Swags

swags

Swags or cascades add graceful curves and soft texture to more formal window styles. These can be perfect for framing a lovely view or interesting focal point in your room.

Calico offers these options:

Asymmetrical
Classic
Monaco Pole
Pleated Bustle

Asymetrical

The number of swags depends upon window size.
A pair of asymmetrical swags is often used to accentuate a fireplace or other focus point.
Asymmetrical Swags are board mounted.
Add at least 4″ to face width and 2″ to returns of any under-treatment, e.g. sheers, for proper clearance.
Silk fabrics should always be interlined.
Cascades or swags lined in a print or contrasting darker fabric should always be interlined to prevent show-through of the lining.

Classic

The number of swags depends upon window size.
Classic swags are board mounted.
Add at least 4″ to face width and 2″ to returns of any under-treatment, e.g. sheers, for proper clearance.
Silk fabrics should always be interlined.
Cascades or swags lined in a print or contrasting darker fabric should always be interlined to prevent show-through of the lining.
With added pelmets, swags and cascades are an excellent choice for bay windows.

Monaco Pole

Monaco Pole Swags are best bias cut. Striped and plaid fabrics will have diagonal lines; cascade and drapery side panels run up the roll.
A pair of Monaco swags is often used to accentuate a fireplace or other focal point.
Treatment does not return to the wall; there will be slight gap between drapery and wall allowing light to enter the room from the sides.
Add at least 4″ to face width and 2″ to returns of any under-treatment, e.g. sheers, for proper clearance.
Silk fabrics should always be interlined. Additional under-treatment recommended for sun protection with silk fabrics.
Maximum bracket to bracket size is 60″ for this treatment.
Mount high enough so molding and glass are not visible.

Pleated Bustle

Pleated Bustle swags may be used over any pleated or flat panel drapery mounted on rings; pinch pleated draperies are included in price shown.
Stationary treatment mounted on rings.
Silk fabrics should always be interlined.
Sheer fabrics are not recommended.
If bustle swag is bias cut, stripes will be at an angle.
Mount high enough so molding and glass are not visible behind tabs.
