Trade Program

A fabrication partner, not a reseller

Most window treatment companies resell what a factory ships. Exotic manufactures: five in-house seamstresses in our own South Florida atelier, an automated cutting line, and a certified motorization team (Lutron, Crestron, Somfy Expert, SDN Specialist) that speaks your integrator's language. For designers, builders, architects, and property managers - including commercial and hospitality projects - that means one accountable partner from drawings to installed, programmed treatments.

Where our designers go, we go: see the Fasano Fifth Avenue case study - Miami designer Carla D'Aquino's palette, sewn in our workroom and installed in New York.

We work to your spec and your schedule: memo sampling, budgetary quotes from floor plans, recessed-pocket and pre-wire documentation during framing, coordinated installs around your other trades, and after-care your client will not call you about.

The Workroom Program

Trade services built around our atelier

A sample kit for your library

Request a curated fabric sample kit for your studio: performance screens from Mermet and Phifer, sheers and decorative fabrics from our European and North American mills, with the specifications your presentations need. Ask through the form below and tell us what your projects lean on.

Lunch-and-learn at the atelier

Bring your team to our Fort Lauderdale workroom: see ripplefold and pinch-pleat sewn by the seamstresses who will make your drapery, watch motorization demos on Lutron and Somfy hardware, and leave with the details that make specification easy. We host you and yours over lunch - book a slot below.

Building approvals, handled

Condo boards, HOAs and property managers ask for paperwork before treatments go in - certificates of insurance, elevator reservations, product specifications, installation methods. We prepare the package and work the approval with the building so your project is not stuck in a manager's inbox.

Volume terms

The published trade discount is 10% on all purchases. On multi-unit and multi-project volume, better terms are available - quoted per program, in writing, when we see the scope.
