Please Note: Room Darkening fabrics are not blackout fabrics. Knitted fabric may experience minor weave variations due to heat, humidity and other room conditions. These variations can result in light bowing, puckering and dimpling of the Shangri-La material. This is considered normal and does not constitute a failure in either workmanship or materials. The possible variations are minor and have been shown through case study not to detract from the beauty of the product.

Head Rail InsertsFabric head rail inserts are used on UltraSleek and Designer Cassette Head Rail Shadings. We use the light filtering fabric insert strips on all shadings including room darkening colors. The color of the fabric insert coordinates with fabric used on the shading.

Length Considerations with Shangri-La ShadingsComfortex will fabricate your Shangri-La Window Shading to the exact length ordered, when the vanes are in the closed position (Figure C).• When the vanes are rotated to the open position, the

shading will become slightly longer.

• When opened on an inside mount,the shading will be slightly longer than ordered length.

• A slight puckering may occur when the vanes are in the open position. Rotating the vanes closed will cause the bottom rail to touch the window sill, before it begins to raise.

Side By Side Alignment When Shangri-La Window Shadings are installed side-by-side, vane alignment can be guaranteed within ¼” only if:• The shadings are the same color and ordered at the

same time.

• The sum total of the widths of all shadings needing alignment is less than 102”.

• Side-by-side lineup is specified when the order is placed.

Omni-View System Shangri-La with UltraSleek and Designer Cassette Hardware Systems feature the Omni-View™ Cord System. The Omni-View System provides the ability to manipulate the shading into various viewing positions. There are variations in visibility through the shadings when the vanes are tilted to their maximum open positions. The following five modes can be obtained with standard shading operation when viewing the shading at eye level.• Closed top, open bottom: By partially lowering the

shading from the fully raised position, the upper portion of your window will become semi-opaque while allowing a clear view below.

• Fully private: When lowered completely, Shangri-La provides complete privacy and softly diffused light.

• Partially open: Opening Shangri-La slightly will gradually increase the level of light and allow varying levels of view through.

• View-through when lowered: By completely opening the vanes, Shangri-La provides a softened, veiled view to the outside.

Open Closed

Figure C

Omni-View System (Continued)• View-through when raised: From the open or view-

through position, continuing to pull down on the back of the cord will raise the fabric allowing a clear view outside from below, and a veiled view above. This exclusive feature allows Shangri-La to be raised up to 24” in this mode.

• Comfortex recommends that you do not raise the shading more than 24” in the off the sill in the view-through when raised mode. Refer to warranty section below for more information.

• Omni-View is only available with Shangri-La Shadings built with braided cord loop.

Cord Information for Shangri-La ShadingsUltraSleek and Designer Cassette HardwareA braided cord loop is used to raise and lower the shading. White, black or bronze loop cord matches your hardware choice. Cord tensioner will match the hardware color.Bead cord is available in black, white, bronze and steel.

The cord loop will measure the length indicated below unless otherwise specified. Shading Length* Standard Loop 16” to 267⁄8” 1’ (12”) 27” to 397⁄8” 2’ (24”) 40” to 597⁄8” 3’ (36”) 60” to 837⁄8” 4’ (48”) 84” to 1077⁄8” 5’ (60”) 108” and greater 6’ (72”)

Maximum cord length is 15 feet. Polyester cord can be ordered in custom lengths in 1 foot increments only. * UltraSleek Head Rail maximum shading length is 84”.

Warranty Information Regarding the Braided Cord Loop on Shangri-La Window Shadings with UltraSleek and Designer Cassette HardwareThe shadings built with a braided cord loop do not have a reverse roll stop. If a shading with the UltraSleek or Designer Cassette head rail is raised above 24” in the reverse roll mode, there is a possibility of the fabric rubbing on the head rail. Comfortex reserves the right NOT to warrant wear and tear of fabric if damaged by roll-up in excess of 24”.

NEW Retractable Cord ShadingsThe Retractable Cord option is a single cord design that provides easy one hand operation to raise, lower and open and close the vanes.

• Retractable Cord hardware is a safe alternative to conventional cord loop controls by retracting and limiting the cord length. The short retractable cord maintains a consistent length whether the shadings are raised or lowered. The elimination of cord loop enhances child and pet safety.

• Available with all fabrics with Designer Cassette head rail.

• White, black or bronze cord and tassel matches your hardware color choice.

• Standard cord length is 2⁄3 the length of the shading. Cord may be shortened to match consumer operating preferences and to keep out of reach of children. Cord length can be modified in the field.

• Mounting a cord tensioner is not necessary.

Overall Operation• When raising and lowering the shading, pull the cord

down in long,even strokes. Allow the cord to fully retract into the head rail after each downward stroke.

