Hi everyone, Michael Moore here again with the next edition of third Thursday live from the San Francisco Design Center. Today I am here at the show place building with Ed Minto, who is the founder of the Roman Shade Company. Ed is here to tell us today a little bit about what you do here, right? Indeed. Take it away. All right. So basically what we do is we work most of the interior designers, about 90% of our clients are interior designers, and they will call us in to have us measure, specify, recommend, design window products to fit their particular problems. So unlike some other window covering companies that try to go into specifically sell a product, we spend a lot of time working with the designer and or the client to determine what the problem is or trying to solve, and then recommend products that will solve those problems. Awesome. So once we determine what the problem is, what are your tools to solve them? So we have our fabric Roman Shade line, which we make in our workroom here in San Francisco. We have 16 styles of fabric Roman Shade. No idea. The Roman Shade styles. We also have all different types of drapery products. We have another workroom in the East Bay that makes drapery for us. We have all types of drapery hardware that coordinates with that drapery. We also sell roller shades. Occasionally we will get calls for shutters. We also sell grass week shades, occasionally from different companies. Everything that we do is custom. Everything is from scratch. There's no template. So we can do a much higher level of customization than other window coverings offered because we make everything ourselves. That's great. I understand also you're somewhat of an expert on motorization as well. That's right. So we have motorization available for everything that we sell. And did you want to? Yeah, I don't even have a little wall over here to take a look at. So we have a little simple display here of different types of motors. There's different power sources for motors. There's 110 volt power. There's low voltage, wired. And there's also rechargeable lithium ion motors. This one we left the power cord out so you can see what the power cord looks like. But this is a totally free standing product. There's no wired and it's radio based. So we have a radio transmitter to control the shade. And then this product just needs to be recharged about once a year. All of these systems, regardless of the power source, work with very different types of automation systems. So automation is very big right now. Most people are familiar with Amazon Alexa and all these other systems. These coordinate with those different systems by adding Wi-Fi hubs. We carry actually three different lines. We sell sawmphee, which is the largest motor producer in the world. And then they have another company called Rolli-Zachmita. And those motors are actually made by sawmphee. And then we also sell Lutron products occasionally. We've got calls for those. We are also sawmphee certified. We have been for 25 years, which means if every year we get re-certified by sawmphee and we get the latest trading on all of their current products to keep us up to date with everything. So you're right on the cutting edge of all this stuff that's going on with modernization as well. And we're going to count directly with sawmphee and Rolli-Zachmita so we can buy all that stuff directly. We basically carry the entire line that they sell. Nice. Unlies unlike a lot of other window-covering companies that do not. They only have a couple of motors because that's what that fabricator offers and they don't give you access to those other products. We carry it all. Nice. So guys, if you have windows that need to be covered and you're interested in Roman shades, draperies, roller shades, automation, motorization, add is your guy. So come down and see him at the Roman Shade Company. And what's the best way to get in touch with you? So our general email is info at the RomanShade Company dot com or you can call the showroom Monday through Friday. Peggy is here in the showroom Monday through Friday so you can always drop by to look at things here in the showroom first. We kind of recommend that if you're not familiar with the products before we work with the client either call us or drop by so we can explain to you in person. Perfect. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us today. Pleasure. And we will see you next month. Thanks for joining us.
