We are sooo excited about introducing our new Snug Seal™ option for inside mount arch installations. Traditional Tableaux® faux wrought iron orders required the use of templates for all inside mounted windows and niches. Snug Seal™ eliminates this need with a bulb gasket that is pre-assembled around the Tableaux frame.
The Snug Seal™ gasket creates a uniform border around the piece and allows for dimensional variations up to ½”, thus eliminating light gaps.
Who wants to draw large, high arch templates and pay to send them in? While this option is still available, we think the time and money saved, even with the nominal cost of Snug Seal™, will make your ordering and installation experience with Tableaux® arches a breeze.
Click on the Snug Seal link here and learn more about this simply wonderful new offering from Faux Iron Solutions.

 Like the look of Tudor? You'll love what designer Kim McNelis of Blinds by Kim in Arlington, TX created with her client.
Using our versatile Toronto design and adapting the center cross-overs with a twist design, these windows look like the real wrought iron. The selection of New England Pewter for the iron finish color adds to the authentic look of Tudor design. Softened gothic arches, natural materials and high quality are characteristics of Tudor design elements.
 Wrought iron windows had a practical function to supported leaded glass windows as well as decorative craftsmanship. Tableaux®'s light weight give the look and feel of charming European cottages in today's contemporary homes

Hmm, that’s quite an assertion. However, I just returned from Orlando for the Budget Blinds upbeat annual convention that acknowledged the national gloom, but between the aisles, what I saw was beginnings of industry innovation and creativity. Here’s the positive signs of new growth I saw there:
1. Window treatment dealers looking for creative upgrades that give maximum impact for existing homeowners’ window treatments.
