Fashion Tech Woven Wood and Grass Weave Shades - The unique woven reeds of Fashion Tech Woven Wood and Grass Weave Shades bring the outdoors in to this cozy sitting room. Natural fibers and woods combine to make a shade that is easy to care for. Fashion Techs quality hardware ensures years of worry-free operation. Options include scallops, decorative trim, privacy and room darkening liners and Accent Edge Binding, providing the versatility to suit any decorating need. Fashion Tech Starts with the Right Ingredients 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. Unique Operating Systems Select from several operating systems for your Fashion Tech Woven Wood and Grass Weave Shades. Choose the traditional, clean appearance of the Roman Shade system (above) available in two valance styles: Roman and Classic Roman. Or select the casual, beach-house look of the Traditional Roll-Up system (below). Both operate with a simple lift cord and lock at any height desired. Traditional Roman

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. |

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. |

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. |


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. |

On a 3 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. The center shade lift cord is located on either the right or left side of the center shade. |

Discover the amazing convenience and versatility of a shade that can lower from the top or raise from the bottom with the DuoFold Shade.
Raise your shade
normally from the bottom up and/or lower it from the top down for room lighting while
maintaining privacy. |
Cord controls
will be on both the right and left-hand sides of the shade with this option. |

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. |

The Privacy
liner is available in White, Ivory and Khaki Translucent fabric for privacy and sun
protection. It is 100% Rayon with a water repellant finish. |
The Room
Darkening liner is also available in White and Ivory fabric for total blackout privacy and
complete sun protection. It is 50% Cotton and 50% Polyester with an Acrylic foam backing. |
Fashion Tech Woven Wood & Grass Weave Shades Accent Edge Binding
Fashion Tech Woven Wood and Grass Weave Shades are available with Decorative Accent Edge Bindings that finish off the rough wood edges and create a more formal appearance in any decor.
Not available
with the bamboo woods. |
|
Not available on
Traditional Roll-Up shades. |
Accent Bindings can be sewn onto just the front edges of the shades, or wrapped around the edges as shown on this image: |
High Gloss Finish
All Fashion Tech Woven Woods are available in a special High Gloss custom finish. This finish gives a high lustre to the appearance of the shade material. It is most suitable on the materials that primarily feature wood slats or reeds with a limited amount of cording.

High Gloss customized finish is Flame Retardant and passes State of California Certification. It also includes a Stain Repellant. As it is a custom finish, there is an additional cost.
Fashion Tech Woven Woods are Durable and Easy to Maintain

Periodic vacuuming with a brush attachment is all that is normally needed to ensure lasting beauty. With proper care and maintenance, Fashion Tech Woven Wood and Grass Weave Shades will last for years.
