When looking to improve our homes and businesses in 2025, we are increasingly looking for smart solutions. Okay, this is mainly with tech improvements such as heating, alarms and home entertainment, ie. systems working wirelessly together, but it shows us we can solve one practical problem and also add functionality and aesthetic improvements with the same single solution. We are all about clever, innovative solutions in 2025, and you might not think this at first, but the lath fascia curtain system is a great example of that.
What is the lath fascia system?
A popular description of the lath fascia system is that it is a ‘clever’ interior design feature. But just like smart products such as your heating or your doorbell can operate normally, and be controlled remotely also, the lath fascia system has a core function and additional benefits too.
The lath fascia system contains a regular corded metal track fixed onto a board, to control your curtains, but this is concealed from view by a 5cm fascia. The timber lath protrudes from the wall like a mini pelmet and the fascia hides the curtain’s operating system, and hence the lath fascia system enables the curtain to work in a practical sense, but also delivers great aesthetic benefits.
What are the benefits of the lath fascia system?
When installing a lath fascia curtain system you will see both practical and visual benefits:
- The system allows the pleated curtain header to remain on show, ensuring you are still maximising the elegant appeal of the curtains
- Lath fascia systems work perfectly for all types of bay window, meaning you can maximise the natural light a bay window provides and make the bay window a focal point of the room
- The ‘conceal’ feature of the lath fascia can be utilised to improve the aesthetic appearance, so you can use the same fabric design as the curtain itself. Overall this makes the appearance of your curtain system neat, unfussy and stylish, and creates a visual impact when you walk into a room
- The pelmet system incorporated in the lath fascia solution is a contemporary way to present the curtain header, compared to alternative, more outdated styles
- The lath fascia system is sturdy and robust, meaning it can withstand many years of repeated use
- Bay windows are most commonly seen in period homes that have matching coving on walls and ceilings. The lath fascia system doesn’t cover these coving features and so fully maximises the style and grace of your period home.
