Our shades come with many optional features.
Clutch Lifting System (Continuous Cord Loops)
The clutch system operates with a beaded chain loop making it easier to lift larger or heavier shades. To operate, pull the beaded loop to the desired height. The beaded loop is approximately 2/5th the height of the shade.
The clutch lifting system is available on a 1-1/4” and 2” deep headrail. Advise left or right pull. A tension device will be provided with each beaded chain loop to permanently attach to your wall or window frame.
Shade side return flaps are provided on all outside mounted shades. They will be the width of the headrail and 5” in length.
Front Operation
Front operation is available. Front operation places the operating cord within easy reach. Head rail depth for for clutch lifting system is 2”. This option places the shade fabric closer to the window.
Motorization
Motorization is available for both roman and roller shades. Motors are either rechargeable or wired. Operated by wall control or remote controls. Also available as app on mobile devices.
Motorization is ideal for oversized or hard to reach windows.
Top Down Only
Top down only is also available. This operation does allow for clutch operation.
Valance
An optional valance is available on the front of the shade, reverse side of shade or both. A front valance may be desired for a decorative element or to conceal lifting options on sheer shades.
A reverse valance or a fabric lined valance is preferable if a shade with a lifting option is visible from outside to conceal the operating mechanism from the exterior/interior view.
Faux Valance
This option is often requested with our sheer weaves with optional clutch lifting system. Fabric lining (white or ivory) is attached from top of shade 5” down to conceal the clutch housing from the front view of the shade.
Lining Fabric-Reverse Valance
This option is used when the shade has fabric lining and there is a desire to hide the clutch lifting system from the outside of the window. Valance will be white or ivory with a hemmed bottom.
Fabric Lining
The fabric lining option offers additional privacy and/or sun control. Available in Ivory or White. The maximum width without seaming is 94”. If seaming is required, we will seam horizontally at the upper quarter of the shade. Contact us about our room darkening lining option.
Extra Dense
We offer a variety of weaves in extra density. The weaving process uses approximately 30% to 50% more fiber compared to normal density. This option is practical for additional light filtering but does not offer the security of privacy or light filtering lining.
