The
biggest obstacle we encountered when starting out, which is still a
problem today, was the lack of schools and manufacturing techniques for
this type of product. Because of the limited educational resources
available, most small workrooms around the world (the foundation of this
industry) are also faced with the difficulties associated with
manufacturing this product. Fabric shades require highly skilled
operators, and are more labor intensive than conventional draperies. As
opposed to other window treatments in the marketplace, shades and valances
are made with materials provided by our customers, in an almost endless
variety of widths, textures, and patterns. Our dedication to
excellence has motivated us to develop our own manufacturing techniques,
improving them each day, and learning with each new trend and each
difficulty we encounter.
We
keep striving to improve, and we are certain that the industry will
benefit from our experience. On this website, you will find the first Flat
Roman Shade order processor in the market, just one example of the kind of
innovations we would like to contribute to the industry. This tool
allows you to calculate in less than a minute yardage and labor costs for
any type of window treatment, regardless of size, window shape or fabric
specifications. We truly hope this tool will be useful to all
industry sectors, including workrooms, specifiers, decorators, fabric
stores, window treatment professionals, installers, and anyone involved in
this fascinating industry. We will gradually be adding new order
processors for the different styles of shades and valances in the market.
Personally,
I have very much enjoyed working on this project. It has been a great
challenge, and we are proud of what has been accomplished. I would like to
thank all our customers for helping us grow as a company, and as
individuals.
Best wishes,
Fidel
