Overview of Duette Blinds Operations

Two options for operating the Duette Honeycomb Blinds are available. The options are either Literise or Smartcord. Both options are safe by design. The Literise Blinds are a cordless honeycomb blind whereas the Smartcord honeycomb blind as the name suggest, uses a cord to pull the blind up and down. The cord has the ability to retract back into the head rail. This alleviates long cords that could pose a problem for children or venerable individuals. Pulling the cord allows the blind to operate and stop in the desired position. The system is practically suited for longer windows as well as where access to the window is limited.

On the other hand, the Literise system has a spring and clutch system. The combination of the two allows the blind to be pushed up or down using a handle found on the bottom of the blind to where ever one wants. The Blind stay in that position until it is moved again.
