Style, Pleat, and Finish Guidance

Decorative rods, traverse rods, and concealed tracks are selected for load, projection, and visual alignment with millwork.

Operational Control

Manual and automated systems are specified around usability, window scale, and long-term maintenance access.

Light Control That Supports Better Rest

How We Improve Blackout Performance

We focus on overlap, return, mounting position, and lining quality to reduce side and center light intrusion.
