Decorating with Fabric has rebranded it's line of solar shades to InSync Solar Shades. This new name reflects the advances in our ability to provide the latest automation technology in the industry. In particular the InSync Digital Network.

InSync Skylight Shading System 2

  
  
  
  
  

The InSync Skylight Shading System 2 designed specifically for applications where a very large Skylight shade is needed. The maximum sizes reach up to 13' wide and 20' high. The SolarSmart Skylight Shading System is simple and elegant. A tubular gearmotor is mounted at one end of The SolarSmart Skylight Shading System, connected to the opposite end by steel fabric support cables. Fabric is driven by the motor and draw cables. The included Spring Assist cassette helps provide maximum tension.

The InSync Skylight Shading System 2 can be installed in several orientations: incline-up, incline-down, vertical-up, vertical-down, or horizontal.

You Can't Spec What You Don't Know

  
  
  
  
  

During the past 3 years I have presented well over 50 Lunch & Learn sessions.  It has been very rewarding to educate hundreds of Architects and Designers about the many details and options in the world of Draperies and Window Coverings.  What I have learned is that the specifications regarding Draperies and Window Coverings are often very light in terms of the necessary details. These incomplete specs eventually leaves the contractor confused and the architect scrambling to fill in the missing gaps.

The Year in Review

  
  
  
  
  

This has been a very productive and exciting year for Decorating with Fabric. Looking back through my calendar I am amazed of what we accomplished. I want to thank the many firms that believed in us and gave us the opportunity to provide our creations and installations. This blog post will try to thank these firms, institutions and individuals for their business and loyalty. I will also thank the many architectural firms for allowing me to visit their offices and present my Lunch & Learn programs. Finally, I will share some photos of the work we created this year.

In keeping up with my past several posts and newsletters, I am sharing some recent installations. Below is a ceiling we upholstered in a Faux Leather. It is recessed into a wood frame. I particulary like the detailing of using textiles as a ceiling treatment.
