Reduce the Danger
Did you know that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has ranked corded window treatments as a top hidden danger to children? Curious toddlers or rolling infants can get caught in dangling cords, which is a strangulation risk that can happen in a matter of seconds. If you have window fashions that are corded, be sure to reduce the risk by moving beds, cribs, other furniture, and toys away from windows and by keeping the cords out of reach by cutting them short or tying them up. You can also order a retrofit kit from the Window Covering Safety Council at https://windowcoverings.org/retrofit-your-windows/.
Or Get New Cordless Treatments
Hunter Douglas offers numerous operating systems that cordless or even motorized, including LiteRise®, wand control, Vertiglide™, Ultraglide®, and PowerView® Automation. The products below (and more) are available in these systems, so be sure to speak with one of our consultants to see these combinations in action.
- Designer Roller Shades are available in a number of different fabrics that come in a variety of colors and textures, so they can fit with nearly any décor. They offer simple functionality and clean lines, so they’re a good choice for almost any room in the house.
- Duette® Cellular Shades have honeycomb construction, so they can help insulate at the window, keeping inside air in and outside air out. They’re also good for sound absorption and light control.
- Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are made from reeds, woods, grasses, and bamboo, which will let you bring a touch of nature into your space. They filter light beautifully, and, if you need more light control, they’re available with a liner, which also helps control privacy.
- Custom shutters. Created cordless from the get-go, the Hunter Douglas shutter collection is safe by design.
