Transitional Shades Go from absolute privacy to softly filtered light or full on sunlight in just a matter of seconds. These transitions of light are created with dual layers of horizontal fabric segments alternating between sheer and semi-opaque or opaque fabric. Allure Sundown速 Transitional Shades are a perfect example of brilliant function and great personality! Pair your Allure Transitional Shades with a complementary or contrasting hue of Sundown room- darkening fabrics to transform your shades from light-filtering to total room-darkening.
This is truly two shades in one! An Allure Transitional Shade to the room side and a Genesis privacy shade to the street side gives optimal light control. The fabric covered valance in the Allure material helps conceal the two individual lift systems. The privacy shade features the EZ-Lift system for smooth operation.
Modernaire This cassette free option offers the contemporary European style headrail with any of the Allure fabrics. The white headrail is turned to accomodate either an inside mount or outside mount.
Visionaire Four Allure fabrics are offered with this unique vertical shade. The shade lowers down from the headrail and then slides horizontally to open or close the vanes for a stunning window or patio door application. Vanes can be adjusted from side to side at any shade height.

CHILD SAFETY child safety is serious business
It’s your first priority, but child and pet safety is often the last thing you think about when choosing window treatments. That’s why the window coverings industry uses warning tags, warning labels, and other methods to communicate the potential hazards of corded window coverings. Together with the Window Coverings Safety Council we encourage you to install only cordless window coverings in rooms where young children play and sleep. All Roman shades come standard with the TLC1 cord sleeve which eliminates dangerous cord loops from forming on the back of the shades. Also available is Lafayette’s CareRING2 Cordless Control Lifting System. Just reach for the ring on the bottom of the shade to operate. No dangling cords!
