Comfortex: Sheer Shadings: 2" Shangria- La Eternity and Linen Sheer Shadings


Sheer Shadings

2" Light Filtering (LF) Shangri-la Window Shadings is the ultimate in beauty and design offering the ability to tilt for privacy and rolls inside the headrail for full view. The 2" louver is in the center with a sheer fabric on the front and back of the louver so when rotated open you look through the sheer fabric. The sheer material adds some privacy while still enabling you to see your view outside. The 2 inch light filtering Shangri-La window shades have a beautiful, soft look to them which are suitable in formal settings while also looking great as a casual window treatment too.

The 2" LF Shangri-la Window Shadings will cut out the direct sunlight while still filling the room with a glowing subtle light. They have the functionality of a blind with the soft look of draperies. The louvers can be rotated to different angles to adjust the light and the view or you can lift them all the way up to the top of the window where they virtually disappear into the headrail. The control is a continuous loop cord which lifts and lowers the shade. The cord always remains the same length unlike other types of window blinds that have a lift cord that gets longer hanging on the floor when the blind is lifted. With the continuous loop control the shade can be stopped in any height position that you want it at.

Features:
Head Rail and Bottom Rail are color coordinated to match the shade.
Continuous Cord Loop Lift System comes standard.
Optional Motorized is available (See available options tab for pricing).
The 2" Soft Fabric Louvers can be rotated open while down or anywhere partially raised.
Horizontal Fabric Louvers are opaque and the front and rear fabric facing is sheer.
Mounting Hardware & Install Screws are included with most products.
Lifetime warranty against defects in parts and workmanship.
Free FedEx or UPS ground shipping on all orders under 94".


Production time: Approximately 5-7 business days plus 1-5 days for shipping.

Color Accuracy Policy:

Although we do our best to make sure that the colors on our web site are accurate, actual colors will vary. In addition, subtle color differences and textures may not be fully appreciated on some systems due to differences in monitors and/or display cards because computer monitors are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. Since it is not possible to guarantee our online colors will look the same on all computers, we do not guarantee that what you see accurately portrays the color of the actual window treatment. Due to the fact that our products are all custom made, and can't be returned, you need to be sure that you can live with any color variations that are possible from our scanning of the actual samples. Also, most of our products use Color Coordinated Components. Color Coordinated means similar colors but not necessarily the same exact color. An exact match in color is not always possible for the components of the blind/shade. The color that best coordinates with the product's slat/fabric color will be chosen for use on the components. All components will not necessarily be of the same exact coordinated color. Some examples of color-coordinated component would be ladder strings, lift cords, tilter mechanisms, bottom rails, tassels, etc. If an exact color match is needed, please call and make an appointment for an in-home estimate and a friendly sales representative will bring the actual samples to your home for examination.

Warranty Information
Cleaning and Care: The soft and delicate feel of Sheer Horizontal Window Shadings belies the durability of the material. Sheer Horizontal is created from strudy, knitted polyester fabric and may be feather dusted or vacuumed at low suction setting. Spots or stains can be rubbed clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. To avoid discoloration of the material, we recommend against the use of chemical cleaners. If necessary the shading can be professionally ultrasonically cleaned. All knitted fabrics experience weave variations due to heat, humidity and other room conditions. These variations can result in slight bowing, puckering and dimpling of the Sheer Horizontal material. The possible variations are minor and have been shown through case study not to detract from the beauty of this product. Window Shadings Lifetime Limited Warranty Comfortex warrants that its window treatments will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original residential purchaser owns the product, provided that the product was installed properly and in accordance with the installation instructions. The limited lifetime warranty is extended to the original residential purchaser only, in the original window for which it was installed. The warranty does not include any conditions or damages resulting from accidents, alterations, misuse, extraordinary use, misapplication, improper handling, improper installation, improper repairs, operation or cleaning, loss of color intensity, exposure to salt air, damage from insects, or the yellowing and cracking of plastic parts with the passing of time. This warranty does not cover variation in color, grain, or texture in natural wood products nor excessive warping of wood slats in high humidity areas. Loss of pleating is not covered if the product is not being cycled (held in the raised position a portion of the time). Normal wear and tear is not covered. All moving parts, such as cords, will eventually wear out and fabric may fray. Comfortex considers these things as normal wear and tear and will carry a three year limited warranty. This limited warranty does not cover transportation costs to and from the retailer, costs of removal, re-measure, or reinstallation of product, or any incidental or consequential damages. If a Comfortex product is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, we will, at our discretion, repair, replace or refund the cost of a product which fails to conform to this limited warranty. Colors vary from lot to lot and may not exactly match sample swatch, sample book, or previous purchases. Discontinued components or color selections will be replaced with the closest equivalent current product. This shall be your sole remedy under this limited warranty. To obtain service, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the product. THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES OR WARRANTIES.

