CORDLESS: THE WINDOW TREATMENTS OF THE FUTURE

Posted on by Matt Schwegman

Everyone loves a FREE giveaway, right?!  Well, we’ll get to that part 😉.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission has listed window blinds amongst the top five hidden hazards in U.S. homes.  Why you ask?  Cords.  Cords pose an entanglement and strangulation hazard in households with small children and/or pets.  The Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) recommends that only cordless window coverings or window coverings with inaccessible cords be used in homes with young children.

So what are some good cordless window treatment solutions? You’d be surprised that almost every style of blind or shade now comes with a cordless option!  From Cellular to Wood, Roman to Roller, most all have cordless solutions.  Some even offer cordless options that are top down, bottom up for unique privacy/light filtering solutions.

Cordless solutions are best suited for blinds or shades with widths of 18” to 96” and heights from 8” to 84”.  For larger windows, we highly recommend motorization as it allows full functionality for those tall or hard to reach windows.

 

Extra benefits of going cordless:

  • Eliminate unsightly dangling cords
  • Provide a sleek and sophisticated look
  • Operation is simple and easy
  • Cords won’t tangle, fray, jam or break
  • Window treatments stay in place with hidden lift system
  • Options like motorization add convenience
  • Most importantly, they are a safe choice for your home!
