Drapery Baton Styles

 

Adapter Baton

This type of baton hangs in front of the drapery offering easy access to a guest in the room. Its construction utilizes a plastic stiffener and a connection with both the drapery and the master carrier, resulting in a reinforced draw.


 

Clip Baton

This baton uses a small clip which attaches directly to the master carrier hanging behind the drape and therefore is often referred to as a hidden baton. Clip batons are not recommended for use with large treatments as they are not as stable as batons with adapters.


 

Cord Drawn

Used as an alternative to batons when using tall and wide treatments. It is recommended that all operable treatments wider than 15’ and taller than 12’ utilize assistance to operate. Cord drawn hardware utilizes a unique pulley system allowing for treatments to be drawn via pull cords. This is not an ADA compliant option.


 

Motorized

Available in two different options: plug and play, or direct wired. Motorized drapery is more expensive, yet is a great alternative for large treatments or ADA compliance, and works in conjunction with building automation systems.
