 |
 | ||
| RIVETED HANDLES |  | In cookware, this is the sturdiest application. Rivets are applied through the pan and permanently attached. |
| ||
| ||
| SASH RODS | | Sash rods are typically used on sidelights and doors. They are available with a swivel end for easy access to the window. |
| ||
| ||
| SATEEN WEAVE | | Woven with four stitches over, one stitch under. Because this weave places the most threads on the surface of the sheet, sateen fabrics are very soft and luxurious. |
| ||
| ||
| SCARF VALANCE | | The most versatile window treatment, scarf valances are generally sold in 6 yard (216") lengths, which is the most common size, or 8 yard (288") lengths, and can be hung using a sconce, swag holder or even a decorative rod. |
| ||
| ||
| SCONCES / SWAG HOLDERS | | Both sconces and swag holders can be used to hang scarf valances. They offer many decorative solutions, as they allow the scarf to be hung in countless numbers of ways. Sconces may also be used as rod holders. |
| ||
| ||
| SCREWED ON HANDLES | | Typically a plastic handle that is screwed to the outside portion of the cookware. This type of handle is less secure than a riveted handle, however, it provides for a smooth interior in the pan. |
| ||
| ||
| SCT | | A manufacturing process used exclusively by Henckel's cutlery. SCT utilizes the perfect alloy for each part of the knife, resulting in gourmet quality cutlery that will last a lifetime. |
| ||

| ||

| ||
| SHEERS | | Sheers are manufactured as panels, valances and scarves. They may be used alone or in combination with other treatments. Sheers are versatile enough to be used with either decorative hardware or simple curtain rods. |

| ||
| ||
| SINGLE LOAD CELL | | A feature found in mechanical digital scales, it is very accurate with the fewest moving parts. The reading is taken from a single cell. The LCD display has a longer battery life. Some models have an LED display, requiring periodic battery replacement. |
| ||
| ||
| SOLEPLATE | | The heat plate of an iron. The wider it is the better, as it will cover more area in a given press. Can be found in both stainless steel and non-stick surfaces. |
| ||
| ||
| SPRING TENSION | | Spring tension rods are available in oval and round. The round is typically used on doors with a rod at the top and bottom. The oval is used with panels to prevent drilling holes in the walls. |
| ||
| ||
| STAINLESS STEEL - COOKWARE | | In cookware, this is not a good heat conductor. Usually combined with a conductible metal, such as aluminum or copper, for effective cooking. |
| ||
| ||
| STAINLESS STEEL - FLATWARE | | One of the most common materials used to construct flatware. Stainless steel is an “alloy”, which is a combination of metals. Chromium and Nickel combined with steel create stainless. |
| ||

| STAMPED CUTLERY | | Machine-made knives using less craftsmanship than forged cutlery. Usually does not include a metal bolster, and may also be referred to as "cold pressed" cutlery. |
| ||
| ||
| STEAM DRIVEN | | An entry-level espresso machine. Water must first come to a boil before being forced through the grinds. Makes four shots of espresso at a time; then the machine must cool before additional cups are made. |

| ||
| ||
| SWEEP / STICKBROOM | | A light-duty vacuum cleaner, best for small areas such as stairs and small rooms. Commonly used for the kitchen floor and other quick pick-me-up areas. Also known as a "sweeper vac". |
| ||
| ||
| SYNTHETIC FIBERS | | Man-made fibers such as polyester, vellux, acrylic, etc. |
| ||
| ||
| TANG | | In cutlery, the part of the blade enclosed by the handle. A full tang will run the length of the handle, resulting in a comfortably balanced gourmet quality knife. |
| ||
| ||
| TERRY | | A towel with loops. The longer and more dense the loops, the thicker and more absorbent and more luxurious the towel. |
| ||
| ||
| THERMAL WEAVE | | Thermal blankets consist of loosely woven fabric that allows air to circulate and body heat to escape, providing less warmth. Often made of acrylic or cotton fibers. |
| ||
| ||
| THREAD COUNT | | The number of threads per square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the softer and more durable the fabric. Thread counts range mainly from 180 to over 300; luxury linens have 300 and higher. |
| ||
| ||
| THROW BLANKET | | Typically 50" x 60"; functional and decorative. Available in a wide variety of colors and textures for accenting a sofa or chair, or at the foot of a bed. |
| ||
| top | ||
| ||
| UPRIGHT VACUUM | | Best for fully carpeted surfaces, especially in larger areas. Uses a beater brush to pick up dirt; may have a hard or soft casing for bags. Sometimes available bagless and equipped with onboard attachments. |
| ||
| ||
| VELLUX | | A thick, soft synthetic for blankets. Nylon fibers bonded to foam insulate well but do not offer breathability. (Also called a hotel blanket). |
| ||
| ||
| VELOUR | | A towel in which the loops have been cut for a velvety but less absorbent surface. |
| ||
| ||
| VITRIFIED CERAMICS | | In dinnerware, vitrified means "glass-like". The more vitreous the ceramic, the harder, more translucent and non-porous it becomes. |
| ||
| ||
| WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER | | Water is boiled by a heating element, which kills bacteria; steam is then cooled before being dispersed into the air as a warm mist. Can be used as a vaporizer. |
| ||
| ||
| WELDED HANDLES | | In cookware, this handle is welded to the outside of the pan, providing a smooth interior. It is not as durable as a riveted handle. |
| ||
| ||
| WIRE WHIP | | A stand mixer attachment used predominately for creaming and whipping. |
| ||
| ||
| WOOL | | A superb natural insulator, providing maximum warmth in blankets. Extremely durable, wool absorbs and evaporates moisture quickly, providing dry warmth. Naturally flame retardant, too. Dry cleaning is recommended. |
| ||
| ||
| WRAP MATTRESS PAD | | A mattress pad that covers the top and sides of the mattress with elastic all the way around the bottom. Quilted on both the top and the sides, a wrap pad provides a secure fit for your sheets with all-around padding. |
