CAUTIONARY NOTES:
• Sheer Shadings are highly engineered textiles, but like
any fabric, there are some visible variations, which are
normal and not product defects
• Slight wrinkles, puckers or other variations may appear
and are inherent to this product.
• The three-inc vane fabric will narrow slightly at the head
rail and bottom rail.
• If shadings are ordered at the same time, with identical
color and height, vane alignment can be guaranteed
within 1/4”. This must be requested at tiem of order.
•Vanealignmentcannotbespeciedonmotorized
shadings due to motor variations.
Three-inch vane fabrics narrow slightly at the bottom
rail. In addition, the bottom rail pivots up when the
vanes are fully open.
