Affords an effective and attractive shading solution for angled windows, and prevents shade fabric from swaying due to air movement.
The Crestron® CS-SHADE-ROLLER-CABLEGUIDED is an optional accessory for Crestron QMT5 Series Architectural and Decor shade hardware (CSS-ARCH5 and CSS-DECOR5). As part of a complete engineered shading solution, it provides a cable-guided tracking solution to prevent the shade fabric from swaying and allow for installation on angled windows. It is compatible with inside, outside, and pocket mounted roller shades up to approximately 10ft (3m) wide or 10ft (3m) long, and accommodates windows pitched inwardly or outwardly at up to 20° from vertical.
The cable-guided option employs a pair of tensioned steel cables running vertically at either side of the shade fabric. A specially weighted hembar with slotted end caps glides up and down the cables as the shade is raised and lowered. Small decorative anchors attach the cables at the bottom to the windowsill, window jamb, or floor. Precision brackets or blocks mount at the top to the window header, window jamb, or ceiling. Adjustable cable fittings allow for proper tensioning of each cable to ensure smooth travel and minimal sag.
