8 Essential Colors

BL8 shades come in eight core colors that represent more than 80% of our residential sales:

White, Ivory, Cream, Sand, Light Grey, Greige, Taupe, Charcoal

These are the same solution‑dyed, fade‑resistant colors used in our premium collections—never downgraded or “budget” approximations. White is a true, crisp white; Charcoal is deep, uniform, and consistent.

Proven Continuous Cord Loop Operation

BL8 shades use our reliable SureGlide continuous cord loop system, integrating both tilt and lift into a single, smooth mechanism. The geared assembly delivers effortless operation and includes a child‑safe breakaway tassel. This is the same hardware used in our mid‑tier collections and is tested to 25,000 cycles for long‑term durability.

Custom‑Made, Not Ready‑Made

Every BL8 shade is custom‑cut to your exact width and drop in our U.S. facility. You receive a perfectly squared, ready‑to‑install shade with clean, finished edges. No trimming, no uneven cuts, no compromises—just a professional, made‑to‑measure fit.

5‑Year Warranty

Despite its accessible price point, BL8 is backed by a 5‑year warranty covering:

  • Fabric (fading, delamination)

  • Tilt/lift mechanism

  • Roller tube and hardware

It’s the same level of confidence we offer on many of our higher‑tier collections.
