The Shading Solution Pyramid

The Shading Solution Pyramid, created by Decorating with Fabric is a strategy for Architects in designing and specifying successful window covering applications. The base of the pyramid addresses the 5 areas that need to be understood for Engineered Shading Solutions to be created.

The mid-level of the Pyramid allows the Architect to provide actual solutions to Residential, Commercial and Facility type projects. The top level of Engineered Shading Solutions is achieved after both function and form are addressed and the specifications and drawings can be completed.
