Shantung Complete Collection

The Shantung aesthetic is so beloved that we have expanded it beyond light‑filtering into a complete opacity family. Now you can enjoy the signature slubbed texture and subtle sheen in room‑darkening and blackout constructions, allowing the Shantung look to flow seamlessly from living areas (where light filtering is ideal) to bedrooms and media rooms (where darkness is required). The engineering challenge was significant: how to preserve the delicate trilobal fibers and irregular slubs while laminating a dense blackout interlayer. Our solution bonds the decorative face to the blackout membrane using a dot‑laminating process that does not crush the slubs or flatten the texture. The result is a blackout shade that looks and feels identical to its light‑filtering counterpart. Available in the same 12 colors across all opacities. Custom‑made to your exact window dimensions, with your choice of lift system. Finally, design continuity without compromise.

Consistent Texture Across Opacities

A common frustration with “matching” shade collections is that the texture or sheen shifts when you move from light‑filtering to blackout. Shantung Complete avoids that entirely. The face yarns and weave structure are identical across both opacities; the blackout version simply adds an interlayer behind the decorative face. From inside the room, the two fabrics are visually indistinguishable. You can use light‑filtering Shantung in a kitchen and blackout Shantung in an adjacent bedroom, and they’ll read as a perfectly coordinated suite.

Expanded Color Range

The Complete Collection includes all 12 light‑filtering colors plus four deeper, more dramatic hues available exclusively in room‑darkening and blackout:

  • Onyx — deep black with a refined, subtle sheen

  • Platinum — cool metallic grey with heightened luminosity

  • Cognac — warm amber brown with a rich glow

  • Aubergine — opulent, moody purple

These darker tones take full advantage of Shantung’s signature luster, creating a liquid, light‑catching surface.

Blackout‑Lined Options

For clients who want full blackout performance without the added weight of a laminated blackout fabric, we offer blackout‑lined Shantung. The standard light‑filtering fabric remains the face, while a separate blackout liner hangs behind it, attached at the bottom bar. The liner is invisible from the room and rolls up smoothly with the shade. This construction is slightly lighter than the laminated blackout version and is especially well‑suited for extra‑wide windows.

Designer Favorite

Shantung has become a staple for designers because it bridges traditional and contemporary aesthetics with ease. Its forgiving texture hides dust and minor wrinkles, while its soft luminosity elevates both casual and formal spaces. With the full opacity range now available, designers can specify Shantung throughout an entire project—from bright sunrooms to fully darkened media rooms—without sacrificing cohesion.

Care & Maintenance

Shantung is low‑maintenance and easy to live with. Dust regularly using a feather duster or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, and keep the fabric away from excessive moisture. For stubborn marks, professional cleaning is recommended.
