Manual Shades

Not every window needs a motor. Many just need the right fabric and a clean lift.

Roller, honeycomb and pleated — simple, durable, cordless.

Manual roller, honeycomb and pleated shades cover the majority of the windows we install. They're economical, exceptionally reliable and available in the same fabric range as our motorized lines — so a room can mix manual and motorized shades and still look completely consistent.

Cellular honeycomb shades are the workhorse of Gulf Coast energy efficiency: the trapped-air cells insulate against summer heat and keep conditioned air where it belongs. Top-down/bottom-up lift lets you keep privacy at eye level while daylight pours in above.

Cordless and child-safe
Standard cordless lift systems — no dangling cords in reach of kids or pets.
Energy efficient
Cellular honeycomb construction reduces heat transfer at the glass.
Top-down / bottom-up
Daylight above, privacy below — ideal for street-facing rooms.
