Introducing the FAN PLEAT - The Drapery
that Stacks Away to Nothing!
|
This revolutionary Fan Pleat drapery system is a tiny-stacking drapery
system that allows you to keep your wide open views, and still have minimal stacking
to get the drapery off your windows! This reduces your costs with less fabric, and
less labor, yet you still get an elegant custom look!
Great for areas that are all window and no wall space to stack the drapery out of
the way of the view. This can be a ceiling installation, or wall with the choice
of aluminum, white or FANWOOD which adds the beauty of finely
turned wood poles.
"I have been using your products for over 29 years now. The fan rod is fabulous
and doesn't give a wit of trouble. I do not understand why anyone would use traverse
rods if given the choice." Dina Fornea, Bothell WA
|
With this FAN PLEAT Drapery System, you can open up WIDE areas of
window viewing due to its slim, tiny-stacking accordian folds. For example, a 150"
(12 ½ foot) rod takes only 11" on each side for stacking, whereas Pinch or French
pleating would take 37" on each side.
Easily understood when compared closely: One FAN PLEAT folds into
2 thicknesses at the top as compared to EIGHT thicknesses with pinch pleating.
Each FAN PLEAT is a straight line from ceiling to floor. With the
FAN PLEAT system, the rod required to clear your window is much smaller.
Since material, labor and rod costs are based on rod widths, you SAVE as much as
30%.

CEILING HUNG DRAPERIES . . .
FAN PLEAT installations can be ceiling or wall attached.
The ceiling rod is a handsome, "miniaturized" aluminum extrusion with a front profile
of only 1/4", silicone treated for smooth frictionless glide of drapery.
Batons are used instead of pull cords. These are attractive white plastic
wands that hang from the rod, behind the leading pleat. The drapery glides on nylon
tabs which are riveted to the inside buckram.
"We've had your draperies since 1957. They've been cleaned so many times and are
still just great!" Mrs Jack Emerson Stevensville, MT

A column of cloth. No other pleating system provides such a trim stacking. Drapery
shown above stacks in a space of 28 inches, extends to cover 16 feet of rod.
Optional: Use Ceiling Track with Pinch Pleat draperies, by adding eye-slides.
"25 years ago, I ordered my living room draperies from you. They are still going
strong! Now I am about to move . ." Marcia Barrake, Hyannis, MA
|
WALL HUNG DRAPERY . . .
FAN PLEAT installations may be attached with wall brackets where ceiling
attachments are not feasible. This wall rod is a handsome aluminum or white extrusion
of only 7/8" with the drapery hanging below the rod, lovely as is, or paintable
to match your walls. (Rustoleum appliance epoxy has been said to work well.) Or
if you have wall paint left over, you can match it exactly.
|
|
|
 Double hung treatments (sheers or lining & overdrapes)
look and work great also.
"I installed the treatments last evening - it looks great! The fan pleat was very
easy to install, with well written directions. It was a pleasure - my client is
pleased! Thanks Again!" Interior Decorator Beth Allen of Red Door Decors, Ambler
PA
The FAN PLEAT can also be converted to use on a Decorator Rod where
the drapery will hang below the rings. Stacking is limited by the width of the rings,
usually 1/2" and pin hooks are inserted.
|
FANWOOD WALL HUNG DRAPERY . . .
Our Fanwood Rod represents a major breakthrough for the Drapery System.
If offers the same compact stacking with the beauty of finely turned wood poles.
These rods are available in 2 styles, Square and Round Fluted, and several finishes.
Or available unfinished, ready to stain or paint to match your décor.
Fanwood Styles and Finials
Luxurious, with its generous fullness, FAN PLEATing performs handsomely
in formal, casual, and elaborate settings.
|
|
|
Fanwood Rods, Pole sets, wood poles and café rods, like decorative traverse rods
are always on display - full-time accents at your windows. And panels hung on them
can be functional. They open and close.
Creamy neutral fabrics show off these exquisite decorative rods while adding another
decorative element to your room.

|
The FAN PLEAT
also works well for RV's and Boats, in the tiny way it
stacks up and give you that look and feel of home. Extremely durable in the sun,
and when combined with washable fabrics, they are easily washed and rehung the same
day!
What Makes the Fan Pleat Different? . . .
The FAN PLEAT is made with a standard buckram depth of 5". A
4" depth is optional
in tighter areas such as cornices or double-hung
treatments. (Sheers and overdraperies)
All FAN PLEAT rods are LIGHT-WEIGHT & come with EASY-TO-INSTALL instructions.
And with Homespun Fabrics, you have draperies that are easily washable with no pin
hooks to remove and replace.
