Chicago, Illinois — October 1, 2018— North America Shades Corporation today introduced The Wondershades®, the newest addition to its line of innovative roman shades. The Wondershades® are created using fabric dressed plastic slats which are individually installed onto a cordless or motorized lift mechanism. Unlike traditional roman shades that are produced from a single piece of fabric and ordered to an exact width and length, the slats in each Wondershades® can be easily replaced for cleaning, changes in décor, or for use in a new window. The lack of exposed cords ensures each shade meets stringent child safety requirements. The Wondershades® is Certified Best for Kids by the Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA). Each fabric slat incorporates an innovative plastic core for rigidity and light control. This durable core limits heat transfer from the window to the room, providing the best insulation factor for any roman shade in the market today.
"We wanted to create a new roman shade that incorporated many of the features today’s consumers are looking for,” said Stefaan Joos, owner of North America Shade Corporation. "The Wondershades® does exactly that. It's destined to become one of the biggest innovations our industry has seen in generations.”
Each Wondershades® sets up in minutes. The headrail is installed onto a wall or ceiling using a proprietary click-in system. The fabric slats (called Slattables™) are then buttoned onto the cordless lift mechanism. The homeowner can easily take down each slat for cleaning or replacement. If a change in décor is desired, the consumer can simply replace the fabric slats without the need for a new headrail. Despite the value-added benefits, each Wondershades® is priced at approximately 10% less than the going market rate for a custom hobbled roman shade. By using state-of-the-art machinery and a streamlined production facility, North America Shades can produce each Wondershades® within 48 hours from receipt of order. Planning is in place for the Wondershades® to be carried by the industry’s largest wholesalers and retailers.
