Roller Shadesoperate Effortlessly With This Latest Feature
Roller shades come in two different options
Roller shades come in two different options. First is the spring roller shades
which is what most people associate with roll up shades, you grab the bottom
and give a little tug to raise or lower. The second is a cord loop system. This is a
continuous chain that always stays the same length. In this article I will highlight
some benefits as well as some disadvantages of the cord loop system.
Roll up shades with a cord loop control are very easy to operate. The cord is
usually made of beaded plastic that is very strong. To operate you simple rotate
the cord to raise or lower the shade. If you like your shade at a precise level then
youll like this control.
Can you reach the top of your windows? With a spring roller shades you can
only raise them as high as you can reach. With the cord loop system height is
out of the equation. You dont have to be 6 ft tall to open your shades
completely.
They are also great for hard to reach places. Can operate the shade by reaching
over a piece of furniture, or over a kitchen sink where sometimes, it can be a
hard stretch over the counter top. This control makes it pretty easy.
The drawbacks are they have large gaps on the sides. I think this is one of the
biggest issues customers have. Roll up shades with a cord loop have about 3/4
inch gaps on each side. This may not be the most ideal shade if your looking for
total room darkening. You will get light coming through on the sides.
As with any corded window treatment child safely is a concern. All roll up shades
regardless of the manufacture with come with some type of clip to attach the
cord to the wall or inside the frame.If child safety is a concern I suggest using the
clip to attach the cord and prevent young children from getting tangled up.
Another issue but is true with all roll up shades is they may not roll up and down
perfectly straight. Also that into consideration that all windows are not square
and what you end up with is uneven gaps at the sides. At the top the gap may be
3/4 inch and at the bottom it may be 1/4 inch. If this is the kind of thing that would
drive you crazy, be warned.
So we just covered some benefits and disadvantages of roll up shades with a
cord loop system. I like this feature and prefer it over a spring roller shades. It is
easy to operate, easy to reach, preferred for tall windows and over sinks, but
they do have bigger gaps on the sides that can be uneven. I hope this helps you
make a more informed decision when purchasing roll up shades. Good luck.
