3/4 Inch CrystalPleat SunUp-SunDown Cellular Shades

Construction & Operation

The absolute benefit provided by this innovative shading technology comprises light and thermal control in addition to varying levels of privacy, view and sound insulation with seamless élan. It consists of three horizontal rails – a head rail, a midrail, and a bottom rail separated by two cellular panels. The top panel almost always comprises the room darkening or blackout panel as it’s obviously heavier while the bottom panel comprises the lighter sheer or light filtering panel.

In the Standard Lift Control, a single set of lift cords (provided to the left of the shade) attached to the midrail passes through the head rail with a locking device in place allows for the upward and downward movement of the midrail, allowing the alternate selection of the blinds.

A second set of lift cords (provided to the right of the shade) connects all three rails so that the bottom shade may be raised completely for an unobstructed view; the bottom or room darkening panel may also be used by itself with the top panel held in place at the top with the first lift cord.

The cord release device is contained in the mid rail to enable cord detangling in case of a danger in strangulation.

The Cordless Lift is the safer alternative to the traditional cord lift that can pose strangulation risks in homes with children and pets. Handles attached to the midrail and bottom rail enable the movement of the shade up and down. Please be advised that the handles on both rails need to be used in tandem for efficient control of the shade. Remember to use cordless shades on windows that are within reach.

Both the standard lift and the Cordless lift controls can be employed on inside and outside mount applications.

The head rail is color-coordinated to the top fabric, the bottom rail to the bottom fabric. The midrail is matched to the head rail by default, but this can be changed to match with the bottom rail on request.

The ¾” CrystalPleat SunUp SunDown Shades are made of a single layer of cells that trap air that provides itbas thermal and sound insulation properties; they can’t be made in a combination of cell sizes.

Two or more shades can be used on a single head rail with a standard gap of ½” between panels. Side mounts can also be employed with either lift system.
