01Alta · HONEYCOMB SHADES
Honeycomb Shades
Soft light. Thoughtful privacy. Year-round comfort.
Alta Honeycomb Shades, also called cellular shades, combine a softly folded fabric face with a cellular shape that helps insulate the window. Choose the texture and light control that suit each room, with options for adjusting privacy from the top or bottom. For your Boise-area home, start with how you want the room to feel—not a long list of features.

Designed around the way you live
What makes Honeycomb Shades different?
An insulating cellular design
The honeycomb construction helps insulate the window for comfort through warm summers and cool winters. Actual results depend on your windows, fabric and shade configuration.
Light chosen room by room
A range of fabric opacities lets you choose filtered daylight or a darker room. Fabric, fit and mounting affect the final result; blackout fabric is not a promise of complete darkness.
More flexible privacy
An optional top-down / bottom-up configuration lets you lower the shade from above or raise it from below, giving you more ways to balance light and coverage.
A coordinated look for more openings
Alta offers a side-opening vertical application for sliding doors, plus specialty-shape options. Explore which configurations suit your home without assuming every option fits every window.
A strong fit forBoise and Treasure Valley homeowners who want soft fabric texture, insulating window coverage and room-specific light control. A thoughtful choice to explore for living areas, bedrooms and homes with sliding doors that need a coordinated shade style.
The defining differenceA cellular fabric design with both conventional window and side-opening vertical applications, plus optional top-down / bottom-up privacy control.
Honeycomb Shades questions, answered
Can Alta Honeycomb Shades make a bedroom darker?
Yes. Alta lists blackout fabrics among its Honeycomb options. Ask about the fabric and installation together: light can still enter around the edges, so blackout fabric alone should not be described as complete room darkness. Alta also lists a Privacy Light Block option for inside-mount installations only, to add privacy and room dimming.
Can I lower Honeycomb Shades from the top for privacy?
Alta offers an optional top-down / bottom-up configuration that operates from either end for more light-control and privacy choices. It is not standard on every Honeycomb shade. Confirm the available fabric and control combination for your windows during consultation.
Are Alta Honeycomb Shades available for sliding glass doors?
Yes. Alta offers a vertical Honeycomb application that opens from side to side for sliding glass doors. It is offered with light-filtering or blackout fabrics. Confirm the configuration for your opening and how the shade will work with your door access.
Can Alta Honeycomb Shades be motorized?
Alta lists BLISS Automation, Somfy Automation and PowerWand powered control for Honeycomb Shades. The right choice depends on the shade configuration and the way you want to operate it. Confirm the motor, power source and any required accessories before selecting app or voice control; those functions should not be assumed for every powered option.

02Alta · Roller Shades
Roller Shades
A clean look. Light control that fits your room.
Alta Roller Shades use a single panel of fabric that rolls up neatly at the top of your window. Choose a fabric that softens daylight or offers greater light blocking, then tailor the finish to your home. For Boise living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces, they offer a straightforward way to balance the look you love with the light you want.
Explore Alta Roller Shades
Designed around the way you live
What makes Roller Shades different?
Choose your level of light
Compare fabric opacities for gentle daylight or greater light blocking. The selected fabric and window fit determine privacy and darkness.
Bring texture into a simple shape
Earthy textures, soft neutrals, and richer colors let a clean-lined shade complement your furnishings rather than compete with them.
Finish the top your way
A square or curved cassette, fascia, or cornice can give the window a tailored finish. Confirm the options available for your shade.
Make daily adjustment comfortable
Consider a hand-operated cordless lift or a motorized option for the way you use the room. The selected shade configuration determines which controls are available.
A strong fit forHomeowners who prefer a simple, uncluttered window treatment and want to choose light control room by room. A strong fit for living areas, dining rooms, and bedrooms when the fabric, mounting, and controls are chosen for that space.
The defining differenceOne clean fabric panel, with choices in opacity, roll direction, top treatment, and operation that can change how the shade looks and works in your room.
Roller Shades questions, answered
Will Alta Roller Shades make my bedroom completely dark?
Blackout fabric provides greater light blocking, but light can still enter around the shade. Alta offers Privacy Light Block for inside-mounted shades and side and bottom channels to address edge light. Confirm the fabric, mount, and compatible options for your window; blackout fabric alone is not a promise of complete darkness.
Can Alta Roller Shades be cordless or motorized?
Alta lists Cordless Lift, TouchLift, BLISS, Somfy, and PowerWand among its roller-shade controls. TouchLift raises after a slight bottomrail pull and lowers manually; PowerWand provides rechargeable, button-operated movement. Confirm the available control for your chosen shade, and verify any app, voice, or smart-home integration before ordering.
What is the difference between regular roll and reverse roll?
Regular roll brings the fabric down closer to the glass, which helps reduce light gaps. Reverse roll brings the fabric forward to conceal the roll and roller mechanism. Alta also lists cassette, fascia, and cornice finishes. Confirm the combination that suits your window and selected shade; neither roll direction alone eliminates edge light.
Can I coordinate roller shades with a sliding-door treatment?
Alta offers related Panel Track shades that glide side to side across sliding doors or wide windows and can coordinate with roller-shade fabrics. Panel Track is a separate treatment. Confirm the fabric pairing, stacking direction, and space needed around your door so the two treatments work together.

