What Is A Parafold Roman Shade: A Parafold Roman Shade has fullness added to the length through soft horizontal pleats which remain in place when down.  As with a Flat Roman Shade, you have the ability to control light, heat and privacy, but you have the added softness of gently horizontal pleats.

In addition to parafold roman shade instructions, we also offer: box pleat valances patterns, box pleat balloon valance patterns, pinch pleat drapery patterns, rod pocket drapery patterns, box pleat balloon shade patterns, roman shade patterns, and scarf swag patterns.
