control maintains consistent length regardless of shade position
- makes it easier to operate larger shades
Cord Lock
-
cord length varies based on positioning of shade
- keep cord around cleat (included) for clean look and child safety
- recommended cord length for optimal operation is 2/3 of shade length
Cordless Control
-
eliminates exposed, dangling cords
- just lift or lower with a gentle push or pull
- If Top Down Bottom Up is selected, cords will be exposed when lowering shades from the top
Motorized
- battery – rechargeable, battery – solar panel, and plug-in options available
- the quietest motors available
- clean aesthetic - no chains or control cords
Consider the placement of your treatment and select a position that's easily accessible for you. "Left" and "Right" refer to your left and right.

-
lower shade from top or raise from the bottom
- dual functionality allows for greater privacy + light control
- not available with continuous loop or motorized control
- maximum size = 84" x 96" (contact us for special requirements)
- bottom-up cord on right and top-down cord on left
- selected control length applies to both cords
Multiple on 1
-
2 shades hang from 1 headrail and operate independently
- perfect for covering for large windows and doors
- small gap (approx. 1/2") will exist between the 2 shades
