A True Partnership Approach

At OrangePiel, we view every trade relationship as a partnership built on mutual success. When your projects succeed, we succeed. This philosophy shapes everything from how we structure our trade pricing to how we support your team through complex installations.

Our dedicated trade account managers take time to understand your firm, your typical project types, and your workflow preferences. This relationship-first approach means that when you have an urgent deadline or a challenging specification requirement, you have a knowledgeable advocate inside our organization who can expedite solutions.

Many of our longest-standing trade partners have worked with us across dozens of projects over the years. These relationships allow us to anticipate needs, streamline reorders, and maintain consistency across a firm's entire portfolio of work. We retain detailed records of past specifications, making it easy to match previous projects or specify proven solutions for new ones.

Comprehensive Technical Documentation

Specifying custom printed products requires detailed technical information. Our resource library includes CAD blocks in DWG format compatible with AutoCAD 2020 and later, as well as Revit families for BIM workflows. These files accurately represent our products' dimensions, mounting clearances, and operation characteristics.

Product specifications follow CSI MasterFormat standards, making them ready for direct inclusion in your construction documents. Each specification sheet includes material composition, fire ratings, cleaning instructions, and warranty information. We regularly update these documents to reflect the latest certifications and testing data.

For sustainability-focused projects, we provide Environmental Product Declarations, GREENGUARD certifications, and documentation supporting LEED credits. Our materials meet indoor air quality standards for sensitive environments including schools and healthcare facilities.

From Specification to Installation

Our project workflow is designed to integrate seamlessly with your design and construction schedule. During the design phase, our team can provide preliminary budgeting based on project scope, helping you establish realistic allowances for your clients.

Once specifications are finalized, we conduct detailed field measurements or work from your architectural drawings to ensure accurate sizing. For projects with custom imagery, our prepress team prepares files to exact specifications, providing proofs for your approval before production begins.

Manufacturing takes place in our controlled production environment, where every product undergoes quality inspection before shipping. We coordinate delivery timing with your installation schedule, and our products arrive ready to install with clear labeling that matches your project documentation.

For complex installations, we can provide on-site technical support or connect you with certified installers in your region. Our team remains available throughout the installation process to address any questions or resolve issues that arise.

Material Samples and Color Proofs

Nothing replaces touching and seeing materials in person. Our trade sample program provides physical material swatches, printed color samples, and custom proof strips at no charge for qualified projects. Sample kits include our full range of shade fabrics, acoustical panel materials, and wallcovering substrates.

For projects requiring precise color matching, we offer printed color proofs on your specified material. These proofs are produced on the same equipment and substrates as the final products, ensuring accurate color representation. Proofs can be shipped to your studio or directly to your client for approval.

We also provide visualization mockups that show how custom printed products will appear in your specific environment. Using photographs of the installation space, our design team can create realistic renderings that help clients understand scale, color, and overall impact before committing to production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide CAD, BIM, and CSI specifications?

Yes. Our trade downloads library includes DWG, DXF, IFC, and PDF files for every standard product family, plus three-part CSI specifications covering Division 12 (window treatments) and Division 09 (acoustic treatment). Files are updated on each material change.

How does the OrangePiel trade program work?

Architects, interior designers, and specifiers get trade pricing, priority access to samples, and direct support from the product team. There is no membership fee — submit a brief trade application and we confirm your account within one business day.

Can you match a brand color system or Pantone reference?

Yes. We print from RGB or CMYK artwork and provide a color proof before production. For critical brand work we can match Pantone references within the gamut of dye-sublimation on our substrates. Any out-of-gamut color is flagged before ordering.

What fire and acoustic test reports do you provide?

Class A (ASTM E84) fire test reports for all fabric and core options, and NRC test reports for the acoustic panel line. Reports are issued by accredited third-party labs and are available for attachment to your submittal package.

Do you offer material samples and color proofs?

Yes. Trade accounts receive a complimentary material sample kit covering every fabric and panel core option. Printed color proofs of your artwork are produced on the actual substrate before production — so what you approve is what you receive.

What clients say.

When you're shooting a home that'll be seen by millions, you don't want to compromise on the details. The custom shades were one of the first things viewers mentioned — they read beautifully on camera and in person.
