Provenance™ Woven Woods Come Through

In Clutch Situations

NEW! Wider Widths Up To 144" 

NEW! Proven Clutch operation Option

NEW! Continuous Loop Cord

NEW! Universal Cord Tensioner

In just a year, the Provenance™ name has become the signature of quality in woven wood shades.  Now Provenance Shades are even better with these new features and options.

Comes Through In A Clutch! 

The most significant of the new options for Provenance Woven Wood Shades is the availability of clutch operation, which makes all of the other new developments possible.  Due to the heavy weight of the woven wood shade with cords, the size of the 2-on-1 shade had previously been limited to 96" wide. Now, with the optional clutch lifting system, the maximum width available is being extended to 144" for two-on-one shades. 

Single panel shades are limited in width by the maximum width of each particular fabric.  Most of the fabrics are available to 96" wide.  See your Hunter Douglas Reference & Price Guide for the specific limitations of each fabric.   

The color coordinated plastic bead chain forms a continuous cord loop and makes lifting the shade easy.  Have your customers try it.  They'll want it even for smaller windows for which it isn't required.  It makes lifting easier and the continuous loop cord stays out of the way and looks much nicer than standard cord operated shades.  Used properly with the new Universal Cord Tensioner, the clutch system provides your customers with increased safety and removes the threat of danger to children and pets.  Designer Blinds strongly urges that cord tensioners and other safety devices always be installed on every installation.
