Now you can control Mother Nature!

    Whether skies are bright and sunny, or dark and overcast, the new SOS Doubles window treatment adapts to changing weather conditions with two separate shade options, accessed at the mere touch of a button or pull of a bead chain. The unique two-in-one SOS Doubles window treatment is now available to the dealer market.

    A marriage of form and function, the two separate shades are contained in a single cassette. This revolutionary material is inherently flame retardant, highly energy efficient and solar reflective. Unlike other shade materials, it is also PVC/toxic emission free. And, SOS Doubles are available in custom sizes ranging from a minimum of 20” wide and 16” long to a maximum of 120” wide and 120” long.

    This exciting new energy efficient product essentially offers two window shades in one. The unique SOS Doubles design allows customers to switch between translucent and opaque shades as their needs dictate within the same window covering.
