Vertical Shades Calgary
In many situations, only vertical window treatments can accommodate the functional requirement of wide and tall window elevations. The main challenge of a window covering is often to re-direct the heat and harmful rays from the sun without creating a dark dreary environment inside. Vertical style treatments can be both fashionable and affordable solutions for patio sliding doors, angled windows and commercial office spaces. We are Vertical blinds Calgary.
Wide fabric panel systems are now available such as the Hunter Douglas Skyline system or Panel track fabric panels can simplify a treatment and create a clean and sophisticated look for any room. Cellular shades have also been redesigned to hang vertically along a traversing track system to treat wider windows and coordinate with other treatments in the room while increasing energy efficiency where heat loss is an issue. Vertical louvered blinds also offer a good degree of light control and are well suited for larger windows and commercial spaces providing they conform to the specific fire codes in that jurisdiction. PVC louvers are traditionally used for commercial applications because of their durability and easy maintenance, but today, patterned and embossed louvers are changing that view. Now these louvers are decorative as well as durable and easy to clean. If room darkening is desired, PVC louvers or fabric louvers combined with a groover style PVC sleeve can provide both the decorative and necessary functional properties.
Privacy sheers and Hunter Douglas Luminette sheers offer adjustable degrees of privacy and light control by combining the softness of a drapery sheer with the versatility of a vertical blind. Room darkening can also be achieved with most of these products by using opaque fabrics or attachable liners. Other products such as Hunter Douglas Modern Drapery combine the use of soft drapery fabrics with streamline track systems to create rounded uniform folds rather than traditional pleated headings.
Hardware options include designer tracks with integrated valances, mono control tilt / draw systems, and motorized track systems are also available to treat a variety of applications.
Note: Vertical treatments are typically designed to treat larger widths and heights than most other window coverings however stacking space is determined by product selected. We are vertical blinds Calgary!
These products may be limited to commercial applications based on current child safe legislation. Ask your sales representative for further details.

Sliding Shutters
As shutters can be made using a variety of materials, each has its own benefit as it relates to climate and application. PVC & Fauxwood shutters are recommended for areas with high exposure to sunlight and / or high humidity. Aluminum shutters can be made into the widest panels and can also sustain direct sunlight however special consideration must be paid as they can also absorb tremendous amounts of heat. Wood shutters are particularly best suited for shaded windows and offer the broadest range of finishes considering that they can be custom stained or painted in almost any color.
No matter the available space or application, consider sliding panel systems as the solution to any window covering challenge.

Coil Drapery
Compared to traditional woven metal mesh, Fabricoil gives you far greater design flexibility to meet your specific vision, functional requirements, and budget. You choose the material; stainless steel, metal, aluminum, brass, gauge, color, coating/finish, panel thickness, space, mounting system, and more.
Possibilities and applications include; a reflective ceiling treatment in a theater above the stage, glistening multi-story wire mesh drapery in a luxury hotel, casinos or auto showrooms where curved dividers are required, private homes where unique and creative accents are needed, safety screening in industrial settings for commercial security, sculptural forms in urban gardens and aviary wire cloth netting in zoos, dramatic backdrops in television studios providing see-through barriers and so much more…
Coil drapery is a permanent material that’s lightweight and easy-to-install. The fabric is flameproof, has a low life cycle cost and is ideal for safety applications due to its superior strength and energy absorption qualities. It is also low maintenance: the metal tone finishes will not fade or darken and the material tends to shed dust. It stays clean with an occasional brushing or vacuuming.
Notes: This product can be extremely heavy and often requires structural support or backing to accommodate particular installations. Let GiCor provide specifications and construction details to ensure that your project go accordingly to plan.
