Nantucket Hardware System Changed —
Now Same As Silhouette
®

Still uses oversize headrail. Skew adjustments and lifting operation dramatically improved.

Nantucket™ window shadings fabricated by Designer Blinds are now more reliable than ever. All Nantucket shadings are now made with the same reliable hardware and operating system as Silhouette®! For Nantucket™ shadings, this means a smoother, more reliable lift function and an easier bottom rail adjustment to control skewing.

Notable Changes
Operation: Note this change in your Price and Reference Guide (page SI-33). On new Nantucket shadings, pull down on the back portion of the shade to lower it and pull down on the front portion to lift it as illustrated here:

 

Finished Dimensions:
Note these changes to page SI-31 in your Price and Reference Guide:

Inside Mount Fabric Width: 1” less than ordered width
Outside Mount Fabric Width: ¾” less than ordered width
End Mount Fabric Width: 1½” less than ordered width

Measuring; Fabrics Unchanged
Nantucket shadings continue to use an oversize headrail and feature a selection of unique 2½” fabrics. There is no change to the way windows are measured for Nantucket window shadings.