How To Measure

Measuring Instructions for Shangri-La Window Shadings

Figure U

Important Measuring guidelines for Shangri-La

Precise width and length measurements are critical. Fabric width cannot be altered after the shading is fabricated.

Please use a metal tape measure for accuracy from home to factory.

The headrail must be installed perfectly level and installed evenly to ensure smooth operation. On an inside mount, it is recommended that you check to see that the mounting surface is level and consistent. If your soffit needs to be leveled, this should be done before measuring.

LENGTH CONSIDERATIONS
Comfortex will fabricate your window shading to the exact length ordered, when the vanes are in the open (or view-through) position. When the vanes are rotated to the closed position, the shading will become 3/8" longer.

When closed on an inside mount, a slight puckering can occur on the lower most sheer section because of contact with the sill until the rail begins to lift off the window sill.

If preferred, Shangri-La can be ordered 3/8" less than the window opening's measured length. In this case, the bottom rail will be positioned 3/8" above the sill when the vanes are in the open position. (Figure U) Rotating the vanes closed will cause the bottom rail to touch the window sill, closing any space.

*Shadings over 96" wide may require additional fabrication time.

**Shangri-La is a precision, hand crafted product. Once fabricated, it cannot be altered for either width or length.
Measurements
Measuring Instructions

INSIDE MOUNT
Measure across the width of your window opening in three different places-top, middle, and bottom. Measurements should be taken within the window jamb. Provide the smallest of the three measurements. Be exact, the factory will make the necessary deductions to fit the window opening.

Measure the length of the window opening from the underside of the soffit to the surface of the window sill in two places - use the smallest of these two measurements.

Inside mount blinds are installed inside the window casing. Check to be sure your window opening is deep enough to accommodate the mounting hardware and headrail which is 3 1/2" for a flush mount. Call or e-mail us for specific details

INSIDE MOUNT
Headrail will measure ordered width minimum 3/16"
Fabric will measure ordered width minimum 1 1/8"

OUTSIDE MOUNT
Measure the exact width and length of the area to be covered. On the width, allow at least 1" of overlap on each side. An overlap of 1"-2" on each side is recommended.

Be sure to take into consideration any obstruction such as window trim, molding, locks and window cranks.

Measure the exact width and length of the area to be covered. On the width, add at least 1" of overlap on each side of the opening or window casing. Add a minimum of 3 1/2" - 4" length to allow for the headrail or mounting brackets if you are mounting above the window casing. Call or e-mail us for specific details.

OUTSIDE MOUNT
Headrail will measure ordered width plus 3/16"
Fabric will measure ordered width minimum 3/4"

SIDE MOUNT
Shangri-la may be side mounted using "L" brackets. For side mounts, follow the instructions for inside mounts. An additional *" will be taken off the standard inside mount deduction to allow room for the "L" brackets.

The maximum shade width using the side mount option is 48".

