An industry first, theLutron Kirbe vertical drapery system smoothly pulls fabric up and completely out of the way – unlike traditional draperies that move from side-to-side. This unique design provides greater access to windows and views by eliminating the creation of stack back.
Applications
The use of drapery is typically limited by stack back – the mass of fabric that gathers as traditional draperies are opened, equating to approximately one-third the total width of the drapery (left picture). The vertical uptake of the Kirbé system eliminates this issue, making it ideal for narrow windows or other areas that could not accommodate drapery in the past (right picture).
For floor-to-ceiling glass, the Kirbé can be recessed into the ceiling, leaving the top of the window unobstructed. It can provide a dramatic way to reveal the screen in a home theater and was designed to clear door hardware, allowing French and sliding doors to fully exploit their view. A decorative cornice from Lutron can also be used for a stylized finish with no need for a recessed pocket.
