Swatch : Pleated : Knife White

Lamp shades in knife pleat linen material will arrive without trim.

The inside of this shade is a white styrene (plastic) material.

Lamp shades with knife pleat will have vertical pleats from the top to the bottom of the shade.

Limitations: The nature of this material does not allow for the bottom dimension of the shade to exceed a value greater than 3 times the top dimension.  For example, a lampshade measuring 8" at the top and 24" at the bottom would be allowed, but the same shade with a 25" bottom will not work.  This is because the 25" bottom is more than 3 times the top measurement of 8".

Max Height Limitation: The maximum height for a shade with this material is 12".

How to measure knife pleat shades: Knife pleat material is an accordion-style pleat with each pleat measuring approximately 1/2".  When measuring any lampshade, the dimensions of the shade always reflects the dimension of the METAL RINGS used to make the shade.  In the case of knife pleat lampshades, there is about a 1-inch difference between the outside measurement of the RING and the outside measurement of the knife pleat material.  For example, when you order a lampshade with a 5" top diameter, the TOP RING of your shade will measure 5", but once the knife pleat is applied, the shade will have about a 6" diameter, if you include the knife pleat material in your measurement.  Remember, when measuring, refer to the size of the rings, without taking the material into account.
