While we at Faux Iron do not expect a Thank You for our work (other than a normal passing courtesy) , I have to tell you we were all blown away when this card arrived from Linda in the mail.  Big smiles all around here!  But wait, there’s more….after I called Linda to tell her the impact her card had on us all, guess what I received today?  Yup, a postcard Thanking Me for Thanking Her!  I guess you can’t have too many smiles and warm feelings these days!!  I found out you too can send out cards by going to www.sendoutcards.com/ROIKO.

We were especially delighted to hear from Inner Design Studio in Brentwood, TN about how well Tableaux faux iron fit into their reception area for New Carolinas Medical Center in Lincoln, NC and want to share this photo with all of you.

We always happy to hear success stories from our customers about just on the mark Tableaux figures into their overall design. Imagine our delight when Allison Hughey, designer for Inner Design Studios in Brentwood, TN showed us her ‘baby pictures’ of their acclaimed Carolinas Medical Center in Lincoln, NC with Tableaux faux iron prominently displayed in the reception area.

Chatting with Allison revealed that the design firm was directed to create an upscale, Ritz Carlton hotel experience in the hospital reception area.  It needed to have a traditional feel as well as be comfortable and inviting for patients and visitors.

Naturally, cost concerns demanded the most “bang for the buck” which is why Allison and her team liked Tableaux. She could specify the exact design, finish color and size to fit the key display areas throughout the reception area without breaking the budget.

Many thanks to Inner Design Studios for sharing their work with us! You can learn more about this healthcare design firm at www.innerdesignstudio.com.

One of most popular FAQ’s has to do with measuring for a Tableaux® faux iron arch installation. Let’s take the mystery out of it to make your first arch installation easy from the very start.

First of all to get a quick estimate of how your project will cost, use your MSRP pricing grid and find the intersection of the width and height of the arch. Your retail price will be in that cell.

Now for dealers to receive a schematic drawing of the arch from us, you can make a template of the opening using sturdy brown paper, cut it out and mail it in to us or order the arch with SnugSeal.

SnugSeal is an alternative to making a template! Learn more about SnugSeal by referring to our website where we have the whole story with pictures about this labor-saving device. Basically, SnugSeal is a bulb gasket that is firmly attached to the outside edge of the Tableaux. We begin by noting your width, leg and peak heights actual arch measurements, then we take a 3/8” deduction all the way around. A Tableaux with SnugSeal application installs tightly within the opening, eliminating any light gap around the edges and filling in any irregularity in the opening itself.

So either way, your Tableaux arches are easy to order. We happily provide written instructions about either method to our dealers that request them.

The look and feel of wrought iron can be yours at a fraction of the weight and cost with Tableaux.

Niches are really popular architectural features these days. Turns out these focal point wall recesses are for the purpose of highlighting something ornamental such as a sculpture, mirror, painting or.…a Tableaux®.  Tableaux is often the perfect answer to fill large niches within the home for the same reasons why Tableaux faux wrought iron works everywhere else in the home.

You select the design that best reflects your own decorative taste from our library of designs and then we make the pieces in your preferred iron finish color to fit the size you need, whether it is an oblong, square, rectangle, arch or circle.

Remember, with Tableaux, you don’t need to know how to pronounce it to order it. We’re here to assist all our dealers to make sure you have the elegance of wrought iron just the way you want it.

Austin is the birthplace of Tableaux Faux Iron. The Tableaux brand was launched by two Austin, TX area entrepreneurs. They took the challenge to revolutionize the window treatment and interior design industry. They created a revolutionary custom design product that is made possible by the newest technologies and materials while incorporating hundreds of years of world wide design tradition.

Tableaux is the contemporary solution to decorative wrought iron design for windows, doors, cabinet inserts, ceilings, wall and dungeon décor. The weight of heavy iron is no longer a factor to fear when considering the look and feel of wrought iron design for your home castle.

Now with SnugSeal even small light gaps around the edges of your pieces are eliminated. This is very good news for home theater installations where total darkness is a requirement. You can learn more about our unique SnugSeal solution here on our site.

Now, back to ordering Tableaux – we simply sell our pieces by square footage. Height x width provides the square foot or area. Forget about those formulas you learned in geometry class! For us a circle's area is diameter x diameter. Multiply the area by your dealer's single or double sided pricing and that is just about all there is to specifying a piece of Tableaux. Your knowledgeable dealer can help you with special applications or unusual conditions.
