Dual Shades

These beautiful and elegant Dual Shades offer the benefits of both roller blinds and venetian horizontal blinds in one convenient product.

Dual Shades feature alternating sheer and solid linear fabric bands. The bands can be aligned to block out light and increase privacy or alternated to allow light to diffuse into the room. When fully lifted, they are cleverly hidden in the headrail.

While they come standard with manual operation, motorization is available. No matter your style, you are sure to find Dual Shades that work as they are available in a variety of fabrics, textures, and sizes.

Additionally, Dual Shades boast EnviroGreen™ certification – so you can rest assured knowing that the fabric used is guaranteed to be safe for your health and the environment.

  3. For Installation the Miracle Fit Base has two sided tape attached to it that is peeled off when installing on the inside of the window trim. If necessary silicone can also be used around the edges of the base or screws can be drilled through the back lip of the base for extra support.
  4. Optimum positions for installing the Miracle Fit is either directly behind the fabric of the shade or parallel to the fabric of the shade depending on the needs of the customer. The Standard 1 1/2 ” Miracle Fit will be used the vast majority of times as gaps on the sides of the shades or blinds rarely exceed 1”.
  5. For shipping and packaging purposes, when the Miracle Fit is ordered with shades or blinds at the time of order the Base will be cut to the maximum width of the blind and you may have multiple pieces of the Base being sent depending on the height of the shade ordered but the Extension will always be the full height of the shade or blind ordered in one full length piece.
  6. When ordering the Miracle Fit please keep in mind that you are ordering two times the height of the shade as it goes on both sides and we will round up to the nearest foot. If a Miracle Fit Sill Option is required then you require two times the height and one time the width of the shade to be ordered for the Miracle fit.

Child Safe Features

Child Safety with Cord or Chain Operated Window Coverings

Comprehensive bilingual warning tags, stickers and installation labels, which communicate the important safety issues to the consumer, are on all manufactured customer products.

Please read installation instructions thoroughly, install all supplied safety hardware as indicated including, but not limited to cord cleats, tension devices and cord weights and ensure there are not any closed cord loops which are accessible or within the reach of children.

In any window covering installation Child Safety is always an important consideration. All cords must be kept out of reach of children, including infants, to prevent serious injuries or strangulation. Young children can become entangled and strangle in bead chain and cord loops:

  • Always keep cords and bead chains out of children’s reach
  • Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from bead chains and cords. Children can climb furniture to get to the inner cords or lift cords.
  • DO NOT tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist which can create a loop.
