Chain Colors:

More Information

Plastic Beaded Chain
Colored plastic beads are fused to a color coordinated nylon cord. The plastic beaded chain is argued to be the strongest of the chain options due to its continuous cord. Plastic beaed chains do not hang as nicely as the metal beaded chains.

Available Colors: White, Ivory, Black

Includes: Color coordinated chain connector and clear snap-on stop ball.

Nickel Plated Steel Beaded Chain
The least durable of all choices but more economical than stainless steel.

Includes: Nickel plated steel chain connector and crimp-on stop ball.

Stainless Steel Beaded Chain
Stainless steel beaded chain is close to the plastic beaded chain in strength. The advantage of stainless steel is that it will retain its appearance.

Includes: Stainless steel chain connector and nickel plated steel crimp-on stop ball.

Tube Custom Cut Length:

More Information

Custom Cut Tube Length
As a free service we will cut the tube to a specific length to suit your needs. The tube width and fabric width are typically the same unless you have a really tall shade and want to leave a little extra room for material tracking as it rolls up on the tube.

Optional: FREE custom cut lengths cut to an accuracy of 1/16" +/- 1/32

We do not accept requests for cuts to 32nds, we do not use mm and decimals should have fractional equivalents on a tape measure.

Cut lengths can not be longer than the item length. Example: If the item length is titled as 24" or 2 Feet and you need 24 1/16", you will need to buy the next size up which should be 36" or 3 Feet.

Hem Bar Custom Cut Length:

More Information

Custom Cut Hem Bar Length
As a free service we will cut the hem bar to a specific length to suit your needs. Hem bars are typically cut to the same dimension as the tube and fabric unless you are going to seal the ends of the hem bar pocket. Sealing the ends prevents the hem bar from sliding out of the pocket. We recommend making the Hem Bar length 1" less than the tube length if you are going to seal the ends. This leaves 1/2" per side to seal the hem bar pocket.

Optional: FREE custom cut lengths cut to an accuracy of 1/16" +/- 1/32

We do not accept requests for cuts to 32nds, we do not use mm and decimals should have fractional equivalents on a tape measure.

Cut lengths can not be longer than the item length. Example: If the item length is titled as 24" or 2 Feet and you need 24 1/16", you will need to buy the next size up which should be 36" or 3 Feet.

Information and Tips

Recommended Tip to Tip Deduction = 1 1/8"
- Using included Clutch, Brackets, and End Plug

Tip to Tip is defined as the space that entire assembly (tubes, brackets, drives, idler etc.) needs to fit. This type of measurement is most often used for shades mounted within framed constraints.

Minimum Shade Width = 3 1/2" Tip to Tip
- Using included Clutch, Brackets, and End Plug

Note: We sell the clutch kits without consideration of use. Clutches are rated for capacity to hold a material in place. Clutches with small heads require more pull force to lift a shade than a clutch with a larger head. Larger tubes will require more pull force than smaller tubes. Below are our generic recommendations for clutch use which are conservative. Tube deflection and pull force are considered.
   •  Shades up to 36" width - R8C02 Clutch and 1" Tube
   •  Shades up to 48" width - R8C01 Clutch and 1.125" Tube
   •  Shades up to 60" width - R8C03 Clutch and 1.25" Tube
   •  Shades up to 64" width - R8C14 Clutch and 1.5" Tube
   •  Shades up to 96" width - R16 or R24 Clutch and 1.5" Tube
   •  Shades up to 120" width - R16 or R24 Clutch and 2" Tube
   •  Shades up to 144" width - R24 Clutch and 2.5" Tube

Actual shade size, tube size and material should be used to determine the true limits of a system. The Shade Fabricator Calculator below will predict tube deflection (and more) based on tube size, material weight, width and height. Tube deflection is bending of the tube and causes ripples in the hanging shade material.

Shade Fabricator Calculator - (Excel Spreadsheet) - Calculates Roll Diameter, Shade Weight, Tube Deflection Etc.

The use of the internal hem bar requires a material formed pocket at the bottom of the shade. The hem bar pocket is typically formed by stitching or fusing the material. Alternative methods like double stick tape and adhesives can be used with some experimentation.

The clutch and end plug slide into the tube without the use of tools. The included roller shade tube features double stick tape to securely attach your roller shade material. We recommend cutting the shade material height so a minimum of 1.5" extra wraps of material is left on the shade tube when the shade is fully down. This prevents the material from directly pulling on the tape.

* Projection Distance is the distance from the mounting surface to the center of the tube. You would need to shim the brackets or use larger projection brackets if half the roll diameter is larger than the projection distance of the brackets. If you do not know what your roll diameter is you can calculate the roll diameter using the shade calculator.
