Here’s a scenario to consider. What if you are a retiree and you have shades over your bathtub. Do you want to have to climb into the tub every time you want to adjust them? Would you want your loved ones having to do the same thing? What if you live in a home with very high ceilings? If you look at your windows, you will notice that some of the windows are very tall too. Will you want to grab a stepladder every time you want to lower or raise the honeycomb shades? Will you want to find the extension pole that is available and then try to fit the small hook through the seemingly even smaller hole in the handle? What if you are vertically challenged and have to move the shade that is over the kitchen sink? Clearly, it is very important to make the right choice in your control system.