03Alta · SOFT FABRIC. ADJUSTABLE LIGHT.
Sheer Shadings
Soft daylight, with a view you can adjust.
Alta Sheer Shadings place fabric vanes between two sheer panels, combining the soft look of a sheer with the light control of a blind. Tilt the vanes to balance daylight, your view, and privacy. For a Boise living room or dining space, they offer a tailored fabric finish without giving up everyday adjustability.
Discuss Sheer Shadings for Your Home
Instead of choosing between a fixed sheer and a traditional blind, you can adjust the fabric vanes as your room’s needs change. The sheer panels soften incoming daylight; closing the vanes is the next step when you want less light or more privacy. Choose the fabric and configuration for the room—sheer shadings should not be assumed to provide blackout or complete privacy in every setting.
Designed around the way you live
What makes Sheer Shadings different?
Soften incoming daylight
Sheer panels diffuse natural light for a softer appearance in the rooms where you read, relax, and gather.
Adjust the view and light
Tilt the fabric vanes to change how much daylight enters and how open the window feels, without treating the shading as simply open or closed.
Keep the layered look visually smooth
Alta designs its fabrics to avoid moiré—the wavy visual pattern that can appear when sheer layers overlap.
Coordinate the window’s proportions and finish
Compare three listed vane styles and an optional fabric-covered headrail to find a look that suits your windows and furnishings. Confirm the available combination during consultation.
A strong fit forLiving rooms, dining rooms, and sitting areas where you want diffused daylight, an adjustable view, and the softness of fabric. If a bedroom needs a very dark sleeping environment, make that requirement part of the comparison rather than assuming a sheer shading will deliver blackout.
The defining differenceFabric vanes suspended between two sheer panels give this collection its combination of a soft layered finish and adjustable light control.
Sheer Shadings questions, answered
What are Alta Sheer Shadings?
Alta Sheer Shadings have fabric vanes suspended between two sheer panels. The panels soften daylight, while the vanes tilt to adjust incoming light and your view. They combine the soft appearance of a sheer with the adjustable function of a blind.
Do sheer shadings provide privacy or blackout?
Tilt the vanes closed when you want more privacy or less incoming light. Do not assume sheer shadings provide blackout or complete privacy in every setting. Review the fabric, fit, and your room’s daytime and nighttime privacy needs during consultation, especially for bedrooms or street-facing windows.
Can Alta Sheer Shadings be cordless or motorized?
Alta lists Cordless Lift, BLISS Automation, Somfy® Automation, and PowerWand™ among the control choices. Cordless Lift operates from the bottomrail; rechargeable PowerWand raises and lowers the shading by button. Confirm the controls available for your chosen configuration, and verify app, voice, or smart-home requirements rather than assuming compatibility.
What choices help sheer shadings suit different windows?
Alta lists 2-inch, 2½-inch, and 3-inch vane styles, an optional fabric-covered headrail, and Tilt Only for narrow windows and sidelights. The Two-On-One Headrail option combines two independently operated shades under a shared headrail. Confirm dimensions, fabric, and control suitability for each opening during consultation.

04Alta · Faux Wood Blinds
Faux Wood Blinds
The warmth of wood. A practical finish for everyday rooms.
Alta faux wood blinds bring a wood-inspired look to your windows with durable engineered-polymer slats. Choose a smooth neutral finish or a printed wood grain, then adjust the slats to suit the daylight. For Boise homeowners who want a tailored look in hardworking rooms, moisture resistance makes this a thoughtful option to explore.

