Benefit to Customer

Bracket: Stainless steel, low profile, front loading

Bracket: Plastic with rear tightened set screw

Discount Window brackets are less visible, much faster and easier to install or remove and the bracket will not get brittle and break over time. This is the most common part we replace.

Cord: Tightly woven 1.2 mm

Cord: .9 mm

Discount Window cords are 63% stronger. They are tested past 10,000 cycles whereas .9 mm cord is only tested to 5,000 cycles.

Cord Lock: Delrin Force-distribution bearing to re-direct cords

Cord Lock: Plastic angled ribs to re-direct cords.

The Delrin Force-Distribution cord lock allows the shade to lift easier. The cord will last longer because the system prevents grooves that create friction and an uneven bottom rail.

Reversible Cord Lock

Cord Lock not Reversible

Having a reversible cord lock allows the shade owner to easily and quickly convert a left hand control to a right hand control or vice versa.

Fabric: Sealed on both sides

Fabric: Not sealed

By sealing our Fabric there is a reduced airflow through the fabric to it offers greater insulation and stays cleaner longer. It is easy to clean because stains stay on the surface.

Fabric: Bonded Polyester

Fabric: Spun lace Polyester

Bonded polyester is made like paper whereas spun lace is made like candy floss, which allows air particles to flow through.

Bottom Rail: Self Leveling

Bottom Rail: Not Self Leveling

If the bottom rail goes out of the level with an Discount Window shade the homeowner can easily correct it so there are no service calls required.

Hardware System: Not submersible

Discount Window shades are designed to be fully submersed and washable. (Note: the cordless system is not submersible)
