Window Treatments, Blinds, Shades & Shutters for Child Safety
Because October is Child Safety Month, it’s a great time to look at the recent trends in window treatments that have enhanced child safety features. Many consumers don’t think about window treatments as being a hazard to children or pets. However, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, window coverings with dangling cords are among the top five hidden hazards in American homes. Ross Howard Designs is a Hunter Douglas dealer serving the Dallas area. Hunter Douglas, the leader in child and pet safety in window treatments, has added numerous options for window treatment operations, from new features on traditional operations, to cordless options that help make your home safe from potential hazards.
The Variety of Options for Child-Safe Window Treatments
Nearly all Hunter Douglas window coverings can be operated with a cordless feature or can be motorized. Some choices are the Simplelift™ system, with which the bottom rail is used to raise and lower shades. You can find this system on Applause® Honeycomb Shades. Another option is Vertiglide™, for side-to-side operation. You can find this system on products like Applause® & Duette® Honeycomb Shades or Vignette® Modern Roman Shades. The LiteRise® system allows you to easily raise and lower window treatments without cords. This system is available on numerous products, including EverWood® Collection Alternative Wood Blinds, Modern Precious Metals® & Natural Elements™ Aluminum Blinds, Nantucket™ & Silhouette® Window Shadings, Parkland™ Wood Blinds, Solera™ Soft Shades, and Vignette® Modern Roman Shades. The Clutch Lifting System uses a spring-like clutch to control screen shades and roller shades. The Ultraglide® system is a retractable pull cord, found on treatments such as Designer Studio™ Roman Shades, Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Nantucket™ & Silhouette® Window Shadings, and Pirouette® Window Shadings, among others.
Motorized Blinds & Shades Options
With motorization, you control the shades by remote, wireless wall switch, or mobile device. Products that can be motorized include Applause® & Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Designer Roller or Screen Shades, EverWood® Collection Alternative Wood Blinds, Luminette® Privacy Sheers & Modern Draperies, Pirouette™ Window Shadings, and more.
Custom Shutters
Cordless and inherently safe by design, the Hunter Douglas shutter collection eliminates the potential safety hazards that traditional corded window treatments pose. These products are will add beauty to any room, and they’ll be safe for kids and pets.
