October is Window Covering Safety Month - Child and Pet Safe Blinds and Shades

10/10/2019

At Accent Window Fashions every month is window covering safety month, but October presents our industry with the perfect reminder of the importance of this topic of conversation. We care about the safety of our clients, their children, and their pets.

Safety is EVERYTHING

Safety is the most important consideration for homes with young children or pets. The window coverings you select should have no looped or loose pull cords, and wands should be out of your child's reach, so it's best to look for cordless or motorized window treatments.

Cordless Operating Systems
Cordless Operating Systems LiteRise® from Hunter Douglas is a great cordless option because it's easy to operate. Simply push the window covering up to raise and pull down to lower – and your blinds and shades stay right where you put them.

The LiteRise® operating system is available on many of our Hunter Douglas shades and blinds, including Silhouette® Window Shadings and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.

Motorized Lifting Systems

The inherent cordless design of motorized window coverings provides you and your family with ultimate convenience and enhanced safety at the window.


PowerView® Motorization lets you control your shades automatically with a simple push of a button, a tap on a mobile device or even with voice control if your shades are connected to a compatible smart-home system.

Using the PowerView App, you can also set an auto-schedule for your window treatments to move them to the exact position you want throughout the day. Learn more about PowerView >

Retractable cord systems
You could also opt for the UltraGlide® retractable cord system because it keeps cords at a constant length. Since there are no messy, dangling cords, UltraGlide offers a clean, polished appearance as well as enhanced child and pet safety.

The UltraGlide® operating system is available on a wide selection of our Hunter Douglas shades and blinds, including Designer Banded Shades and Design Studio™ Roman Shades.

Young Children and Window Cords Don't Mix
The window coverings industry uses warning tags, labels, and other methods to communicate the potential hazards of corded window coverings. The warning shown here, for example, communicates the important message about cords being a potential strangulation hazard and suggests choosing cordless or inaccessible-cord alternatives.
