Transparent Fabrics

Let the Sun in

Our diverse transparent fabric collection gives you a multitude of decorating options. We offer linen, textured, sunscreen look, paper with sequins… all allowing full outward visibility and a softened glow of natural light. These fabrics are great for northern exposure windows because they let in all available natural light. They also complement drapery, allowing some warmth when the drapes are open and privacy when the drapes are closed.

Compatible with:

• Panel track
• Roller shade
• Roman shade
• Fixed shades

Translucent Fabrics

Add a Warm Glow

Our translucent fabrics all have a unique element of interest, from a subtle sheen to pronounced textures to multi-tone. They provide some privacy and a warm, intimate glow to your room with diffused sunlight. In the evening with the lights on, only silhouettes can be seen from the outside. These fabrics reduce glare and provide protection from harmful UV rays. These fabrics are eco-friendly and PVC free.

Privacy Fabrics

Compromise between Translucent and Opaque

Our extensive collection of privacy fabrics has it all: offering patterns, tone on tone, multi-tone, solids, and textures, allowing you to find the perfect fabric. Privacy fabrics do just that – provide privacy while considerably blocking the sun. There will be a slight amount of light visible, but no outward or inward visibility. Privacy shades are perfect for a bedroom or bathroom or where your windows face the street or the neighbours. Our rich collection allows you to create from contemporary to glamourous décor.

14 Series, 40 colours.

Compatible with:

• Panel track
• Roller shade
• Roman shade
• Fixed shades

Opaque Fabrics

Who turned off the sun?

Our opaque fabrics let you block out the sunlight completely. Our rich collection of fabrics has a palette of exclusive colours, textures and patterns. 7 of our styles also offer a matching translucent or privacy fabric to perfectly co-ordinate if dual shades are selected or to unify a home with similar patterns and colours that satisfy the light requirements of each space. Ideal for bedrooms, where darkness gives you a restful sleep or theatre rooms for vivid colours on your screen. These fabrics are PVC free, some are made from Trevira CS. They also protect your interior furnishings from UV damage, provide privacy, act as a thermal insulator, and allow for complete light blockage.

12 Series, 65 colours.

Compatible with:

• Panel track
• Roller shade
• Roman shade
• Fixed shades

SunScreen Fabrics

Performance fabrics

Sunscreen fabrics are performance or technical fabrics which give the ultimate control over the natural light. Our broad range of sunscreens make them appropriate for any application. Whether your goal is reducing solar heat gain,
protecting interiors against damaging UV, or improving the comfort of any interior space through glare control or temperature control, sunscreens are the solution.

Added benefits include energy efficiency as your air conditioner works less in the summer and your furnace works less in the winter. The diffused natural light can also reduce the need for interior lighting and electricity costs. Sun screens also allow various degrees of outward visibility through different weaves and opennesses. Sunscreens are available in 1%, 3%, and 5% opennesses meaning that they block 99%, 97%, and 95% respectively of the sun’s rays from entering the interior and the inverse with respect to outward visibility. There is better outward visibility with a 5% openness, less so with a 1% openness.

Furthermore, different colours of sunscreen, even at the same openness provide varying levels of visibility with the darker colours giving a sharper view than lighter colours. The compromise is that darker colours absorb more heat from the sun while lighter colours reflect more of the sun rays. One sunscreen series, DX offers the best of both worlds, a variety of colours, but the outward facing side is white!

Includes a wide range of fabrics with a reflective backing that reflect light and heat.

9 series, 58 colours.

Eco/Sustainable Fabrics

Environmentally friendly

Our sustainable fabrics have the environment in mind as they are made from sustainable and energy efficient fabrics. Our sustainable collection contains no PVC and the fabrics are made of Trevira CS, an inherently fire-retardant fabric. They are performance fabrics with all the qualities of a sunscreen and the look of an elegant fabric – the perfect fusion between functionality and aesthetics. Some of these fabrics are available with metalized backing for extra efficiency. Eco/sustainable fabrics are the primary choice of designers and architects for their sustainability, functionality, and beauty.

10 Series, 68 colours.

Compatible with:

• Panel track
• Roller shade
• Roman shade (limited series)
• Fixed shades

Illusions Fabrics

Our Illusions fabrics are the definition of fashionable light control. Produced with high quality translucent or opaque bands of fabric connecting two sheer veils. For increased functionality, you can tilt the bands to any angle to easily alter the level of light penetration from sunny to complete privacy.

3 Series, 9 colours.

Compatible with:

• Illusions shades

Interlude Fabrics

Interlude fabrics let in illuminating light throughout the days or block it for privacy and comfort. Effortlessly control your desired amount of light by simply raising or lowering the bands of sheer and translucent fabric. Interlude fabrics are the ideal solution for Venetian elegance fused with the comfort and simplicity of roller shades.

13 Series, 62 colours.

Compatible with:

• Interlude shades

Reflective Fabrics

Dark fabrics absorb and radiate heat while lighter fabrics can flood interiors with light and glare. However, reflective-backed fabrics drastically improve the solar control performance of any sunscreen regardless of your colour selection. Each square meter of reflective fabric can save over $100 in yearly cooling costs vs. glazing alone.

6 Series, 37 colours.
