Centurion Roman Shade is pleased to offer a "Cordless Manual Lift" Roman Shade kit. The following shade styles can be made with the Centurion Roman Shade Widget kits: Flat Roman, Relaxed Roman, Hobbled Roman, Top Down/Bottom Up, Day/Night, Arched Top, and curved.  Plus you can included features such as trims, banding, valance, reverse mount, ribs, integrated returns, cascade or waterfall stack, shaped bottom hem, and many more. If you can design it, you can probably build it with the Widget!

Cordless lift, child safe window shades and blinds are now required by law, so cord safety is a primary factor when choosing the correct product for your windows. There are guidelines and community advocate groups to help educate about the potential risk associated with cords (see our links). Most countries have laws around the manufacturing of safe window treatments to minimize the danger. Consumer awareness is also critical in creating a safe environment in a home or business.

The Centurion Roman Shade "Widget" offers fabricators several advantages that make it an economical and versatile choice:
  • Lower price point — ships economically
  • Simple mounting to a 1x2 wood mount board or batten (minimum 1.5" mounting depth)
  • Minimal additional parts needed — most sourced at your local hardware store
  • Utilizes traditional Roman shade fabrication methods
  • Upgraded for safety, new regulations, and ease of installation
  • Most styles and features possible with a single system

We support our fabricators with ongoing education and a variety of ways to stay connected with our community:
  • Step-by-step tutorials for a variety of shade styles and features on our YouTube channel
  • Weekly Blog posts on this site
  • Bi-weekly Newsletter
  • Monthly Widget World Wednesday Zoom calls, open to all
  • Stay subscribed to get the latest news, education, and events


About The Product...

Centurion Roman Shade offers a pre-loaded, pre-strung modular system for building (or retrofitting) a Roman Shade. The coil-spring powered Widget is available in two-, three-, or four-cord module kits, and the module quickly attaches to the underside of a simple wood mount board that the fabricator provides along with fabric and a weight bar.
 
You can build a nearly limitless array of Roman Shade styles, and do not need to commit to a window width dimension to order and use the Widget in your construction. You can use it for most Roman shade styles. Each kit weighs less than 1 lb., ships Priority Flat Rate in the US and is inexpensive to ship Parcel Post or UPS to Canada and Parcel Post internationally.

This modular system is a smart, budget-friendly choice for creating a traditional Roman shade with modern, child safe features. In addition to it being cordless for the manual lift process, you can fabricate Roman Shades without ordering and paying to ship custom window-width parts.

The CenturionRS Widget Kits are in stock and normally ship Priority Mail or UPS within 1 Business Day. Fabric weight, lining weight, embellishments and style of treatment will all have an effect on how your shade operates.  Please refer to the product specifications to determine the appropriate Widget(s) for your Roman Shade, or Contact Us if you're not sure! 

Please use the links below to order the Widget Kit from our Shopify page

Each Widget Kit contains:
  - 1 Widget (2-cord, 3-cord or 4-cord) with mounting screws

  - Brass rings and screw eyes for each cord
  - 90" Ladder Tape for each cord
​  - Hem Grip(s)

Please choose the correct Widget kits from the three options below. You can combine Widgets for wider shades. The maximum recommended shade length is 84” but the cord does come longer for lateral distance
