Materials and workmanship
Wood- Choose from two beautiful wood species, basswood and phoenixwood. Basswood reveals a smooth elegant finish in contrast to phoenixwood which exhibits a more flamboyant grain with plenty of character and texture. Both are treated with prescription wood conditioning reducing in service shrinking and expansion
Slats– Are all quarter sawn providing the blind with superior stability and durability with slats less susceptible to inherent cupping, twisting and bowing. Also the resultant tight straight grain of quarter cut wood enriches the wood’s character
Manufacturing- Exceptional craftsmanship with trouble free design and engineering ensure long term performance and value. We feel the best window covering is the result of meticulous control in each step of its creation
Hardware– Our tilter system delivers even, precise and incremental movement when operating the slats making opening and closing the slats a breeze. Not to be outdone our advanced cord lift operation makes lifting and lowering the blind child’s play
Finish– Durable multiple step sanding and coating system creating deep brilliant finishes on wood grains and silk smooth finishes on solid colors
