Additional Control Options
|
Lift Cord
Fabric Roman Shades come standard with a lift cord. Shades ordered with a lift cord operate by pulling down on the cord to raise the shade and by releasing the cord to lower. Cords are white to coordinate to the liner color. Shades ordered with a lift cord come with a cord cleat that must be installed. The cord cleat secures the loose lift cord to the wall when the shade is raised, reducing the strangulation hazard for children and pets. When ordering shades with a lift cord, make sure to consider where your cord cleat will be installed. |

Clutch Control
Fabric Roman shades ordered with clutch control operate by pulling on a cord loop located to the side of the shade. Nylon cord loops are color coordinated to the shade fabric. Stainless steel chain is also available. Shades ordered with clutch control come with a cord tensioner that must be installed. The cord tensioner secures the cord loop to the wall, reducing the strangulation hazard for children and pets. When ordering shades with clutch control, make sure to consider where your cord tensioner will be installed. |

Wand Control
Wand Control is a unique and affordable motorization option. Wands hang to the side of your shade and allow operation of the shade at the push of a button. Wands are available in five colors that will coordinate with shade fabrics. Wand control shades are charged through a charging port in the back of the wand. Charging cables connect from the charging port to your wall outlet. Motor batteries generally require re-charging every three to six months. |
