Hotel Drapery
Hotel drapery is where the guest experience is decided. The studio specifies hotel programs as layered motorized systems — sheer for daytime, decorative for evening, three-pass blackout for sleep — all inherently fire-retardant, all integrated with the property management system, all engineered for daily use across thousands of operations.
Why this discipline
Why Hotel Drapery
Inherently fire-retardant (IFR) fabric to NFPA 701 is non-negotiable for hospitality.
Motorized layered systems integrated with keypads and PMS are the hospitality standard.
Acoustic absorption from heavy drapery measurably improves guest-room privacy ratings.
