 DRAPERY SPECIFICATIONSOur custom window treatments are made to professional high-end workroom standards right here in the USA. These panels contain the same dressmaker details and quality workmanship found in high-end custom designer draperies. We have highly skilled and trained seamstresses and designers on staff. 100% Dupioni Silk.
Dupioni is a pure silk fabric made out of raw silk fiber. It is silk at its best natural form. The inherent random slubs distinguish it from other lesser quality silks. Please be aware that silk is a natural product and therefore will always have a small amount of natural flaws Premium Sateen 100% Cotton Lining:
We use only Premium Sateen 100% Cotton Lining in our draperies. . Many silk panels on the market contain lighter weight cotton/polyester blends or no lining at all. Our Premium Sateen 100% Cotton Lining gives a tailored finish to our panels and provides UV protection and extra light filtration. We use ivory colored lining in all or our draperies, another color can be requested. Suedeline Lining:
All of our custom roman shades, and Austrian shade come standard with a suedeline lining. Suedeline lining provides added structure to the shades as well as a semi blackout.
Heavy 100% Cotton Flannel Interlining:
Interlining is a soft, 100% cotton flannel material that is placed between the silk and the lining. Silks by their nature are fine, delicate materials and the addition of interlining adds an unmistakable dimension of body, fullness and softness to the draperies. In addition, interlining gives additional protection against fading from sunlight and provides a degree of insulation in winter. Blindstitched Hems:
We provide double 4" bottom hems on the silk face fabric and double 2" hems in the lining. In addition, all side hems are double 2" hems. All of the hems are blindstitched in matching high quality thread. Blindstiching provides an almost invisible stitch line. Matching Quality Thread:
We only used the finest cotton/poly threads available. We match the thread color to the silk fabric. We do not use nylon or clear plastic thread. Hand-Sewn Drapery Weights:
Hand-sewn drapery weights are placed in each bottom corners and the seams of each panel to enhance the flow of the material. Pre-inserted Drapery Pins: Drapery pins come pre-inserted so that you can hang the panels immediately. Slight adjustments can be made to the length of the panels by moving the pins up or down. |
