Colored Lift Cord Detail [Item LCC] Very durable 100% polyester cord resists sunlight and is braided to minimize stretch and reduce friction. Available in 1.4 mm diameter only. You may request a sample of this item. The photograph below shows the three colored cords along with the two colors of lift rings and the standard white lift cord.
Your lift cord (and lift rings) should match your LINING fabric as closely as possible. If you are using white lining, order the standard white lift cord. If you are using off-white lining, order the Alabaster cord.
The Tensile Strength of this cord is 90 lbs. That means that one cord can hold 90 lbs of weight. Remember that you will always have at least two cords. This cord is STRONG! You never have to worry about it breaking. If you order 100 yards or less, you get the quantity of cord that you order in ONE PIECE. In other words, if you order 57.5 yards of lift cord, you will get one length that is 57.5 yards long. If you order more than 100 yards, you will get a 100-yard roll and another separate length for the quantity over 100 yards. Let's say you order 137 yards of cord. You will receive a 100-yard roll and another 37-yard piece. I generally throw in a few extra yards to allow for the fact that you have two pieces. A comment on those 100-yard rolls. Occasionally there is a splice within the roll. I don't unroll the cord to check for splices, but simply throw them in the box. The Hardware Calculator gives you yardage that is pretty accurate without a lot of slack. You may want to add 2-3 yards extra onto that amount rather than run out. Back to Shopping
