A Recent Enhancement to Luminette^® With PowerGlide™ Allows Returns To The Wall
On One Or Both Sides.

Earlier this year, Designer Blinds introduced you to the new Returns To The Wall option available for Luminette Privacy Sheers with PowerGlide. Due to the nature of this enhancement, it is only available for Luminette Sheers using the PowerGlide motorization option. It's a great reason to upgrade your customer to all the additional benefits of operating Luminette sheers from anywhere in a room with an easy remote control.

When you order Luminette with PowerGlide, returns to the wall are standard at no additional charge. Until recently it was only available with full returns on both ends of the shade —as illustrated here:

The above is still the standard method. But there are times when you may want to have the full return on just one side. If the "Passive" or non-control side butts up against the wall, for example. So now Luminette sheers with one-way draws may optionally request to have the return to the wall on just one side --the "active" or control side as illustrated here:

Simulated Split Stack
The one-sided option will also allow you to specify a simulated split track. On a standard split track the vanes always operated in the same direction in unison. When traversing the vanes on a standard split track, both sides move in unison. When there are special needs for additional control, a simulated split stack can be achieved by placing one left draw and one right draw together on the same opening. With PowerRise, placement of the Satellite Eye can allow whichever is preferred, individual operation or operating in unison. Additionally, vanes can be operated in opposite directions to maximize light control in any environment.
