As of April 8th, all Cordless Natural Roller Shades with a cassette top treatment will ship automatically with an attached hem clip.

The clips are made of white, flexible plastic that keeps the hem bar securely in place during transit, preventing it from rolling back into the cassette. The clip must be removed before installation.

See the video below for a demonstration of how to remove the hem clip.

We’re excited to announce that beginning January 27, 2026, all Top-Down Bottom-Up (TDBU) Natural Shade orders will include a Top Bar Grip designed to improve comfort and control during everyday operation.

The Top Bar Grip ships in two pieces and installs effortlessly on the top rail, accommodating a wide range of fabric thicknesses.

With its integrated handle, the Top Bar Grip allows the shade to be easily lifted or lowered by hand, and for tall windows, it can be paired with a Lift Assist Pole (sold separately) for added reach and convenience.
​
Please note that the Top Bar Grip is designed specifically for Natural TDBU shades and is not compatible with Fabric Roman TDBU shades.
