Installing LiteRise® For 
Trouble-Free Operation

The LiteRise® cordless system makes raising and lowering blinds and shades easier than ever. Push up to raise and pull down to lower. Your blinds and shades stay right where you put them. 

Here's a quick tip on bracket placement that will help you avoid a common installation error that can keep certain shades or blinds from functioning properly.  This tip applies to the LiteRise option when used for

  • Decor® blinds, 
  • Brilliance Pleated Shades 
  • 3/8" Duette Honeycomb shades
  • 3/8" Applause Honeycomb Shades

Place Brackets In Safe Areas 
It's a simple tip, be sure to place your brackets in areas of the shade where they are not directly above the spool covers or drive assembly (motor and transmission).  On smaller shades, this may leave some relatively tight areas in which to install the brackets, but you will always be able to install without going above any of these mechanisms.  Be sure to look at the blind or shade before you install the brackets so you can better plan the bracket placement.  You could also hold the blind or shade into the window and mark the places where you will be placing the brackets. 

If you have placed these brackets above the LiteRise components and the shade is operating improperly, remove the shade from the window and relocate the brackets.  

Additional Benefits of LiteRise 

  • No lift cords for a clean, uncluttered look.

  • Proprietary design holds blinds and shades securely in any position - no constant adjusting, making it easy to raise your blinds or shades to an even height.

  • Optional decorative tassel gives easier access to tall windows.

  • Elimination of lift cords means increased safety for children and pets.

  • Top-Down/Bottom-Up and Duolite™ options are available on Duette® with LiteRise, a great solution for bedrooms and bathrooms, even media rooms where both light control and privacy are required.
