Design Options

  • The finishing touch for your window shade.
  • Eight styles complement a variety of decors, from a tailored straight hem to scalloped edges.
  • Available with any fabric (except Cortina).
Decorative Trims
  • Fabric trims enhance the look of your shade.
  • You may select one of three attractive trim styles, and we will choose the most complementary color. Or, you may request a specific color.
  • Available with any fabric.
Plain Hems
  • With plain hems, the bottom rod is the bottom of the shade. Except with Cortina, the bottom rod is wrapped with the shade's fabric; the ivory, gray, or black bottom rod remains unwrapped.
  • Plain hems are often the preferred way to finish the bottom of the shade when it's important to minimize light leakage on inside mounted applications. Patterned hems, particularly styles like "Broken Scallop" and "Breakers", can leave light gaps between the sill and the trim even when the shade is in the fully lowered position.
  • When a decorative hem is used with outside mounted shades, be sure to allow sufficient overlap of the bottom sill to prevent light gaps.
