Hartmann & Forbes provides two weaving methods to meet varying design, lead time, and cost needs: Woven-to-Size and Tailored-to-Size, both guaranteeing unparalleled quality.
WOVEN-TO-SIZE, a true made-to-order process, involves weaving to window dimensions within a 1/2" tolerance, featuring a meticulous loom-finished edge. Though requiring more lead time, it delivers seamless widths and exquisite detail.
TAILORED-TO-SIZE, a convenient pre-woven approach, uses inventoried roll goods, precisely trimmed and tailored to size. This method offers a shorter lead time and lower price point but may have size limitations. Both approaches reflect Conrad's commitment to unique workmanship and quality in today's marketplace, positioning them as a somewhat more affordable yet equally prestigious alternative.