SIDE MOUNT
Headrail will measure ordered width minimum 11/16"
Fabric will measure ordered width minimum 1 5/8"

MAKE SURE MOUNTING SURFACE IS LEVEL
Headrail
If the headrail does not sit level, the fabric will not roll up evenly
which could damage the edges of the shading fabric.

Bracket Installation
End brackets should be located with centerlines 2" in from each end. Depending on the width of the shading, additional brackets may be necessary evenly spaced between the two end brackets.

For shade widths of: Use this number of brackets:
Up to 40" 2
>40"-72" 3
>72"-84" 4
>84"-112" 5

INSIDE MOUNT
fig21

FULLY RECESSED INSIDE
fig7 Low light gap wedges can be used to reduce the top light gap when the shade is mounted fully recessed. The wedge is placed between the mounting surface and the bracket with the tabs on the wedge facing down and the thick end of the wedge toward the back of the bracket.
OUTSIDE MOUNT
fig31

EXTENSION BRACKETS (Optional)
Optional Extension Brackets are used to project the back of the shading up to 2 1/2" from the mounting surface. Attach the Standard Mounting Bracket to the Extension Bracket with the nut and bolt provided (fig.5).
fig4 fig5

SIDE MOUNT
Measure from window sill up to desired mounting position on each side of the window frame. Mark position. Mount Side Mount Brackets on each side of window frame as shown (fig.6). Make sure to confirm that headrail will sit perfectly level. Once Side Mount Brackets are installed and properly positioned, attach the Standard Mounting Brackets using the nuts and bolts provided (fig.7).
fig6 Position screws in center of slots so you can adjust position of bracket as necessary. fig7

fig8 fig9
Push the rail back until it is fully engaged (fig.9). To remove the shading, partially lower the shading and insert a flat head screwdriver as shown (fig.10). Twist the screwdriver until the headrail disengages from the bracket. fig10

CHILD SAFETY
The Consumer Product Safety Commission requires the use of a cord tie down (cord tensioner) on all continuous loop cord systems. The use of such a device is intended to significantly reduce the occurrence of infant or small child strangulation injuries or deaths resulting from the looped pull cords on various window treatment products.

The Cord Tensioner is installed on the Lift Cord before packaging. The Tensioning device should be mounted in the proper position to pull the cord taut in order to reduce the possibility of injury.

CORD TENSIONER INSTALLATION
Lower the shading. Choose one of the three installation methods shown (fig. 11) to position the tension device on the window frame or the wall so that the tension device and the control cord do not interfere with shade operation. The control cord must be taut but still operable. Do not allow for any slack. Do not twist or cross the control cord.
11/4”Screw fig8

OPERATION
Pulling down on the back cord will lower the shading. When the window shading is completely lowered, pulling down on the back cord will open the vanes. Continued pulling in this direction will raise the fabric with the vanes in the open position. The window shading must only be raised a maximum of 24" in this manner to avoid damaging the fabric. There is a stop pre-set on the bead chain to allow 24" of reverse roll-up (fig.12).

Pulling down on the front cord will close the vanes and then raise the shading.

Use the pin on the hold down bracket to punch out the front hole on the bottom rail end cap.

Mount the hold down to the side or back of the window frame so that the pin lines up with the front hole in the bottom rail end cap with the shade fully lowered and fully open. FIG. 13
fig10
Lower the shading and flex the hold down bracket outward so that the pin can be inserted into the hole in the end cap.

CLEANING AND CARE
The soft and delicate feel of Sheer Horizontal Window Shadings belies the durability of the material. Sheer Horizontal is created from sturdy, knitted polyester fabric and may be feather dusted or vacuumed at a low suction setting. Spots or stains can be rubbed clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. To avoid discoloration of the material, we recommend against the use of chemical cleaners. If necessary the shading may be professionally ultrasonically cleaned.

All knitted fabrics experience weave variations due to heat, humidity and other room conditions. These variations can result in slight bowing, puckering and dimpling of the Sheer Horizontal material. The possible variations are minor and have been shown through case study not to detract from the beauty of this product.
