Custom manufactured - only in our Arvada warehouse - according to the highest standards of quality, the patented Hi-Tech® Shade was created in 1992 by DSC’s Founder and then President, Richard W. Robertson. It emphasizes the best in innovation, design, style, and technology and offers endless decorating possibilities with a number of styles and fabrics, including Customers Own Material (COM). Hi-Tech® can also be combined with pleated sheers to create a day/night shade. See Hi-Tech Vol VII (PDF) for information on our newest styles. Also, new as of fall 2006, see our fabulous cellular roman style: the Elite (PDF), America’s first Roman shades with curb appeal (cords and working parts are hidden from the street view).

Materials Used Create Precisely Sized Product
Hi-Tech® Fabric Shades use a bonding and fusing method with no stitching involved. They are manufactured using exclusive clear Thermo UV Resistant slats and brass grommets. The metal rails at top and bottom and stabilizing slats at each pleat assure precise shade width and length and a uniform look on the face.

Easy Installation – Not Like Installing a Soft Treatment
Because Hi-Tech® Shades are manufactured using hard window covering type steel and aluminum headrails with snap-in metal brackets, it’s easy to measure the window and to install the product. This technology allows for close tolerances and uniform light lines on inside mount.

Blackout Lining is Standard
Triple pass black out lining is standard on all Hi-Tech® styles. It provides excellent insulating properties and a high standard of light control. Light filtering lining can be substituted and unlined shades are also manufactured according to designer specs.

Wide Shades Manufactured in One Piece
Hi-Tech® Shades can be manufactured in one piece up to 190” wide due to extensive control options listed below including motorization systems (PDF) assembled in house. Hi-Tech® Shade size possibilities and functions are endless!
