Fast Track Solutions for Commercial Drapery

Let's face it – in commercial architecture, time is more than just money. It's reputation, client satisfaction, and project viability all rolled into one ticking clock. We've seen it time and again: stunning architectural visions held hostage by drapery lead times that seem to stretch into eternity.

That's why we've developed our Fast Track service – because we believe your design brilliance deserves to be realised on your timeline, not ours.

The Window-Drapery Partnership: Elevating Commercial Spaces

Here's something we're particularly excited about: when masterfully designed window systems meet exceptional drapery, magic happens in commercial spaces. Those dramatic curtain walls and floor-to-ceiling windows aren't just architectural statements—they're opportunities for drapery to transform how natural light dances through your space throughout the day. Our bestselling drapery collections are sitting in our warehouse right now, ready to complement your most ambitious window designs and enhance that all-important connection to the natural world.

While traditional lead times have architects and designers tapping their watches, our Fast Track service lets you skip the queue entirely. Because when inspiration strikes for that perfect atrium or that statement façade, your drapery solution should be ready when you are.

The "Ready When You Are" Advantage

And the best part? These aren't ‘compromise’ solutions – they're our most sought-after collections that designers return to again and again for their perfect blend of aesthetics and performance. These collections were created with today's bold commercial window designs in mind—whether you're working with a geometric curtain wall that redefines a skyline or a series of precisely positioned windows that creates signature light patterns across interior spaces.

Curated Collections That Don't Compromise

Our Fast Track collection represents years of listening to what architects and designers actually need. We've carefully curated fabrics that strike that perfect balance of visual impact and technical performance. These aren't just pretty faces – they're hardworking textiles that have earned their bestseller status by performing beautifully in commercial environments where durability isn't optional.

Let's talk about the colour availability. These aren't colours and designs we dreamed up in isolation. We've meticulously analysed the most-specified characteristics in contract drapery fabrics over the past decade! The colours and designs in our FR-One Fast Track fabrics emerge from a well-researched and frequently updated position of experience and insight.

The Technical Excellence Behind the Speed

Here's something we're particularly proud of: like all of our fabrics, every fabric in our Fast Track service has undergone rigorous performance testing that exceeds industry standards.

Many boast impressive flame retardancy ratings, exceptional light fastness, and acoustic properties that can transform a noisy atrium into a conversational haven. That's technical speak for "these fabrics don't just look good – they actively contribute to the building's performance." This matters especially in large-scale projects where the interplay between windows and drapery isn't just decorative but functional architecture.

In fact, our drapery solutions work in perfect harmony with today's energy-efficient window systems. While those triple-glazed, low-E commercial windows are working to reduce energy consumption by up to 40%, our drapery adds another layer of environmental performance. It's sustainability in layers—your windows make a statement about environmental values, and our drapery reinforces that commitment.

Sustainability Meets Efficiency

We love to talk about this one: our Fast Track service reduces the carbon footprint associated with drapery installation. By maintaining carefully managed inventory of our bestselling collections, we eliminate the need for rush manufacturing and expedited shipping that custom-to-order processes often require. It's just one way we're working to help designers make commercial architecture more sustainable – delivering excellence without unnecessary environmental impact.

Every component in our Fast Track fabrics collection proudly complies with the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, a globally recognised quality label that ensures fabrics are free from harmful substances. In fact, we're thrilled to share that all our inherently fire-retardant fabrics qualify under this prestigious standard – giving you complete peace of mind about the safety and quality of every fabric we offer.
