Windochine textiles are ideally suited to a wide variety of window treatments, from gauzy sheers and tailored flat-fold roman shades, to a range of screening devices, wall covering, custom bedding, table top, lampshades and tailored upholstery applications. Their signature traits as natural hand weaves evoke a cool, quiet and refined sensibility. Windochine textiles can both stand on their own in a spare, restful space, or sensually complement a richly layered environment. Always subtle, they can take the edge off, and add an edge – often at the same time. Their textural and lustrous qualities are such that they beg to be touched, even stroked. These are fabrics designed to be appreciated by connoisseurs. Knowing they are derived from indigenous organic materials, hand gathered, processed and woven in a highly labor-intensive sequence gives particular resonance to the resulting accomplishment. Most Windochine fabrics can be flame retarded to satisfy NFPA 701 requirements for commercial applications. Fabrics paper-backed for wall covering can similarly be flame-treated for commercial applications.
