About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Zimman’s Puts Craftsmanship First with Custom Drapery in Lexington

Zimman’s strengthens the window-design landscape in Greater Boston with a focus on workroom precision, enduring materials, and reliable, local service.

-- Zimman’s strengthens the window-design landscape in Greater Boston with a focus on workroom precision, enduring materials, and reliable, local service. The company’s approach to custom drapery in Lexington emphasizes process and performance over promotion, delivering treatments that present clean lines, travel smoothly, and complement both historic architecture and contemporary renovations throughout the Massachusetts town.

Commissions typically begin with an in-home consultation structured to clarify goals around light control, privacy, acoustics, and style. Designers evaluate architectural conditions—including ceiling heights, trim profiles, radiator clearances, and the low-angle winter sun common to New England—before recommending tailored directions. Guidance encompasses more than fabric alone, extending to linings for blackout, thermal efficiency, or soft-filtering effects; pleat and header styles such as pinch, Euro, goblet, and ripplefold; and hardware scaled to the project’s weight and frequency of use. Each element is specified with longevity, safety, and maintainability in mind.

Zimman’s workroom translates design intent into finished results through a detail-driven workflow that prioritizes fit. Accurate measurements account for stack-back, return, projection, and mounting height so panels operate without drag and clear surrounding casings or radiators. Patterns are matched, hems are balanced, and weighted corners encourage graceful vertical falls. Hardware—decorative rods, architectural tracks, or motorized systems—is chosen to support both the drapery’s load and the intended control method, then installed to tight tolerances for level presentation and dependable travel.

Fabric curation reflects Lexington’s mix of historic residences and new construction. Natural fibers such as linen, cotton, and silk appear alongside performance blends engineered for lightfastness, durability, or simplified care. Interlining options increase body and insulation, while blackout linings serve bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms. For spaces with strong solar exposure, protective linings and thoughtful mounting strategies help mitigate fading and moderate heat gain, supporting comfort during humid summers and efficiency through cold winters.

Motorization and smart-home compatibility continue to expand across the North Shore and MetroWest. Zimman’s supports battery-powered and hardwired tracks, scene programming, and integration with leading control platforms. Attention to scale, stack, and bracket projection keeps motorized components discreet while delivering steady, quiet performance. Cordless operation and automation address child safety and accessibility objectives without compromising appearance.

Custom drapery in Lexington frequently involves specialty conditions. Bay and bow windows, dormers, and extra-tall rooms in renovated Colonials or contemporary additions receive solutions that protect sightlines and preserve architectural symmetry. Historic homes benefit from reversible approaches that respect original millwork while improving comfort and light control. Commercial and civic spaces—professional offices, boutique retail, and hospitality venues—receive materials rated for durability and flame spread, along with hardware designed for higher traffic.

Clarity around timelines and budgeting is built into each engagement. After design selections and final measurements, production schedules reflect fabric lead times, complexity, and any motorized components, typically spanning several weeks to a few months. Proposals itemize scope, materials, fabrication steps, and installation logistics so expectations remain aligned. Workmanship warranties and care guidance accompany completed projects, with service available for seasonal adjustments, maintenance, and future expansions.

Sustainability considerations factor into both material selection and fabrication methods. Options include certified textiles, recycled-content linings, responsibly sourced wood or metal hardware, and workroom techniques designed to extend product life. Energy-aware planning—such as pairing thermal linings with well-fitted returns and appropriate stack-back—can reduce drafts and improve insulation at the window, supporting efficiency goals without sacrificing style.

Education forms a consistent throughline in Zimman’s process. Homeowners and trade partners receive clear explanations of how pleat structures shape visual weight, how lining choices change drape and room darkening, and how mounting decisions influence perceived ceiling height and daylight preservation. Guidance also covers projection strategies for clearing deep casings or baseboard heaters, anchoring methods suited to plaster or modern drywall, and bracket spacing calibrated to fabric weight and span. This emphasis on shared knowledge helps ensure final installations reflect informed decisions rather than assumptions.

Layered solutions are coordinated for rooms that require flexibility across the day. Sheers can diffuse glare while protecting primary fabrics; side panels can frame views without obstructing glass; shades can add precision control behind decorative drapery. Hardware, stack calculations, and control methods are planned together so each layer operates independently without visual clutter.

Installation closes the loop on craftsmanship. Technicians verify wall conditions, align bracket placement with studs or appropriate anchors, and level hardware incrementally before hanging panels. Final steaming encourages fabrics to fall as intended, while operational checks confirm smooth travel and consistent hem clearances. The outcome is a window program that appears fully considered from every angle, performing reliably through daily use and seasonal change.

Zimman’s presence in Lexington, Massachusetts, reflects a long-standing commitment to regional architecture and service. Familiarity with the town’s historic districts, mid-century neighborhoods, and recent infill developments supports drapery solutions that feel at home in context. Collaboration with architects, builders, and interior designers integrates window decisions with casework, lighting, and HVAC pathways, minimizing conflicts and reinforcing a cohesive interior language.
