Open Weave Fabrics

These fabrics are made of a woven material with open holes throughout. These are higher priced fabrics and are typically suitable for commercial applications. Often, our customers order fascia systems (a metal  cover at the top that is attractive and covers the hardware) with these types of shades. We buy from several manufactures of these fabrics, including Pfiffer and Mermet.
