Best Cord Loop for Window Shades (Cellular, Honeycomb, Roman, Roller) - 3ft Loop in Off White (K35)

When it comes to choosing the right size cord loop replacement for window shades, it's essential to consider the specific requirements of your clutch and shade. The continuous cord loop is commonly used on various shade types, including Cellular, Honeycomb, Pleated, Silhouette, Roman, Woven Wood, and Zebra Shades.

The D30 Cord Loop is designed for smaller clutches and lighter shades, with a thinner diameter of 2.7mm (D30). This popular loop is a great choice for those looking for a more subtle and discreet option. In contrast, the K35 Cord Loop is a little thicker at 3.4mm, making it suitable for larger shades and clutches. The increased thickness allows the K35 loop to grab the gears of the clutch tighter, providing higher tensile strength and the ability to lift heavier weights.

If you're unsure about the size or thickness of your current cord, follow this general guide: - If the clutch is small and the shade is small and light, opt for the D30 loop. - If the clutch is large and the shade is large and heavy, the K35 loop is the better choice.

It's worth noting that the C30 cord loop, which was the thickest of the three, has been discontinued and replaced by the K35 loop.

When your clutch is used and old, the gears may become worn, and a thicker cord can help it grip and lift better. If your cord keeps skipping when you raise the shade, the K35 loop is the solution, as it provides a tighter grip.

The continuous cord loop is available in a range of drop loop sizes, including 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft. Longer loops can be special ordered, and the linear length will be double the loop length (e.g., a 3 ft loop has a 6 ft linear length).

The cord loops are compatible with a wide range of major brands, including Hunter Douglas (Silhouette, Pirouette, Vignette, Duette, Applause, Banded), Rollease, Alta, Levolor, Kirsch, Graber Crystal Pleat, Bali, Comfortex, Turnils, Budget Blinds, 3DaysBlind, Kathy Ireland, Smith & Noble, and The Shade Store, among others.

It's important to note that while you can use the K35 loop in a small clutch, it may feel "tighter" when pulling the cord. However, it's not recommended to use the thinner D30 loop in a large clutch, as it may not work properly and could potentially skip.

In summary, the D30 and K35 cord loops offer distinct advantages based on the size and weight of your clutch and shade. By selecting the appropriate loop, you can ensure smooth, reliable operation and extended lifespan for your window coverings. Remember, the D30 is suitable for smaller clutches and lighter shades, while the K35 is the better choice for larger clutches and heavier shades.
