The Changshade series is equipped with a "Free-Stop" cordless mechanism that utilizes a friction-based brake, allowing you to stop the shade at any point without needing a locking ratchet. The fabric is a three-layer polyester composite designed for total light blockage and thermal insulation. Its hydrophobic coating makes it a resilient choice for kitchens or bathrooms where steam and humidity are common, though it is intended for indoor use only. The included valance provides a clean, finished look by concealing the top roller and mounting hardware.
Specifications indicate the 35-inch width is measured from bracket to bracket, so the actual fabric will be roughly an inch narrower. For the valance to sit flush within the window frame, a depth of 2.5 inches is required. The internal spring system is designed to provide a smooth experience over many years, although the tension may eventually need a simple manual adjustment if the shade is used heavily for a long period. This unit is a reliable way to manage light and heat while maintaining a modern aesthetic.
The cordless design is compliant with safety standards, removing the risk of tangling for children and pets.
If you have much larger windows that might be difficult to reach, the Kerxwerd motorized system offers a similar level of blackout with remote-controlled operation.
