
Our architectural consultation covers complete project lifecycle support from initial budget estimation to final installation coordination. Services include AutoCAD concept drawings, material specification development, and integration planning with other building systems. We provide technical expertise for specifying three-part construction documentation and creating working budgets aligned with project requirements.
Fabric Selection
We offer comprehensive fabric solutions meeting diverse performance requirements including flame resistance, light control, and durability specifications. Our selection includes NFPA 701-compliant FR fabrics, blackout materials, and sheer options for both residential and commercial applications. Each fabric choice undergoes rigorous performance testing to ensure compliance with industry standards while maintaining aesthetic quality.
