October is National Window Covering Safety Month

Consider Cordless Products

When young children are around the home, cord safety should be a key factor in selecting your window treatments.

Although all of the window fashions found in today's stores come with built-in cord-safety features that meet the latest safety standards, the Window Covering Safety Council urges parents and caregivers to only use cordless products in young children’s bedrooms and sleeping areas.

Almost every type of corded window fashion is now available in a cordless style.

Horizontal blinds and miniblinds, as well as pleated and cellular shades, are frequently transformed into cordless products through the use spring-loaded mechanisms.

Vertical blinds and draperies are most often made cordless through simple wand pulls or battery/motor-operated lift controls.

In addition, traditionally cordless styles — such as roller shades and curtain panels — can be worked into most decorating schemes to add fashion as well as safety to your windowed areas.

Below are some of the most popular cordless window treatments making their way into America’s homes. With safety and style in mind, these new products are the perfect accent to any room.
