Overview of Duette Blinds Operations

Two options for operating the Duette Honeycomb Blinds are available. Either Literise® or Smartcord. Both options are safe by design.

The Literise® system is a completely cordless system. The system simply raises or lowers the blind by moving the bottom rail. In addition, 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. Effectively, the blind stays in that position until it is moved again.

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 Smartcord system is practically suited for longer windows as well as where access to the window is limited. Consequently, the Smartcord honeycomb system operates as a free-hanging option with a cord.
