Playing It Safe with Your Window Coverings

As a family owned business with children ourselves, safety is a top priority for all the window covering products we sell. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, window coverings with dangling cords are among the top five hidden hazards in American homes.

Window covering safety has come a long way in the past few decades. Today, most window covering styles have child-safe operating systems. Here at Ross Howard Designs, we have many cordless options for your blinds and shades. Hunter Douglas window treatments, the leader in child and pet safety, has added numerous improvements to traditional window treatment operations, as well as providing cordless options to make your home safe from potential hazards.
