Bring function and safety to your shades with a variety of lift options, including cordless operation that is able to lift even the heaviest shades on a 1½” head rail or our affordable, versatile wand and remote control motorization options, three unique ways to avoid hanging lift cords.

SHADE STYLES

Dual Sheer Shades operate by aligning the fabric bands in the open position for light and view-through, or close the bands for privacy and shade. Fully raise the shade to allow full light and enjoy the view.  Fabrics include 79 light-filtering and 34 room-darkening options.
Shades come standard with clutch control or can be paired with our unbeatable wand and remote control motorization options.
All dual sheer shades come standard with a 3″ cassette that is available with a rounded or square profile.

All dual sheer shades come standard with a 3″ cassette that is available with a rounded or square profile. Add a fabric wrapped bottom bar for the perfect finishing touch.

FLAT SHADE STYLE

Flat shades feature a flat, continuous fabric panel. 
Most fabrics are available to be made in Flat style, with the exception of the fabrics noted by [1] on the Materials Reference table.  Liners of flat shades are seamed to provide added support. This will show a shadow on the front of light filtering shades when light is coming through. We also recommend ordering all flat shades with hidden ribs. Hidden ribs are sewn into the liner material to allow a continuous front panel and provide extra support as the shade is raised and lowered.

HOBBLED SHADE STYLE

Hobbled shades are made with extra fabric in each fold, allowing them to keep the
folded look of a roman shade even when fully lowered.
Hobbled shades are made without ribs and have more lift cords on the back of the
shade, which provide additional support when the shade is raised. See page 10 for
details.
Hobbles will show between 9” and 12” on the front of the shade with 3” folds.
Hobbled shades are only available in waterfall style.
NOTE: Hobbled shades may require extra dressing in the window once installed.

WATERFALL SHADE WITHOUT VALANCE

Waterfall shades come standard without a valance. Shade fabric comes off the
front of the head rail.
Waterfall shades can be ordered with a front valance for a surcharge, which is
used to cover the top fold of the shade.
Back valances hide the view of the components from the outside. They are available
for no additional charge and are made of the liner fabric.
Interior valances are included for light-filtering waterfall shades and are used
to block the outline of the shade components from showing on the front of the
shade. Interior valances install between the shade panel and the components and
are made using blackout liner material. They are 3¾” long.
Waterfall shades ordered with clutch have control cord loop hidden behind the shade.

back of the shade.

less cording on the back of the shade.

Outside mount shades are recommended to be ordered with valance returns. Returns

Return height is 4½”. Standard shades with a valance have returns made shorter

corner.

MULTIPLE SHADES ON ONE HEAD RAIL

Shades are available as 2-on-1 head rail.
The maximum total width is 112” and the gap between shades will be no more than ½”.

Cordless shades operate with no lift cords on the front of the shade. They
are raised and lowered by pulling on the hem bar located behind the

A spring control system located under the wooden head rail holds the
shade in place at any desired position.

CLUTCH CONTROL SHADES

Clutches provide an assisted lift on large shades.
Clutches come with a metal bead chain. Chains can be specified in custom lengths. If no length is specified, they will
be supplied at 2/3 of the shade height.
Compliant cord tensioners are provided with clutch control shades. Cord tensioners secure the cord loop to the wall
or window. They must be installed for the shade to be compliant with safety regulations and to operate properly. When
measuring for clutch shades find a suitable location for the cord tensioner to be installed and measure to this location.
Standard shades with valances that are ordered with a clutch come “clutch adjacent” to keep the stack of the raised
shade from interfering with the loop. This means the shade fabric will be more narrow on the control side, allowing the
cord to hang to the side of the shade. This may cause a light gap on black-out shades.
Waterfall shades without a valance ordered with clutch controls will have control loops behind the shade and are not
available to be ordered as clutch adjacent.

WAND CONTROL SHADES

Battery charging port is located in back of the wand handle.
5 available wand colors: white, beige, gray, bronze, and black.
4 available wand lengths: 24”, 36”, 48”, and 60”.
Motorized shades are mounted on a deeper head rail (see Specifications for details).
Shade fabric will be made more narrow than the ordered width on the control side,
allowing the wand to hang on the side of the shade. This may cause a light gap on black-out shades.
