Real Metal Beaded Curtains - Real Metal Beaded Curtains are used for Home, Commercial and Retail Applications. Because they are inherently Fire-Retardant, many Casinos and Special Event Venues Love Chain curtains to Create a high-end look of moving architecture. You may have even seen the chain curtains at your local Whole Foods Stores! Our Real metal Beaded Curtains are available in a variety of Beads and Finishes and are fully customizable. We have different types of Linking Chain as well as BallChain Curtains. You may order them in ready-made sizes from the website or contact us to make any custom size you'd like to fit your space.Here's a video showing samples of our Custom Made Metal Chain and Acrylic Beaded Curtains.

Bamboo and Wood Beaded Curtains - Wooden Beaded Curtains are most popular for home use. Generally these curtains are 3 feet wide and between 6-7 feet long. You can see through them, so they are probably not always the best choice for adding privacy unless you choose one of our Wood Curtains that has a lot of strands. We usually see these curtains used in doorways, but they are just as awesome when hung from the ceiling and used as a room divider. You can hang them right next to each other to cover wider spaces. We have filmed a few videos to help you understand how the Wooden Beaded Curtains might look in your home. See the video here.

Acrylic Beaded Curtains - Our largest category of Beaded Curtains is by far our selection of Acrylic Curtains. Our beads are the clearest, crispest, most fabulous that you will find. PERIOD. They are available in many dozens of bead styles and in lengths from 6 Feet Long to 24 Feet Long. They are used to create gigantic scenes for our Event Planners, Television and Movie Studios and more. Wedding designers use them in zillions of ways from Wedding Arch and Mandap Design to overhead Chandelier creation to Head Table Backdrop design. You can even hang Acrylic Curtains from the ceiling to create a Rectangular "Box" by using 4 of them. At home, Acrylic Curtains are used in windows, doorways, behind beds as a sort of headboard, strung on top of shower doors, and more. One sweet feature of Acrylic Curtains is that you can CUT the strands shorter if you want using scissors. The beads will not all fall off on the floor because our beads are "molded on thread". We can Customize the Acrylic Curtains for you right here in our Arizona Fabrication studios to make them longer, double or triple the Bead strand count, mix bead types into one curtain, add a metal flexible head rail, or put them on a fabric top for you.

PVC Beaded Curtains - PVC is a material that"s like a thick but bendable plastic that is dye-cut into shapes. The shapes are then attached to one another using silver jump rings. What"s fabulous about PVC is that the "beads" can be really big without adding a ton of weight to the curtain. You can also add or take away length very easy using the jump rings. We have colors and PVC bead styles suited to subtle tastes to Hot Pink and green to suit the Wild at Heart. We have a very large selection of PVC Curtains and Chandeliers available. We"ve had a ton of famous designers work with us to create very special installations with our PVC beaded curtains where they"ve made ENORMOUS designs that just would not be possible if not for the light weight of these beads. Watch PVC magic in action!

Painted Bamboo Beaded Curtains - The Plain Bamboo and Painted Bamboo Beaded Curtains have thousands of tubes of bamboo strung onto either wire or fiber line. This is a popular choice for home use in doorways. We also have a lot of customers who love Bamboo Curtains to hide the contents of a closet or pantry where the doors have been removed. Because of the high strand count, these will obscure what is behind them, although they will not offer 100% coverage. As an example, we would not recommend using this as a dressing room dooreyou might be giving more of a show than you want. We filmed a helpful video to show what kind of coverage you"ll get with a Bamboo Plain or Bamboo Painted Beaded Curtain that you can watch if you have a minute. Watch this video to decide if a Bamboo Painted Curtain is right for you!

Flexible Top Beaded Curtains - Our Flexible Top Beaded Curtains are most often used for applications where a curved wall comes into play. We have ready-made Flexible Top beaded curtains that are on metal tops. They can be added directly to a wall, fixed into your existing track system, or added to trusses. We make Beaded Curtains on Flexible Tops, so you can choose your own beads, specify your sizes, and we"ll make whatever you need! We can even make a FABRIC Top beaded Curtain for you. Need grommets? We do that, too. Fabric Top curtains can have Velcro added to them if you wish. Check out these spectacular Flexible Top Beaded Curtain Installations HERE.

Beaded Curtains with Jump Rings - ALL of our PVC Curtains come with Jump Rings and several of our fancier Acrylic Curtains do, too. The beauty of Jump Rings, as described above in the PVC information is that those jump rings allow you to add or subtract

1. While the curtains are in still hanging in place, use twist ties to bundle the strands together like a long pony tail.
2. Starting at the header bar,  take 10 or 12 strands in hand and wrap a twist tie (or other  banding material like twill ties, ribbon, etc) around the strands to create the pony tail.  Wrap the pony tail with a twist tie every 3 feet along its length from top to bottom. 
3. Now lay the header bar into the box.  Place the "pony tails" in the box by working them back and forth across the width of the box.
4. Make sure that the ties are visible and not bound too tightly.  You want to be sure it is easy to remove the ties and reuse the panels without accidentally cutting the strands.
5. If using twill ties or ribbon, it is best to tie a bow for closure and not a hard knot.
