Drapery hardware is primarily used to hang draperies, but it may also be utilized for any number of other decorative functions. Decorative hardware rods can be used to hang rugs from a wall or to hang a roman shade. Stage Hardware is available for those special projects that use extra wide and extra long draperies. Stage hardware, as well as white traverse hardware is available motorized. Iris Window Coverings is recognized in the Pacific Northwest as an expert in motorized applications and we can provide motorized hardware for almost any situation.
White traversing drapery hardware is generally a white or off-white piece of rolled steel formed in a “C” shape that has plastic carriers inserted inside that have a hole through them that allows a pin from a drapery to go through it. These also come in expandable sets that can be utilized on a range of window widths. Traverse hardware is generally operated by a continuous cord that opens and closes the drapery, but a baton can also be used. White traverse drapery hardware is especially useful for motorized situations since the motor is attached directly to the drapery rod and is hidden by the drapery itself.
Decorative drapery hardware is generally made from wood or from iron. These rods can be equipped with cord traverse or with rings and generally are outfitted with decorative finials that finish off the end of the rod. Iris Window Coverings supplies only the highest quality decorative hardware from the leading national manufacturers.
Architectural hardware is generally utilized in commercial or medical applications. These rods are typically extruded aluminum and are available mainly in an anodized aluminum finish. Residential treatments using this hardware to obtain a super sleek modern look are also common.
Medical (cubicle tracks and IV tracks) and heavy duty stage hardware are also included in this category.
