Wooden down legs are added to board mounted window treatments to make the side rigid.  You need to add a minimum of 2″ to the window casing’s outside width so that the legs clear the casing on both sides.

The tilt function on a Wood Blind can be motorized.  You can remotely open and close the slats at the touch of a button.  This feature is particularly useful for blinds located in very hard to reach locations such behind sofas.  Motorization will not raise and lower a shade – it is for slat tilting only.

Fabric Tape is a beautiful upgrade to a wood blind.  The tape replaces the string ladders that come with a standard blind. You can select a color to highlight a specific color in the room.

Wide Edge Banding is available for your bamboo shade.  You can also have your 6″ valance made in the same fabric to match the edging.

The standard return is 3-1/2″ on this window treatment.  A return is the distance from the front of the window treatment to the wall.  See the other return sizes on the Options page.

Many Roman Shades can be made with Top Down Bottom Up operation.  The shade will operate as a standard shade (top down) and from the bottom up.

• Two cords (1 left – 1 right) operate this feature
• Outside Mount Only
• The headrail for TD/BU is 2-1/2″ deep

The matching tilt wand open and closes the slats.  You have the option to replace the tilt wand with string cords. The choice is a personal preference.  If you decide to order tilt cords, we do not recommend placing the lift cord and the tilt cord on the same side of the blind.  Cord tangling may become an issue in daily use.
