SureGlide Cord Loop Shades
Heavy‑Duty Geared Mechanism
Continuous cord loop systems transfer torque through a precision‑cut metal gearbox, not a simple spring clutch. This allows the mechanism to handle fabric weights up to 25 pounds—sufficient for shades up to 144 inches wide or blackout fabrics exceeding 12 feet in drop. The gearing also provides a mechanical advantage: raising a heavy shade requires 40% less effort than a standard cord clutch. Internal components are lubricated for life and tested to 10,000 cycles.
Child Safety First
Traditional continuous loop cords can form a hazardous loop if not properly tensioned. Our SureGlide system incorporates a breakaway tassel that meets all CPSC safety standards. If a child becomes entangled, the tassel separates under 5 pounds of force, releasing the loop and eliminating strangulation risk. The tassel snaps back together easily; no tools or replacement parts needed. For maximum safety in nurseries and daycare centers, we also offer a tension device that mounts to the wall or sill, holding the cord taut and out of reach.
Ideal for Wide Spans & Sliding Doors
Cordless mechanisms rely on spring tension, which becomes inconsistent on shades wider than 72 inches. Continuous cord loop delivers uniform lift force regardless of width, making it the preferred choice for sliding glass doors, French doors, and oversized windows. The loop hangs neatly to one side, where it can be anchored with a cleat. Unlike motorized systems, there are no batteries to charge or apps to configure—just simple, reliable mechanical operation.
Quiet, Smooth Operation
The SureGlide gear train is engineered for acoustic comfort. Nylon‑on‑nylon contact surfaces minimize the grinding noise common in economy cord loops. A built‑in friction brake holds the shade at any position without slipping, even on steeply angled installations. The loop itself is woven from durable polyester and resists fraying; available in white, grey, or clear to blend with your decor.
