The Art of Window Styling 130 RIGOROUS TESTING METHODS We use proprietary manufacturing processes and rigorous testing methods to ensure our products meet the strictest controls and international standards for performance. It’s why our window treatments deliver unrivalled beauty, performance and long-term reliability. We test all our products performance for: • Glare control • View-through and privacy • Heat gain control • Reaction to fire • Sound absorption • Breaking strength, elongation and tear resistance • Colour fastness and UV-resistance. We also perform assembly tests to make sure our fabrics combine perfectly with our hardware systems, so: • Fabrics don’t show irregularities like spots or holes • Fabrics don’t fray or cup • Fabrics don’t scratch • Fabrics don’t show waving, V-shapes or wavy edges • Fabrics roll up straight. 7 / W H O W E A R E