To Lower the Shading and Open the Vanes

• Pull the cord down toward the center of the shading with long strokes. Continue until the shading is fully lowered and the vanes are open.

• Allow the cord to retract completely into the head rail after each downward stroke.

• The shading can be lowered to any point by moving the cord back toward the vertical position.

To Tilt the Vanes and Raise Shading• Pull the cord straight down or down and slightly

out with long strokes. With each stroke the shading partially raises.

• Allow the cord to retract completely into the head rail after each downward stroke.

• Use multiple strokes until the shading reaches the desired position.

• The shading can be stopped at any point while raising.

NEW Two on One Head Rail ShadingsTwo on One Head Rail shadings are two shadings sharing the same head rail; each shading operates independently.

• Two on One Head Rail can be combined with cord loop, PowerTouch, Simplicity motorization and retractable cord hardware options. Price as two shadings (including upgrades) and add together.

Two on One Pricing Example: 42” x 60” 2” Light Filtering Shadings: $951 x 2= $1902.00 Retractable Cord Upgrade: $105 x 2 = $210.00 Total List Price: $2112.00

• Specify shading total width and two individual section widths. Note: The two individual sections must add up to the total width.

WireFree Solar PackThe Somfy WireFree solar pack harnesses renewable solar energy to power Shangri-La Shadings. The WireFree option is a maintenance-free solution that utilizes a low profile solar (photo voltaic) panel to charge the battery.

The WireFree Solar battery is trickle-charged by electrical energy generated by the solar panel. The energy is stored in the high capacity NiMH battery (acting like a reservoir).

Please Note: Before ordering the WireFree Solar Pack, be sure to consult the Somfy WireFree Solar Pack Installation Instructions on www.comfortexdealers.com/wirefreeguidelines.html to ensure your application will work properly. Items such as solar zone, window type and window orientation play a part in determining the daily motor performance of the WireFree Solar Pack. If daily motor activations exceed recommended cycles per day as stated in the Solar Pack Performance Chart, the solar panel will not be able to “replenish” the battery as required.

Extension wires are available for the WireFree Solar Pack.

Certified FabricsGREENGUARD® FabricsGREENGUARD Environmental Institute has established performance based standards to define goods with low chemical and particle emissions for use indoors. The Shangri-La fabrics have the passed GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified® certification program for low emitting interior building materials, furnishings, and finish systems.

Flame ResistanceShangri-La fabric may be processed with a topical treatment to resist flames and adhere to strict flammability codes. For more information, contact Customer Service at (800) 843-4151.

UV ProtectionUltraviolet light, entering the home as sunlight, damages furnishings. In time it fades wood floors, furniture, upholstery, draperies, carpeting and artwork. Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes natural, undyed fabrics to turn yellow, weakening their fibers and making them look old and worn prematurely.The right window covering can be very effective in blocking ultraviolet rays. Such effectiveness is measured in terms of a “% UV blockage” rating. The higher the rating, the greater the UV protection.Shangri-La fabrics have the following UV Protection ratings: Light Filtering Fabrics Open Vanes 87 Room Darkening Fabric Open Vanes 88 All Fabrics Closed Vanes 99

Vane Opening and VisibilityVanes on the three styles of Shangri-La fabrics open to slightly different degrees. Consequently, there are variations in visibility through the shadings when the vanes are tilted to their maximum open positions. The variations among the products are shown in the below illustration when looking through the shading ¼ of the way up from the bottom.

Vane Closure (Figure E)Shangri-La vanes are not designed to close tightly. The inherent nature of the fabric will cause a slight increase in the distance from the front sheer to back sheer as you move further down the shading. These vanes do not form a perfect seal against light leakage which is most visible toward the bottom of the shading. Vane overlap ensures that privacy is not compromised. Vane closure is measured as the distance between the front and rear fabric sheers 6” up from the lowest point of the bottom rail, with the shading fully lowered and the vanes closed. On light filtering fabrics, the maximum distance from the front sheer to the back sheer when closed is equal to or less than 5⁄8” for shadings under 60” and 7⁄8” for shadings longer than 60”. On room darkening fabrics, the distance is 5⁄8” regardless of shading length.

On all 3” fabrics, the distance is equal to or less than 1”.

Hold Down BracketsShangri-La hold down brackets are made of a clear plastic which fit into holes in the endcap of the bottom rail.

Extension BracketsExtension or “L” brackets are available to project the back of the shading from the mounting surface. Those shading with metal roller system, it will project 2½”. The extension brackets for UltraSleek and Designer Cassette head rail projects it 3”.

Spacer BlocksSpacer blocks project the shading 3⁄8” from the mounting surface. Use spacer blocks to obtain clearance when obstructions, such as window cranks or door handles, obstruct the movement of the shading.

