Swags & Tails are the ultimate style indulgence. The graceful drape and gather of Swags & Tails creates the ultimate opulent look, giving your whole room an ambiance of prestige and elegance.

Swags & Tails frame windows and enhance the windows visual proportions. They have the added benefit of reducing the light coming in and concealing the Curtain & Blind headings & hardware underneath.

Swags & Tails also help further insulate your windows by adding a barrier at the top to prevent air flow, stopping the warm air which has risen to the top of the room from going over and transferring through the window.

Our highly regarded decorator division custom make a wide range of Swags & Tails shapes and sizes in our extensive and exclusive range of fabrics.

Cascades or Jabots can be added when utilizing a Swag & Tail on a bay or corner window and Swags & Tails can be combined with a Pelmet to create an even more elegant and opulent look.

This is the ideal product to add trims too and the options are limitless. Choose Piping, Banding, Flange Cord, Fringes, Beads, Tassels or line the fabric in a contrast fabric.

Our Automated window coverings add more to a home than just convenience, they facilitate advanced control of your indoor climate – be it natural heat or natural light. Regardless of how sophisticated your window glazing, or tint may be, they’re rarely a match for mother nature’s dynamic tendencies.

Although it may be second nature to reach for the thermostat + reverse undesired temperature spikes, it can prove to be detrimental to yearly energy expenses, as well negatively contributing to current global climate health. Similarly, switching the lights on in your home is traditionally more convenient than manually raising blinds or opening drapes. Unfortunately, this too has a negative impact on your home, your wallet + our planet.

Traditional methods of light + heat control remain necessary for home comfort, however we’re on a mission to help reduce the impact of these traditional methods. Our Automate window covering systems add a new dimension of control + convenience that can help you break out of conventional + costly habits.

Research has found that uncovered windows are responsible for up to a 40% loss of heating energy, while conversely also contributing up to 87% of a home’s heat gain,1 depending on external weather conditions.

Rotary Donations In Kind is a major recycling operation run by volunteers that supplies free products to people in need. Their projects provide solutions in delivering the most practical and cost effective way to help people in developing countries and also to provide excellent opportunities to help local communities.

Working closely with the Rotary Donations In Kind program, we have made many fabric donations, which have been distributed to people in need, including to East Timor and North Cambodia. The fabrics are made into very practical items including clothing, rice carry bags and sanitary products, of which remain in high demand in many countries and can significantly change the lives of many people.

A comprehensive program was featured in Siem Reap in North Cambodia through Rotary International, Opportunities of Development thru Art (ODA) and Days For Girls. Days For Girls is an organization that focuses on mobilising girls and women through changing the status quo with quality care solutions, health education and income-generation opportunities.

The colourful and informative Days For Girls kits are distributed to students and include long lasting, easy- to-care health and hygiene items. In conjunction with these kits, an educational session on health and safety is delivered that includes topics such as self-defence. The assistance and knowledge accompanying this program is priceless and will stay with the students all their lives.
