Product Options (Essentials Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades)
Lift Type
Continuous Cord Loop
Continuous Cord Loop
Raises and lowers the shade using either a looped stainless steal chain or a plastic beaded nylon cord.

The looped cord stays at the same length regardless of the position of the shade. Eliminates the traditional dangling cord, adding child safety and a neater appearance. Includes a tension device at the bottom of the chain for added child safety.

Product Description (Essentials Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades)
The Essentials Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades offer reliable functionality while featuring clean lines and a streamlined appearance. With a range of fabric collections that are designed with nature in mind, you're sure to find something that fits your design style and budget. A large variety of upgrades and options allow you to create a custom roller shade that accommodates your needs and lifestyle. Among the options are rechargeable motorization controls and a no tools friction mounting system for inside mounts.

Note: On all roller shades, the ordered width measurement will be the basis for the "tip to tip" of the operating mechanism. For proper operation, the fabric width will be narrower than the width ordered. This can produce light gaps on each side of the shade. If you have minimal casing around your window glass, then to compensate, you may want to order an outside mounted shade for better coverage and privacy. Also, due to the characteristics of some shade materials, the shade may tend to track to one side or the other, referred to as "telescoping". These characteristics are not considered a defect.

  • Aristocrat Fabric Collection: 100% Polyester. Greenguard Certified.
  • Metropolitan Fabric Collection: 100% Polyester. Greenguard Certified.
  • Sterling Fabric Collection: 100% Polyester. Greenguard Certified.
  • Fabrics are the same color on both sides.
  • To ensure color consistency and minimize dye lot variation, order all shades for the same room at the same time.
  • Fabric appearance can vary based on changing light conditions in a room and color reflection of the interior decor.
  • Creases in the fabric may occur during transit due to the time the shade remains rolled up in the packaging material. To remove creases, unroll the shade completely and let it hang for several days. Most wrinkles creases will resolve after several days.
  • Roller shades will be narrower than the width ordered. To reduce the resulting light gap on each side of the shade and to achieve maximum privacy and better light control, consider Outside Mount and overlap the shade accordingly.
  • Shades will have a larger gap on the control side of the shade than the non-control side of the shade. For continuous cord loop, the control side is the side the cord loop is on. For motorization, the control side is on the right side of the shade.
  • Darker colors will filter out more light than the lighter color fabrics resulting in a more room darkening or blackout style of shade. This is a result of lighter color fabrics "glowing" from the light hitting them, while darker colors absorb light.
  • Material edges may curl inward (hourglass). Long narrow shades and shades grabbed/handled at the side edges are more prone to curling.
  • Colors are not an exact match with the corresponding blackout product. Order samples to ensure you are getting the color you want.
  • Cleaning and Care Information
  • Vacuum the shade using an upholstery attachment when dusty. Dust can also be gently removed with a dusting cloth.
  • Do not immerse the shade in the water. Shade may be gently cleaned with a damp white cloth. After cleaning, keep the shade lowered to allow the shade to dry completely before raising the shade.
  • Loose fibers may appear on material edges from time to time. This is normal and does not affect the overall integrity of the shade. Simply trim off the loose fibers with a pair of sharp scissors.
  • All factory measurements and deductions can have a ±3/16" variance
  • Mounting hardware included (wall anchors and/or specialty screws may be required based on your mounting surface - not included)
  • Free Ground Shipping (on all sizes)
