Durability
SoftView Venetian Shades are manufactured with the polyester material coated with a PVC compound. The cloth is in effect protected from the environment. Although SoftView feels soft like fabric, it wears like iron! Stiffening rods are inserted into the pockets on both edges, front & back, to create the rigidity required to span the ladders yet create incredible elasticity.....toughness built right in. Ideal for kids rooms, high traffic areas of the home.
As difficult it is to hurt SoftView, its unique construction allows for a damaged slat to be easily replaced or even shuffled within the shade to hide its damage.
A car drove right through the front showroom window of the inventor's building in Australia. Thank goodness no one was hurt. However, the showroom was destroyed. The SoftView hanging on that window was so light & durable, it bounced up and out of the way. When the car was pulled out of the showroom by the wrecker, the SoftView fell back into place and still continues to be in use today! Now that's Tough!
SoftView has been on available on the world market for over 10 years. It has been sold throughout North America since Spring 2000. Today, thousands of homeowners enjoy the stunning beauty of light emanating through their SoftView
Cleanability
Easy to clean, SoftView can be lightly vacuumed. If required, SoftView Shades can be immersed into a warm water and mild detergent solution. Each individual slat can be removed from the shade for individual cleaning. Or the entire shade can be immersed into a cleaning solution if needed. For a more thorough cleaning, SoftView Shades can be ultrasonically cleaned using mild cleansing solutions.
Right from the factory, Tri-Guard protects against most stains, static buildup, and mildew.
Care and Maintenance
Tri-guard, an anti-static, staining, and mildew protectant, resists dust and dirt accumulation. Occasional dusting with a feather duster should be all the maintenance required. If deeper cleaning is needed, the shade can be lightly vacuumed with a brush attachment or cleaned with a damp cloth. Each individual slat can be immersed in a warm water and mild detergent solution if needed. A rinse with clean water should follow.

UPS or FedEx Ground Shipping:
This applies to all orders under 94 inches in width or length shipping to an address in the contiguous 48 states of the U.S. If it travels by UPS or FedEx then shipping is FREE! Please call us for shipping quotes outside the covered area.
Oversize Products Shipping Fee:
If your package is 94 inches or over in width or length it will be shipped by common carrier (semi truck) from the nearest manufacturing facility to you. There will be a 90 dollar oversize shipping charge for any order with products that are 94 inches or more in width or length. This charge is per manufacturer. Meaning if you order two oversized products and they are from two different manufacturers (two different brands) there will be TWO charges for a total of 180 dollars in shipping. But, if you have more than one product over 94 inches that is from the same manufacturer you will only pay one oversize fee. The fee is per order, not per blind.
