Roman shades with the Aerolite Cordless System operate entirely without any pull cords, eyelets or metal bars. Instead, they use an ingenious construction method consisting of fabric layers which allows for a smooth, cordless operating experience. Plus, several fabric types are available so users can select their preferred degree of privacy. Aerolite also increases home safety by doing away with cords so children and pets are not at risk of getting tangled up in them.
