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.
