Fashion Tech Starts with the Right Ingredients

   Fashion Tech Woven Wood Lanai Shades

Natural shade material is manufactured of fine yarns, grasses and woods. Natural and man-made fibers are spun and twisted into a variety of yarn styles, then pressure-dyed into beautiful colors. Fine woods are milled into a variety of sizes and shapes and finished with stains or paints. Reeds and slats retain the unique natural grain and variations inherent in all wood products.

Fashion Tech Woven Wood Traditional Roll-Up Shade

Traditional Roll-Up is the most casual of Fashion Tech's Woven Wood styles. You may choose to have the shade roll up from the bottom rather than fold up. Please note: You will see the backside of the material as the shade rolls up and some materials are a different wood color on back. Traditional Roll-Up option is not available with Fabric Liner or Accent Edge Trim.

Fashion Tech Woven Woods Scallop Designs & Trims

Scallops can be finished on the valance and/or the bottom of Roman shades. Classic Roman Shades can be finished only on the bottom of the shade as the valance is wood, not matching material.

All scallop designs are proportioned to the shade width. If you are ordering shades of different widths in the same room, specify this so that they will be proportioned alike.

If you order cutout scallops on the skirt of a Woven Wood Shade mounted inside the window frame, be aware that the shade will not provide privacy at the bottom of the window when closed due to the cutouts in the shade's skirt. We recommend use of the Elevated Scallop for inside mount.

If you are mounting the shade outside the window frame, add at least 4" below the window opening (for privacy) if you will be using a Scallop design. Otherwise, we recommend using the Elevated Scallop instead.

Group A (100 & 300) Scallops:

Group A Scallops: Designs are applied the the front of the valance or skirt only.

Fashion Tech Woven Wood Shades Group A Scallops

Group B (200) Scallops:

Group B Scallops: Designs are cut out of the material to a depth of approximately 3".  Decorative trim is applied on the front and the back of the scallop.

Group B Elevated Scallops: Designs are the same as the Basic Scallops, but the shade material is not cut out and the trim is applied to the front of the shade only.

Fashion Tech Woven Wood and Grass Weaves Separate Shade Valance

Fashion Tech Woven Wood Shades Separate Valance

You can order just a valance in Fashion Tech Woven Wood and Grass Weave Shades for use as a separate top treatment.


Two or More Shades on a Headrail

A great option for sliding glass doors or those large bedroom windows with side vents that you leave open for fresh air. Cover the entire window or sliding glass door with a shade in two portions and with separate lift controls.

There will be a gap of approximately 1/2" between the shade sections.

On a 2 on 1 the lift cords are on the outside ends of the headrail and the left cord lifts the left shade and the right cord lifts the right shade.

Fashion Tech Woven Wood Shades Privacy Fabric Liner

Fashion Tech Woven Wood & Grass Weave Shades Privacy Liner:

Most natural Roman Shade materials are not totally private at night. For complete privacy and/or greater light control, we recommend ordering the Privacy Fabric Liner. The Privacy Fabric Liner is attached to the backside of the material to provide complete privacy and a neutral streetside color. Light transmission will be reduced approximately 40% with the Translucent Liner and 95% with the Room Darkening Liner, depending upon the shade material.

The liner is also helpful in protecting your investment in Fashion Tech Woven Wood Shades from sun exposure.
