ADR metalsmiths are masters in producing everything from single and double twist rods, to a wide range of brackets, rings, plates, hinges and other drapery hardware accessories that are strong and beautifully crafted and finished.
Stone Shop

Paint Shop
The ADR Paint Shop is where our drapery hardware comes to life. Ours is a deliberate process where experts carefully organize and prep pieces for painting, then prime, paint and often coat them to achieve the rich look on which ADR has built its reputation. This is a critical step and it is no time to rush. Each application is carefully cured to ensure a uniform appearance.
