Shangri-La
Finished Dimension:
Once ordered and manufactured, the width of the
Shangri-La fabric cannot be altered. Comfortex makes
deductions to the width of the Shangri-La Window
Shadings depending on the type of mounting indicated.
For all mounting types, fabric will meåasure
exactly the length ordered when the vanes are in
the open or "view-through" position. |

| Shangri-La
Window Shadings are available with two different
fabric vanes. Eternity fabric gently filters light
while Moonlight cast deep room darkening shadows.
Please note that Moonlight is not a black out fabric. |
| Shading
Operation |
Shangri-La
Window shadings feature the Omni-View Cord System.
The Omni-View system provides the ability to manipulate
the shading into various viewing positions. From
the closed and retracted position (fabric inside
the headrail), lower the fabric by pulling down
on the rear of the loop cord until you reach the
desired shading position.
Once lowered completely to the window sill, continuing
to pull the cord in the same direction will open
the horizontal fabric vanes offering varied views
to the outside. Continuing to pull the cord in the
same direction will lift the shading while still
in the "view-through" mode. To retract
the shading, simply pull down on the front of the
cord until the shading reaches the desired viewing
mode or fabric position. |
| Viewing
Options |
The
Omni-View System provides a number of varied views
to the outside for controlling lights and privacy.
Consequently, there are variations in visibility
though the shading when the vanes are tilted to
their maximum open positions. The following five
modes can be obtained with standard shading operation
when viewing the shading at eye level.
| Closed
Top, Open Bottom |
By partially lowering the shading from the
fully raised position, the upper portion of
your window will become semi-opaque while
allowing a clear view below. |
| Fully
Private |
When lowered completely, Shangri-La provides
complete privacy and softly diffuses light. |
| Partially
Open |
Opening Shangri-La slightly will gradually
increase the level of light and allow varying
levels of "view-through." |
| "View-Through"
When Lowered |
By completely opening the vanes, Shangri-La
provides a softened, veiled view to the outside. |
| "View-Through"
When Raised |
From the open or "view-through"
position, continuing to pull down on the back
of the cord will raise the fabric allowing
a clear view outside from below, and a veiled
view above, This exclusive feature allows
Shangri-La to be raised up to 24" in
the mode. |
|
| Vane
Closure |
Shangri-La
Window Shading fabric vanes overlap and provide
privacy when closed. However, the inherent nature
of the fabric will cause a slight increase in the
distance from the front sheer to back sheer as you
move further down the shading. These vanes do not
form a perfect seal against light leakage which
is most visible toward the bottom of the shading.
Vane closure is measured as the distance between
the front and rear fabric sheers 6" up from
the lowest point of the bottom rail, with the shading
fully lowered and the vanes closed. For Eternity
Shadings, the maximum distance from the front sheer
to the back sheer when closed is 7/8". On Moonlight
fabrics, the distance is 5/8". |
| Side
by Side Alignment |
When
Shangri-La Window Shadings are installed side-by-side,
vane alignment can be guaranteed within 1/4"
only if:
• The shadings are the same color and ordered
at the same time.
• The sum total of the widths of all shades
needing alignment is less than 102".
• Side-by-side lineup is specified when the
order is placed.
|
| Leveling
the Shangri-La Shading |
| Shangri-La
Window Shadings are leveled and weighted in the
factory. When installed level, the fabric will not
skew when raised. If the headrail is not installed
level, skewing can occur which can damage the edge
of the fabric. Be sure to follow the installation
instruction carefully to ensure correct and
balanced operations. |
| Hardware |
Hold
Down Brackets
Shangri-La hold down brackets are made of a clear
plastic, which fits into holes in the endcap of
the bottom rail. Hold downs are generally used to
secure the bottom of the window shading to prevent
swaying.
Extension Brackets
Extension or "L" brackets are available
which can be used to project the back of the shading
4 4/1" from the mounting surface.
Spacer Blocks
Spacer blocks project the shading 3/8" from
the mounting surface. Use spacer blocks to obtain
clearance when obstructions, such as window cranks
or door handles, obstruct the movement of the shading.
Cord Tensioner
The cord tensioner keeps the Shangri-La cord taut
to prevent children and pets form entangling and
subsequently injuring themselves. It also allows
the bead chain and roll stop to pass though easily,
as well as the nylon cord. Cord tensioners must
be used with Shangri-La for this product to comply
with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
