Offer A Retraction!

Now UltraGlide™ with Cords That Retract Is Now Available For Silhouette® Window Shadings.

Now, for the first time, Silhouette window shadings can be operated using a single tassel cord. The unique UltraGlide system makes it easier than ever to raise and lower Silhouette shadings, as well as tilt the vanes for precise light control.

To lower The Shadings and open the vanes, pull the cord toward the center and down in a pumping motion.  Allow the cord to fully retract between strokes


To close the vane and raise the shading, pull the cord down and slightly out, again using a pumping motion and allowing the cord to fully retract between each stroke,

  • Single cord design allows for easy one-hand operation to raise, lower and control light

  • The clean look of a single control cord enhances the sleek, elegant appearance of the shading

  • Cord and tassel are color coordinated to shading fabric and hardware

  • Cord retracts to a constant length after each use

  • Elimination of cord loop enhances child and pet safety

  • Cord may be shortened to match consumer operating preferences

  • No need to permanently secure a cord tensioner to wall or wooden casement

  • Offered with all fabric styles, colors 
    and vane sizes

  • Available in widths and heights up to 96”

  • Standard headrail size only not available for shadings made with oversized headrails
