Frequently Asked Questions
Does the pleating hold its shape?
Yes, the folds are fixed to the frame rather than pressed in. Kept dry, the profile stays crisp for the life of the fixture.
What room does it suit?
Bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways with a little height. It is especially good in a room of hard surfaces that needs something soft overhead.
How does it compare to Garlic?
Same fluted language, different silhouette. Garlic has a rounder bulbed profile, Alder is the cleaner drum shape. Pick by which outline suits the room.
How high should it hang?
Around thirty inches above a dining table. In a bedroom or hallway, hang it high enough to clear head height comfortably with room to spare.
How do I clean the pleats?
Vacuum on the lowest setting with a soft brush, working down each fold. Do not wet the fabric.
