The present disclosure is generally directed to a covering for architectural features, which may include windows, doorways, archways, and the like, where the covering includes a panel made from a light diffusing material. The light diffusing material is designed and engineered to allow a significant amount of light to pass through the material for providing a desired visual effect while having improved dimensional stability. The covering may contain a light diffusing material that extends along a first direction of the covering (e.g., vertically). The light diffusing material may have an openness factor of about 60% or greater and contain pillars extending in the first direction and bridges extending between the pillars. Each pillar may contain at least two yarns, and each bridge may contain at least one yarn.

An architectural covering including a motor assembly is provided. The covering may include a head rail, an end cap enclosing an end of the head rail, a roller tube rotatably supported within the head rail at least partially by the end cap, and a motor assembly including a housing in splined engagement with the end cap to non-rotatably secure the motor assembly to the end cap. The motor assembly may be received at least partially within the roller tube and may be in driving engagement with the roller tube. A covering material may be attached to the roller tube such that rotation of the roller tube extends or retracts the covering material.

A covering for an architectural opening is provided. The covering may include a roller, a shade, and an assembly associated with the roller. The assembly may include a biasing element and a retention element. The biasing element may be operably associated with the roller to selectively rotate the roller. The biasing element may be preloaded. The retention element may be associated with the biasing element. The retention element may be operable to release the preload in the biasing element at an extended shade position.

A displacement controlling device comprises a shaft having a displacement region, a movable unit connected to the shaft and configured to move within the displacement region, a damper connected to one end of the shaft, and a restraint unit arranged between the movable unit and the damper, wherein the restraint unit is configured to be driven by the movable unit from a first position toward a second position; the damper outputs a resistance when the restraint unit is at the first position, and the damper stops outputting the resistance if the restraint unit is at the second position.

A blind lifting control module includes a transmitting wheel, an anti-backward unit and a driving unit disposed to a supporting unit. The transmitting wheel for connecting a blind reeled horizontal axle has ratchet portions respectively meshable with corresponding ratchet portions of an anti-backward wheel and a driving reel. A pull cord is reeled on the driving reel and has a free end passing through a thrust member and a hindering member, and is pulled to release the anti-backward wheel to permit lowering of a blind. The thrust member is turned by pulling of the pull cord to thrust the driving reel to mesh with the transmitting wheel for lifting the blind.

A covering for an architectural feature includes a woven material. The woven material is made at least partially from binder yarns to form a woven fabric. The binder yarns are heated after the fabric is woven to a temperature sufficient to cause the binder yarns to bond and fuse to adjacent yarns at crossover points. The woven material is inherently resistant to fraying and/or unraveling.

A temperature system for a window shade includes temperature sensors coupled to a side seal for the window shade. The side seal is selectively movable into and out of position relative to the window shade. The temperature sensors convey temperature information to a controller for operating the window shade and the side seal. The controller operates the window shade and the side seals based at least in part upon the temperature information.
