Where Style Meets Function

We believe in the reliability of cordless. From Lift & Lock™ to a motorized wand, you can lift and lower your cordless window coverings with a single touch — making it easy to learn how to pull down blinds without hassle. Our Perfect Lift window treatment options are where great style meets modern, easy functionality.

How Do Cordless Blinds & Shades Work?

All of our cordless window treatments have a lift mechanism in either the headrail or bottom rail. This makes it possible to operate them through lifting and lowering. Depending on the exact cordless product you choose, either twist the wand or tilt the bottom rail to open the slats. The quality cordless mechanisms allow you to raise and lower your shades evenly, and you can be sure the state-of-the-art cordless technology is durable, sleek, and reliable.