Leveling Shangri-La Sheer ShadingsShangri-La Window Shadings are leveled and weighted in the factory. When installed level, the fabric will not skew when raised. If the head rail is not installed level, skewing can occur that can damage the edge of the fabric. Be sure to follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure correct and balanced operation.

Important Measuring Guidelines for Shangri-LaComfortex accepts measurements down to 1⁄16” increments. Precise width and length measurements are critical. Fabric width cannot be altered after the shading is fabricated.Please use a metal tape measure for accuracy from home to factory.The head rail must be installed perfectly level and installed evenly to ensure smooth operation. On an inside mount, it is recommended that you check to see that the mounting surface is level and consistent. If your soffit needs to be leveled, this should be done before measuring.

Inside MountMeasure across the width of your window opening in three different places - top, middle and bottom. Measurements should be taken within the window jamb. Provide the smallest of the three measurements to Comfortex. Be exact. Comfortex will make the necessary deductions to fit the window opening.Measure the length of the window opening from the underside of the soffit to the surface of the window sill in two places - use the smallest of these two measurements.

Outside MountMeasure the exact width and length of the area to be covered. On the width, allow at least 1½” of an overlap on each side. An overlap of 3” on each side is recommended. Be sure to take into consideration any obstructions such as window trim, molding, locks and window cranks.

Side MountSide mount is not available with DoorStyles Shadings.Shangri-La may be side mounted using “L” brackets. For side mounts, follow the instructions for inside mounts. An additional ½” will be taken off the standard inside mount deduction to allow room for the “L” brackets.The maximum shading width utilizing the side mount option is 48”.

Skew Adjusting Bottom RailAfter installation, windows that are not square and level may cause the shadings to shift to one side as it rolls up, requiring adjustment of the bottom rail. If the brackets are not level it may be necessary to adjust the bottom rail weight.• To access the bottom rail weight, release the

weight clip on the bottom rail by using a flat blade screwdriver into the weight clip in the bottom rail and turn clockwise.

• Move the weight in 1” increments toward the side where the fabric is gathering.

• Secure the weight clips in position by turning them counterclockwise after making the adjustment.

Cleaning and Care Shangri-La Shadings are made from a sturdy, knitted polyester fabric which can be feather dusted or vacuumed at a low setting. Spots or stains can be lightly rubbed clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. To avoid discoloration of the material, we recommend against the use of chemical cleaners. Precautions should be taken to reduce exposure to harsh environmental elements, such as salt air. Continuous exposure to salt air through open windows and doors will accelerate fabric deterioration over time.Important: Do not clean the fabric using electrostatic wipes such as Swiffer® or Pledge Grab-It®.

Ultrasonic CleaningShangri-La Shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned. Adco OnSite Fabricare provides shading and blind cleaning services. For more information, visit www.AdcoOnSite.com. Comfortex acknowledges these cleaning methods as being safe and effective. We cannot attest to the quality of equipment or services provided by any independent cleaning facility.

Soft Tones Shadings OperationSoft Tones Shadings incorporate solid and sheer front fabrics with 5½” solid fabric vanes. By aligning the sheer or the solid portion of the fabric, you can control the amount of light that enters the room.

By using the cord loop, users can adjust the solid and sheer horizontal front fabrics and 5½” vanes to control the amount of incoming light and the view-through effect (Figure F).

Soft Tones vanes form a “U” shape when the shading is in the open position.

Please Note: When the Soft Tones Shadings is fully lowered and in the open position,the back of the fabric will hang lower than the bottom rail (Figure G).

When in the closed position, Soft Tones fabric diffuses incoming light, providing a warm glow. The vanes will be in the closed position when the shading is at its full ordered length (Figure H).

Product AttributesDue to the nature of fine woven fabrics, some minor waviness, creases, or bowing may occur. This is considered normal.

Fabric PositionsSoft Tones Shadings cord loop control provides the ability to manipulate the shading into various viewing positions. There are variations in light control when the solid and sheer horizontal front fabrics and the 5½” vanes are moved into different positions. The following can be obtained with standard shading operation when viewing the shading at eye level.• Fully private: When lowered completely, Soft Tones

provides complete privacy and softly diffused light.• Partially open: Opening Soft Tones slightly will

gradually increase the level of light and allow varying levels of view through.

• View-through when lowered: By completely opening the vanes, Soft Tones provides a softened, veiled view to the outside.

• Soft Tones can be rolled up in reverse, we do not recommend this operation. Comfortex recommends that you do not raise the shading more than 24” in the off this sill in this mode, refer to page 49 for more information.

Side by Side AlignmentWhen Soft Tones Shadings are installed side-by-side, vane alignment can be guaranteed within ¼” only if:• The shadings are the same color and ordered at the

same time.• The sum total of the widths of all shadings needing

alignment is less than 102”.• Side-by-side lineup is specified when the order is

placed.
