Please refer to the fabric list for further information. Depending on the fabric, railroading may not be available in all cases. When that happens, fabric panels will be seamed vertically to achieve the width requested. Railroading is suitable for flat Fold with Batten Back and Soft Fold. It is not recommended for Flat Fold without Seams. Note: For fabric AA0210, railroading is default for Soft Fold and Flat Fold with Batten Back. For AA0210 Flat Fold without Seams, we will join the fabric panels vertically when the ordered width exceeds the fabric width. Fabric AB0203 with Ribbon Banding For fabric AB0203, if ribbon banding option is specified and when the ordered width exceeds 56, there will be vertical seams with varying width in the center panel.

Fabric Information Please note- All fabrics will adjust to the environment and to environmental changes. These changes to fabric may include color fading, fabric stretching, fabric shrinkage or other damages. Color Variation Natural fabrics especially linen, cotton and silk are made from natural materials. Color lot variations may occur to fabrics due to varying rates of color absorption during the color application process. Slight imperfections and variations in color are all part of the natural beauty of this product and should be considered to be normal and acceptable. Colors may appear to vary depending on the time of day and lighting type under which the product is observed. The appearance of color variation may also occur if the shade is partially or fully lowered. All fabric colors gradually fade due to UV exposure. If a shade is left half open for a long time without being fully lowered regularly, the fabrics will fade unevenly. Fabrics will fade more evenly if shades are lowered during the day. Naturally, parts of the shades that are overlapped by another piece of fabric will not receive as much sun exposure, and thus the rate in which it fades will be slower than those parts that are more exposed. For the best color match, order all matching shades for a room at the same time. Pattern availability and color lot match between orders cannot be assured. Any variation in color is in accordance with industry standards. Light will penetrate through the pin holes of seams/stitching. Wrinkles Natural fibers, such as linen, cotton and silk, are fairly inelastic, tend to have wrinkles, and are prone to shrinkage. The tendency to wrinkle is often considered as part of the fabric s unique characteristic. If your Roman shades are wrinkled, hang the shade in a fully lowered position for a few days. It will help minimize the wrinkles, allowing them to usually disappear naturally. Surface Imperfections Due to the nature of fibers and the weaving process, some imperfections such as slubs in the weave are normal and are not considered to be defects. Slubs in silk, linen and cotton are expected for their unique and natural beauty, and should not be considered to be defects. Imperfections on fabrics in longer lengths may occur. These are caused by the weaving process. For fabric by the yard, surface imperfections occur in longer length. These imperfections will be clearly marked with a label. Asymmetry Due to the natural characteristics of fabrics, slight shrinkage and stretching may occur. Variations in size and shape of the shade are to be expected and deemed acceptable. These variations may cause slight asymmetry and may alter the appearance of the finished shade. Specifically, you may notice a slight variation in width and/or length on one of the shades compared to what was ordered. Even with shrinkage control in the manufacturing process, most linen, cotton, and silk fabrics tend to shrink during or after production. Thus, the width and length of the shade may have changed slightly after the shade has been in operation for some time. Washing the shade can further intensify this shrinkage. Width and length difference between different shades may occur due to fabric shrinkage and manufacturer tolerance.
