diffuses incoming light, reducing both direct and indirect glare while maintaining
transparency and preserving the view. With exceptional durability, resilience and
longevity, Halcyon embossed shades in a Honeycomb pattern are available in a
variety of color and shading combinations.

SheerWeave®
Simply Stylish. SheerWeave shades contain filtering qualities that diffuse
light, reduce glare and help control solar heat gain to make any room more
comfortable. The openness of the SheerWeave fabrics refers to the weave or
mesh structure and determines the amount of heat and light entering a room.
SheerWeave is available in a variety of weaves and a broad range of colors and
fabrications, all of which meet or exceed flame retardancy and bacteria/fungal
resistancy requirements.

motorized
systems
Comfortably Controlled. Halcyon Shades offer easy to use motorized remote
control options that add push-button flexibility to natural light management. The
problem-free remote control does not require special wiring and allows window
coverings to be operated individually or in groups from a single button.
Because the motors are small and wireless, they are concealed within the window
covering, maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Privacy, protection from heat
gain/loss and controlled light are available at the touch of a button.

Transparent Metallized PET
(Provides Heat/Energy/Glare Rejection)
Polyester shade material structure consists of a micro thin layer of
metal bonded with a strong laminating adhesive to provide
exceptional reflective properties for the best solar solution. Using
a precise vacuum coating process, the shade material is given the
light and heat-reflecting properties of metal.
Quality Testing: All Halcyon Shades are custom made to fit your windows and
individually tested before shipment to ensure they meet the highest standards.

ASTM Energy Performance Testing results from an independent lab certified by the NFRC (National
Fenestration Rating Council) are outstanding and provide vital information on energy savings. Shades
used in tests were RS2G – Grey/Silver with Side Rails
*Reduce energy costs up to 15% if shades are down during noon to evening heat and side rails are used on the single pane window and
up to 10% savings on a dual pane window. The tests indicate insulation performance is 27% better with Halcyon Shades and Total Solar

configurations
Customized to Perform. Halcyon Shades are designed to meet individual
customer needs in performance, form and function. Customized features
include the various configurations shown here. Should there be different
requirements, the company is committed to working with customers to
offer solutions.
HALCYON SHADES
12
Tapered Shade – This configuration allows for windows with a
different top angle to bottom angle. The bottom portion of the
shade must always be smaller than the top of the shade.
Regular Roll
Reverse Roll
Two-On-One Cassette – Two shades that open and close independently,
sharing the same cassette. An option for side-by-side windows or wide
windows where individual operations are preferred.
Vinyl Roller Shade for light filtering
and room darkening. Exposed roller
and clutch. Available in solids: White,
Black, Antique White and two-color
Black/White (White or Black facing in
or out—specify on order). Weight bar
and chain in White and Black.
Regular Roll or Reverse Roll – This describes how a shade’s
material rolls off the top of the roller. Regular Roll allows the
material to roll down from the rear of the shade. For a Reverse
Roll, the material will roll over the front of the shade and is
used if there is an obstacle in the window such as a crank
handle. Regular Roll is standard unless requested.
PRICING
All shades are custom made to specifications. Simply fax,
email, phone or mail the order form for a price quote. Contact
an authorized Halcyon Shades Dealer to find out more
information and to receive an estimate.
MAINTENANCE
There are no service-oriented parts supplied with the shade.
Adjustment or repair should only be performed by the
professional installer. Complete maintenance instructions are
included with each shade.
CLEANING
Operate the shade daily. The up and down movement will
“shake off” most dust preventing build-up. Fingerprints and
most smudges, spots or greasy residue are easily removed with
a mild detergent diluted with water. Shades may be cleaned as
they hang in place.
CHILD SAFETY
Young children can strangle in cord and bead chain loops. They
can also wrap cords around their necks and strangle.
Always keep cords and bead chains out of children's reach.
Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords and
bead chains. Children can climb furniture to get to cords.
Attach tension device to wall or floor. This can prevent children
from pulling cords and bead chains around their necks.
