Tilting vanes open creates a soft, veiled view of the outdoors. It is perfect for inviting daylight in while maintaining a sense of comfort.
We help you identify if glare needs controlling.
Closed vanes and evening coverage

Different fabrics create different moods, even in the same color.
Room darkening and the window edges
