What kind of features are available with Roman window blinds?
Custom window coverings can be upgraded in more ways than just color and style. Here are just a few options that are available with roman shades:
- Cordless Lift: This popular option provides a hidden control system that eliminates the lift cord on your roman shades and enables the shades to be easily raised or lowered with the touch of a finger.
- Continuous Cord Loop Controls: This option means the cords on your roman blinds will be secured to wall or window frame, meaning your blinds will have fewer cords on display. A great choice for larger/heavier blinds.
- Hobbled Fold: In addition to the standard plain flat fold, you can choose to upgrade to a hobbled fold on many roman blinds. This means that when the shade is fully extended, it will retain the soft folds or “loops” for a more traditional look.
- Motorized Lift: With a motorized lift upgrade, your roman blinds can be raised or lowered at the push of a button.
