Rockland Brings U.S. Made, Soft Roc-lon® Blackout Lining to World Market

December 18, 2015

Baltimore, Maryland — Rockland Industries Inc., creators of Roc-lon drapery blackout linings has introduced ‘Luna’ and ‘Lily’, the softest blackout linings in its history according to Darren Fradin, Vice President, Sales & Marketing. “Our new products are so soft, the customer will not believe its 100 percent blackout,” Fradin remarks. Fradin says these two new collections are available and stocked in the following widths: 54 inch (137 cm.); 110 inches (280 cm.) and 116 inches (295 cm.) In addition, the products are available in FR and non-FR versions in 52 colors. “These new soft blackouts eliminate the need for woven dim-out which was used because it had a softer hand,” Fradin adds. The new soft Roc-lon is also available in PFP versions which can be dyed in any custom coloration or heat transferred in with any design in Rockland’s Bamberg, SC manufacturing facility. In addition to the soft Roc-lon, Rockland has added a wide-width Roc-Rol® roller shade program in 110 inch width with an updated color palette, 52 shades in all with multiple different basecloth options.  “The Roc-Rol products feature cloth on the front and back with a middle layer of blackout,” Fradin explains. “You can make your own ‘sandwich’ featuring custom designs on the room side and solid color on the outside or any fabric and color combination you desire” he says. These new products will be shown at Heimtextil 2016 for the first time. “Rockland was also selected to take part in MADE: in America, a program started in 2008 by a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness of the American manufacturing story,” says Fradin. “The Rockland window products will be featured in the renovated Carroll Mansion in Baltimore and will be open to the public,” Fradin points out.
