About Us The Design Shoji Difference

How-to-Order

Celebrating 20 years 2002 marks the 20th anniversary of our company. "Thank you" to all our friends and customers over the years who have helped us achieve this milestone. Thank you for allowing us to do our best work every day and for giving us new puzzles to solve. Our continuing promise to you is to keep creating "Screens for the finest interiors..." that we hope you will enjoy for years to come. Look for us on TV Home 'n Garden TV has a special entitled "Asian Influences" that features some homes our shoji "live" in. You can also see them on the PBS special series "Pirates of Silicon Valley". Shoji Inserts-- A partial listing of some of the more unusual inserts we offer... Laminated Glass Glass doesn't have to be boring! Check out our laminated glass with rice papers for an old world look combined with the practicality of safety laminated glass. At last you can enjoy the beauty of hand-made rice papers without the risk of tearing, damage, or staining. Sandwiched between 2 layers of glass, the details of these beautiful papers are carefully protected creating an exquisite, maintenance- free shoji. Sheer Inserts Most of our shoji inserts are translucent - they allow light through, but you can't see through them. But when privacy is not an issue and you prefer to see the view outside, consider one of our sheer inserts. Handwoven grasses and reeds offer a more traditional look and feel; or go contemporary with the latest recycled fiber fabrics. Clear rigid lenses are also available with random filaments throughout for a more commercial look and feel.

Hard to treat window? Let us show you how Specialty windows are a perfect application for shoji panels. The unique architectural lines of these windows can be gracefully highlighted with shoji panels. Arch Top: Window Treatment Services Pictured are arch top panels which hinge open to allow for window cleaning and/or the outside view. Panels can be inside mount, as shown, to accentuate the window casing, or outside mount if one wishes to cover the window trim. An added bonus is that the shoji are equally attractive from the outside of the home; preserving the architectural detail of the unique window shape, without sacrificing privacy or light control.

Whatever the specialty window shape - eyebrow arch, rake window, round window, octagonal or custom, consider shoji panels. Customers ask: "How can an interior designer or architect help me?" Trade professionals are more familiar with specifying custom doors. They can advise you on the best solutions for your particular application; we have over 30 inserts, 11 wood finishes and 3 pages of grid designs. Not all are interchangeable, or often times custom materials must be used to make you the perfect shoji. In addition special frame details and construction upgrades may be necessary to make your panels work they way you need them to. Professional designers must balance function, value, code requirements, sustainability and safety as well as aesthetics and proportion when specifying your doors. Practical considerations such as privacy, acoustic properties, light control and appropriateness of materials must also be addressed. Specifiers are familiar with looking at custom doors "from the ground up" and can save you time and money when specifying your panels through their experience on what works, what looks good and what materials are the most durable and trouble-free for your application. They are also not afraid to ask us "can you do this?" Very little of what we make is straight out of the catalog -- a design professional can help you with all the details that make the difference - that change an installation from plain vanilla to uniquely yours. We're constantly surprised by the resourcefulness and creativity of those we work with; good design is truly an art and the results are a joy to live with! Specifiers who've used us before also give you added assurance of the quality and durability of the shoji we build. The majority of our work is for repeat customers; be sure to check out our client testimonials! If you know what you'd like and are comfortable making decisions and handling your own measurement/installation, you can order as an owner-builder. However please note we are very detail oriented, and will ask you a myriad of questions during the specification and measurement process. We will also advise you if what you are trying to do might be better accomplished a different way. We want you to be happy living with the finished product, not frustrated by something that doesn't look right or slide smoothly due to inadequate design.
