What are Pirouette shades?

Pirouette Window Shadings is a modern alternative to fabric shades — clean lines, graceful effect, and elegant design.

Soft, horizontal fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing.
Sheer backing allows for enhanced outside views.
You have the full beauty of the fabric appear on the inside.
Available in light-filtering and room-darkening opacities

A picture will imprint this design idea in your mind. So, let’s take a look.

All in all, you have a face-fabric and a sheer rear fabric, and the two fabrics interlace using a unique design.

How do you open the face fabric to allow view through the sheer fabric?

The answer is the innovative design — invisible strings. The innovative Invisi-Lift™ system suspends the soft vanes.

Invisible strings uplifting the decor is a stretch of the imagination. How can you do that?

“It always seems impossible until it’s done,”.

Still, your alter ego may say how can strings be not seen and still uplift.

The invisible string system consists of clear strands that operate the horizontal fabric vanes.
