Operating Options for Your Cellular Shades

Whether you choose Architella, Duette or Applause cellular shades, a popular operating feature is the top-down-bottom up operating system. The top down/bottom up cellular shade lets you move the top or bottom of the shade up or down independently. Not only does this give you more precise control over light and privacy, it also gives your room a unique and open feel.

Motorized Cellular Shades

Add motorization options to any of our cellular shades for added convenience. We offer the latest in cellular shade motorization, including the PowerRise® with Platinum™ Technology battery-powered system that doesn’t require any additional wiring to install.