Designed around the way you live
What makes Faux Wood Blinds different?
A finish that feels at home
Smooth neutrals complement painted trim, while printed wood grains add warmth without using real-wood slats.
Practical for hardworking rooms
Moisture-resistant engineered-polymer slats are worth considering for kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms. Confirm the room’s exposure conditions before choosing.
Daylight you can adjust
Choose wand tilt to change the slat angle with a simple twist, rather than raising the entire blind each time you want to adjust the light.
A coordinated look for wider windows
The optional Two-on-One Headrail keeps two independently operated blinds beneath one continuous headrail for a uniform finish.
A strong fit forBoise-area homeowners who like the familiar look of horizontal wood blinds but prefer engineered-polymer slats. A strong option to discuss for kitchens and laundry rooms, bathrooms with suitable exposure conditions, or wider windows where separate operation would be useful.
The defining differenceWood-inspired finish choices paired with moisture-resistant engineered-polymer slats and optional independently operated blinds on a shared headrail.
Faux Wood Blinds questions, answered
What are Alta faux wood blinds made from?
Alta faux wood blinds use durable engineered-polymer slats rather than real wood. The finish range includes smooth neutral colors and premium printed wood grains for a wood-inspired appearance. Confirm the available finishes for your selected configuration.
Are Alta faux wood blinds suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
Their moisture-resistant slats make them an option to discuss for kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms. They are not waterproof, and Alta’s warranty excludes certain damage from water, high humidity and other environmental exposure. The right fit depends on conditions at the window.
How do the cordless controls work?
Cordless Lift moves with a push or pull of the bottom rail. Cordless Lift & Lock™ uses a button: press to move the blind and release to hold it. Alta also lists Cordless XL for longer, wider blinds, available with wand tilt only. Confirm which control fits your window and selected blind.
Can I operate each side of a wider window separately?
Alta’s optional Two-on-One Headrail places two blinds on one continuous headrail, with each blind operating independently. It can create a coordinated look while allowing separate operation. Confirm that the configuration suits your window before ordering.

05Alta · EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE
Motorization
A simpler way to adjust your windows
Motorization brings everyday convenience to the window treatments you choose. Adjust compatible Alta shades or blind slats with a handheld remote, or explore app control and connected-home options. For your Boise home, start with the rooms you use most and the controls you find comfortable—not technology you do not need.
Discuss Motorization for Your Home
Designed around the way you live
What makes Motorization different?
Adjust without reaching the window
A handheld remote lets you change compatible shades or blind slats from a comfortable spot in the room.
Bring several windows together
BLISS® Automation 2.0 lets you assign up to 10 window coverings to one remote across five configurable groups, with an all-assigned-shades group as well.
Set a routine that suits your day
Save shade positions as scenes in the BLISS 2.0 app, then schedule them for a set time or local sunrise or sunset. Location permission is required for sunrise and sunset schedules.
Add connected control when it is useful
A BLISS 2.0 Bridge adds away-from-home app access and Matter integration with compatible Apple Home, Google Home, or Amazon Alexa setups. Required hardware and setup should be confirmed before ordering.
A strong fit forHomeowners who adjust several windows daily, have windows that are awkward to reach, or want selected rooms to follow a familiar morning and evening routine.
The defining differenceAlta offers BLISS® Automation and Somfy® Automation. The right system depends on the window treatment, the controls you prefer, and any existing smart-home equipment.
Motorization questions, answered
Which Alta window treatments can be motorized?
Alta lists honeycomb shades, roller shades, sheer shadings, and faux wood blinds among its motorized product families. The exact treatment, configuration, and control system need to be confirmed. For BLISS 2.0 wood and faux wood blinds, the manufacturer guide describes motorized slat tilt rather than motorized lifting.
Do I need a smartphone every time I adjust my shades?
No. After setup, a BLISS 2.0 handheld remote controls assigned window coverings directly. The Alta app and an account are used for setup and remote-group programming. Remote range depends on the room and obstructions, and Alta recommends using the remote or the app one at a time rather than issuing commands from both simultaneously.
Can Alta shades work with voice control or be adjusted while I am away?
BLISS 2.0 can add away-from-home app access with a BLISS Bridge. Its Matter integration supports compatible Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa setups for connected control. A bridge with current firmware, the current Alta app, and any requirements of your smart-home platform are needed. Confirm your equipment before choosing a system.
Can I schedule my shades to open in the morning and close in the evening?
Yes. The BLISS 2.0 app lets you save positions as scenes and schedule them for particular days and times or local sunrise and sunset. Sunrise and sunset schedules require location permission. Homes without a bridge must open the app periodically to keep shade schedules synchronized; a bridge regularly updates shade clocks.

How should I clean my Alta shades or blinds?
