For over a hundred years, traditional French Pinoleum has been used as a conservatory shading material. It is woven using narrow strips of carefully prepared wood, all timber being procured from sustainable sources. As a natural product, Pinoleum has excellent shading proportions whilst allowing a delicately filtered light through the weave. Individual styling can be further achieved with the use of matching or complementary braids.

Here, manually operated Pinoleum roof and side blinds are seen in Old Hardwick weave.
