WCMA Standards

WCMA Standards​
​
The new WCMA standard for corded window shades comes into effect on June 1, 2024. As a result, we are making important changes to the configuration of our products. 

Woven Wood Shades, Natural Shades, and Fabric Roman Shades 
 
According to the new standard, we will not be able to ship Woven Wood Shades, Natural Shades, and Fabric Roman Shades with cord locks after June 1st. To make sure we are in full compliance with the new standard, we will stop taking new orders for cord lock shades starting April 15, 2024.   
 
We will be issuing new price grids which will go into effect April 15, 2024. The new grids will include cordless as the base control option. Updated product guides will be available in early March.
 
After April 15, 2024, we will not be able to remake malfunctioning shades with cord locks, and we will offer to either repair these shades or to replace them with cordless or clutch control. We will work with you on a case-by-case basis to determine the best outcome for your customer. 
 
All Collections 
 
We will also be introducing a new tensioner for clutch control in all our shade collections, as our current tensioner is not compliant with the new standard. We will start shipping shades with the new tensioner as soon as we have inventory, which will be before June 1, 2024.
