FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


BEDSPREADS

Q. How much fill is in each bedspread?
A. The base weight of our bedspreads is 5 ounces per square yard of branded fiberfill. Additional ounces can be added up to 14 ounces per square yard.

Q. What is the standard quilt pattern?
A. We use a double diamond quilt pattern because most of our bedspreads are produced from 126" wide fabrics where the design has been railroaded. The diamond layout is one of the few patterns that can be turned 90 degrees and is still a diamond. In addition, we can quilt almost any design with our computerized quilting machines with a 50 piece minimum (some fancier designs can incur additional cost).

Q. What kind of bedspread backing is used?
A. We use a high count poly/cotton backing that has been pre-shrunk and heat set. This assures that when you use Trevira on the face that the bedspread will have very minimal shrinkage and will not pucker.

Q. What is the difference between a Throw Style Bedspread, a Cap Fitted Bedspread and a Waterfall Fitted Bedspread?
A. A Throw Style bedspread has rounded corners, a Cap Fitted bedspread is sewn down at the bottom corners of the bedspread and a Waterfall Fitted bedspread is sewn underneath and the fabric flows over the bottom of the bed. If you go to our Nouveau Collection Room Settings, there is an example of each style. Pattern EDEN shows a Throw Style bedspread. Pattern KILLEM shows a Cap Fitted bedspread. Pattern CHAMBORD shows a Waterfall Fitted bedspread.

Q. What is the difference between a Bedspread and a Coverlet?
A. A Bedspread has a drop that goes all the way down to the floor. A Coverlet has a drop that only covers the mattress. If you use a Coverlet, you will also need to use a Dust Ruffle.

Q. What is a Kick Pleated Dust Ruffle? What is a Shirred Dust Ruffle?
A. A Kick Pleated Dust Ruffle is flat on all three sides with pleats in the corners. A Shirred Dust Ruffle is gathered on all three sides. If you go to our Nouveau Collection Room Settings, there is an example of each style. Pattern Grotto Texture has been made into a Kick Pleated Dust Ruffle and pattern Inca Texture has been made into a Shirred Dust Ruffle.

DRAPERIES

Q. What is a PAIR of curtains? What is a PANEL of draperies?
A. A PAIR of curtains has an opening in the middle. A PANEL of draperies opens from one side to the other (left to right to left).

Q. What is the difference between a SUPERFINE ROD and an ARCHITRAC ROD?
A. The SUPERFINE ROD is a string draw rod that telescopes to fit within a range of sizes. An ARCHITRAC ROD is a baton draw rod that is cut to measure for that specific window.

Q. When do I use Stiffeners and Grommets?
A. When you use an Architrac Rod, we need to sew a plastic stiffener with a brass grommet in the corner of the drapery (one on a panel, two on a pair) so that the baton can be attached directly to the Master Carrier. Click here to go directly to our Curtain Specification pages for more details.

Q. What do I measure when I am ready to order curtains?
A. If you already have an existing window treatment, measure the size of the rod (from left to right) and measure the curtain from top to bottom. Specify that you are supplying a rod width and a finished length. If there is no window treatment, call for details or contact a professional installer. If you are measuring the job yourself, be sure to measure EVERY ROOM. Especially in older properties, the building does settle over time and the window treatments may vary in size.

Q. Are all curtains Flame Retardant?
A. Not all curtains are flame retardant. Please specify when ordering whether flame retardancy is required and be sure your price quote reflects this difference.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FABRICS

Q. Why should bedspreads be produced from 126" wide fabrics?
A. Since all the designs we print on 126" wide fabrics are railroaded, the bedspreads (no matter the size) are 100% seamless.

Q. What are railroaded designs?
A. Designs that have been railroaded run length for width. That means that the top and bottom of each design run from one end of the fabric selvage to the other. The width of the fabric becomes the length of the bedspread.

Q. AVORA® vs. Trevira®
A. Since the 1980's, the Hoescht/Celanese Company has been producing Trevira® fabrics for the hospitality market. In 1998, they sold their interest to KOSA, but retained the name Trevira®. KOSA renamed the same product to AVORA®. The fabrics are still woven by the same mills and the designs are still printed at our facility in Miami.

Q. Are all AVORA® fabrics Inherently Flame Retardant?
A. The simple answer is No. However, most specifications today only refer to base polyester fabrics as Trevira® (AVORA®). They are not specific in stating whether the fabric is F.R. or not. Almost everywhere in the United States requires curtains to be flame retardant and bedspreads to be non-F.R.
