TRADITIONAL SHADES
Timeless Classics hand made in NZ
Traditional Shades
New Zealand Made
Traditional shades are all made by stretching and hand stitching the fabric over the frame.
Shade Edging: All traditional shades require a braid or bias on the edge of the frame to cover the hand stitching.  Please choose from our selection of braid for scalloped edges. Some Braid comes with matching fringes (these are noted in our "Trim and Bead samples" catalogue). If not specified we will use our standard "best match" trim/fringe to match the colour you have chosen for your shade.
Beads: Rather than using fringes, you have the option of using beads instead, refer to the pricelist and our "Trim and Bead samples" catalogue.
Bias: A bias option is available on frames with straight edges. (a Bias is a strip of fabric sewn around the edge of the frame). The bias can either be in the same fabric, or in a complimentary fabric. 
Fabrics: All fabrics are "natural" to some extent, and are hence subject to slight variations in colour etc from roll to roll. Some fabrics (like Raw Silks, Indian Cottons etc etc) contain naturally occurring slubs, colour shots and variations in texture. This should not be seen as a fault, rather a feature of the natural product we are working with.  
Suitable Fabric: Not all fabric is suitable for traditional shades, the fabrics in our swatch catalogue are labelled as "traditional" if they are suitable.
Lining:  Lining - this is a fine layer of fabric used to lengthen the life of the shade, and provide a denser look for lighter fabrics (diffuses the light coming from the shade), it can be either cream (Tr-lineCr),  or white (Tr-LineWh)
Fittings: If Euro fitting (40mm ring holder), or American Fittings (10mm holder at top of frame) are required, It will require a special frame to be hand made for your customer. There is a charge for this shown on pricelist based on size of shade.
Recovering Customer Frames: If you client has an unusual or treasured frame they would like to get recovered we are happy to do this. Customers frames are re-painted before re-covering.
Using Customer Fabric: For Traditional shades we are unable to use taffeta. We recommend fabrics which have a natural stretch.  Some fabrics are not suitable for traditional shades, please send a sample if you are unsure. We will take all care, but if there are problems then our liability will be limited to supplying the shade(s) in our (Best Match) fabric. A fabric credit will be deducted from your invoice when using customers own fabric to cover the cost of freighting the fabric to us.
