Natural Woven Shades - Edge Binding Update
|
|
|
Effective immediately, the appearance of edge binding color Dusk CT-805 has changed due to a vendor update. The new color (shown) is now being used in all current production and does not match the swatch shown in the existing sample book.
We no longer have inventory of the previous color version. As a result, all new, remake, and warranty orders will be fulfilled using the new color.
Sample decks will be updated during the next sample book release. In the meantime, we recommend placing an order for a new swatch of Dusk CT-805 to ensure your sample card reflects the current color.

- Longer-Lasting Tension: Adjustments within the system help maintain proper tension over time, supporting long-term reliability.
- Greater Stability Across Unique Shade Configurations: For shades with uncommon size or fabric combinations, the system now better maintains both balance and tension, ensuring dependable operation.
