WHO MAKES YOUR PANELS? All of our panels are custom made right here in our shop. Our highly trained and experienced staff works individually seeing each panel through from cutting to sewing.

WHAT IS FLANNEL INTERLINING AND WHAT PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE?
Flannel Interlining (Western Heavy Flannel) is a soft, 100% cotton flannel material that is placed between the silk and the lining materials. Silks by their nature are fine, thin materials and the addition of Flannel Interlining adds body, fullness and softness to the draperies. We highly recommend it for a full, rich look. Interlining is optional and has an additional charge.

DO YOUR PANELS BLOCK LIGHT?
Our panels with our standard lining will provide complete privacy but will not block a large amount of light. If you need to darken your room, or do not like the look of light filtering through the silk, we offer a lining that is designed to block light; Black-Out lining.

White House Blue Room. Example of custom drapery. DO YOU OFFER LIGHT BLOCKING LININGS?
Yes, we offer two linings specifically designed to filter sunlight. Dim-Out Lining: Also known as Thermal Suede, this lining is used in place of regular lining and will block about 40% of visible light. The material is heavier than the other linings but still acceptably soft to use with silks. The fabric is 50% cotton, 50% polyester and is crease and soil resistant. Black-Out Lining: As the name suggests, this lining is designed to block about 100% of visible light. The material is a bit heavier still than the Dim-Out. Some sacrifice will be made using this lining as your panels will hang in a less relaxed fashion. The material is 50% cotton, 50% polyester and is crease and soil resistant.

WHAT TYPE OF LININGS DO YOU USE/OFFER?
All of our panels include our standard 100% cotton lining available in either white or ivory.

CAN I GET COLOR SWATCHES – CUTTING – OF THE LININGS?
Yes, we offer free cut samples of all our colors and linings.
