The online store provides a fast and streamlined way to configure and purchase custom ShimmerScreen up to 100 square feet, on circular or straight track, and in all three styles (Round, Faceted, and Ball-Bar). Circular track ShimmerScreen can work beautifully with light to create custom chandeliers, decorative lighting installations, and architectural lighting features. Straight track ShimmerScreen can be used as room dividers, partitions, decorative curtains, window coverings, backdrops, architectural screening, décor, or also combined with light to create a stunning display. Using ShimmerScreen in combination with light creates a shimmering and striking effect that results from light interacting with the high-quality metal ball chain.
The online shop is great for anyone looking to add ShimmerScreen to their space, including architects, interior designers, hospitality professionals, business owners, contractors, and DIYers. It is particularly useful for DIYers who are looking to add an extra special feature to their home or office. The store is perfect for business owners who want to add an eye-catching element to their retail store, restaurant, bar, nightclub, spa, salon, or hotel.
Whether a project is small or large, straightforward or highly customized, customers can continue to work directly with the ShimmerScreen team for design guidance, samples, quotations, and project-specific support. The new online store simply provides an additional fast and convenient option for customers who prefer to configure, price, and purchase smaller ShimmerScreen installations online.
"We're excited to make ShimmerScreen easier than ever to specify and purchase," said Cath Taubner, EVP of Ball Chain Manufacturing Co., Inc. "For smaller projects, customers can now explore different options, see pricing immediately, and place an order whenever it's convenient for them. At the same time, our team is always here to help with projects of any size."
The launch represents another step in ShimmerScreen's continued expansion within the architecture, interior design, hospitality, commercial, and residential markets.
