PRODUCT INFORMATION MANUAL
SECTION: 12 LUMINETTE PRIVACY SHEERS
Control Placement
•
Combination Wand/Cord: sheers stack on same side as wand/cord; for split stack, choose left or right control.
•
Travelling Wand: sheers stack on side opposite wand; available with face mount side stack only.
•
PowerView: sheers stack on same side as motor; for split stack, choose left or right motor.
Softrak™ System
•
An exclusive system that is reliable and easy to
operate.
•
Scissors expand when the sheer is drawn closed and
compress when the sheer is drawn open.
•
Vane realignment is easy — rotate the vanes first to
one side and then the other.
•
The Traveling Wand™ system is a cordless wand
control system that traverses the fabric and rotates
the vanes.
•
With the Combination Wand/Cord system, pull the
cord to traverse the fabric, and twist the wand to
rotate the vanes. Use two hands to avoid twisting the
cord.
Tenting
•
When sheers are stacked, it is normal for them
to flare out or “tent” at the bottom, or to stack
irregularly due to the heavier fabric.
•
To minimize tenting, the consumer can simply
close the sheer less tightly.
Tiltback
•
Additional weight of the face fabric in front
causes the sheer to hang at a slight angle, called
“tiltback”. This is an inherent characteristic of the
product and may be more noticeable on shorter
panels.

Privacy Sheers - Product Details
Vane Closure Gap
•
Closed Privacy Sheers vanes are designed to overlap for privacy when viewed straight on.
•
Light leakage may occur due to the vane closure gap, which may increase with the length of the sheer.
•
The vane closure gap is most visible when viewed from the side. It is a normal, inherent characteristic of the product and should not
be considered a defect.
•
Vane closure is tighter in one direction than the other when the vanes are rotated closed.
Split Stack Centre Gap
•
The maximum distance between fabric panels of a split stack design is 6mm.
