JLA once again puts the fab into prefab with the sleek new Svelte Smooth drapery hardware line
In 2016, when we were looking at innovations for our drapery hardware lines, it occurred to us that there was a popular misconception that automation required utilitarian drapery tracks. We begged to differ and introduced a line of motorized tracks that put the fabulous into prefab.
Our new SVELTE line was a slimmer, more contemporary line of draperv hardware that greatly simplified the motorization process with built-in tracks that accommodated Somfy Glydea motors (and COM programs with Lutron and BTX Classic). Even better, SVELTE’s ready-to-order design meant shorter turnaround times and lower price-points than our custom hardware AND also became one of our more popular designer lines.
And now in 2023 … the new Svelte Smooth product debuts, adding the all-new smooth design to the mix, offering a clean, rounded profile available in 8 standard finishes.
“We have been so delighted that Svelte has seen such demand, and honestly the concept of made-to-order that looks so sleek and performs so well is a great addition to our custom hardware offerings,” said Lancaster & Associates President Philip Clemmons . “and as in-demand as the squared versions have been, we knew there was room for something more rounded. Smooth is all that and we’re already heavy into client orders.”
- SVELTE comes in three rod end styles: Mitered Elbow returns, End Cap Finial, Dado End.
- Custom Finishes Available (quoted on request)
- Available in up-to 30′ spliced or 15′ unspliced drapery rod widths
- Available as Cord Draw, Baton Draw or motorized with Somfy Glydea
- COM program accommodates dealer-specific tracks such as Lutron or BTX
- Pinch Pleat or Ripplefold
- Curves and bends are not available
The new Svelte Smooth product debuts as designers gravitate to more modern, minimalistic profiles, and certainly meets the growing demand for automated draperies with its modular mounts and tracks. Now a new curve has been thrown into the mix, and we’re certain it will meet your needs for design that performs effortlessly.
