Lift Controls

Control Types

Continuous-loop Lift System

The standard continuous-loop lift system provides easy operation of window treatments. A powerful clutch lifts the shade and holds it steady without the chain loop changing length. Included safety chain guide keeps the chain out of reach of children and pets to eliminate dangling chain hazards.

Reverse Roll

Choose how your fabric will roll over the tube — standard orientation (to the back) provides optimal light control, while reverse roll (to the front) will project the fabric away from the window to make room for obstructions like window handles or cranks. Reverse roll is not available with Cassette Valance.

Valance Styles

Cassette Valance

Add a cassette valance to your window treatment to create a unique visual effect. Available in two sizes on continuous-loop shades lift systems. Available in white, vanilla and brown. Cassettes have a powder-coated finish and are rated for outdoor use. Cassette valances must be ordered at the same time as the shade. If ordering shades for multiple window sizes, please be sure to specify valance size on order to ensure all are manufactured with same size valance.
