Micro Pleat Opacity
Options
By themselves, most of the Provenance shade
woven wood fabrics
are sheer or semi-sheer. If the windows you are
covering are in a room that demands complete
privacy, specify the micropleat
opacity option. This option allows you to have the
best of both worlds. Micro-pleat shades are shallow depth,
half-inch pleat pleated shades specifically made to be
installed behind Provenance™ woven wood
shades. They are available in either light
filtering (Twilight) or room darkening (Subdue).

Most woven wood fabrics do
NOT provide complete privacy, this is
especially true at night.
This picture, taken
from outside of a house at night, shows the
difference between the three options. |
Cord
Cleat Required
Because they are of a shallow
depth, micropleat shades do NOT have a cord lock.
Instead, a cord cleat is required to lock the
shade at whatever raised
position
is chosen. Cord cleats are included when micro-pleat
shades are specified.
Micro-pleat shades are
installed by attaching to a clip that is incorporated
into the standard installation bracket, directly
behind the shade.
Micro-pleat shades can be
installed with the cord on either side and changed any
time by simply flipping the shade around. To
prevent the cords of the two shades from becoming
entangled, install the cord of the micro-pleat shade
to the opposite side of the cords on the Provenance
shade.

The
micro-pleat option can help to protect your
furnishings and cut down heat and glare from
direct sunlight.
This picture shows a
micro-pleat shade raised slightly higher than
the Provenance shade from inside the house
during the day. |
