Prestige Collection
Reinforced Roller Tubes
Standard roller shades typically rely on 1‑inch tubes with thin 0.020‑inch walls—adequate for small windows but prone to flexing on wider spans. Prestige shades upgrade to 1.5‑inch diameter tubes with 0.050‑inch wall thickness, delivering dramatically greater rigidity. This prevents the roller from bowing under the weight of wide or heavy fabrics, ensuring the shade rolls up perfectly square. No telescoping, no cone‑shaped rolls, no drifting bottom bar. The larger tube also supports higher‑torque motors and extends battery life for motorized versions.
Milan‑Design Fabrics
The Prestige fabric library includes exclusive patterns sourced from Italian design houses—styles unavailable to any other North American shade manufacturer:
-
Shibori — a textured weave inspired by Japanese tie‑dye, creating organic, undulating shadow effects
-
Cannele — fine vertical ribs reminiscent of tailored menswear
-
Ombre — woven (not printed) gradations that shift from light to dark with subtle sophistication
Each fabric is produced in limited runs and hand‑inspected to ensure flawless weaving quality.
Extended 15‑Year Warranty
Prestige components are backed by a 15‑year limited warranty, covering:
-
Fabric (against fading and delamination)
-
Clutch and motor (against mechanical failure)
-
Roller tube (against sagging or deformation)
These components are tested to 50,000 cycles, equivalent to more than 25 years of daily operation. The warranty is fully transferable, adding long‑term value for future homeowners.
White‑Glove Measuring Available
Prestige clients can opt for a white‑glove measuring service in select metropolitan areas. A trained technician visits your home, performs laser‑accurate measurements, notes recess irregularities, and reviews fabric and operation preferences. They also photograph the space to ensure color and style compatibility. This service eliminates measurement risk and is fully refundable with purchase.
Bespoke Hardware Finishes
Where standard shades offer basic bracket colors, Prestige shades elevate the hardware to a design feature. Choose from:
-
Polished chrome
-
Satin brass
-
Antique bronze
-
Oil‑rubbed bronze
-
Matte black
The brackets, cassette, and bottom bar can all be specified in the same finish for a unified look. For truly custom projects, we can match any metal finish sample you provide.
Acoustical Performance Upgrade
Prestige shades can be ordered with an acoustic backing layer that increases the fabric’s Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) to 0.35—comparable to a dedicated acoustic panel. This upgrade is ideal for home theaters, recording studios, and open‑plan offices. The backing is black, fully concealed, and does not alter the fabric’s face appearance.
