Learning how to childproof your home is no small feat! Making sure you have everything safe and ready to go for your kids is important. Not only does childproofing keep them safe, it reduces your worry. While it can be hard to remember everything that needs to be covered, put up, or softened, evaluating your home will be helpful in the long run. And we’re here to help! We can cross one major safety hazard off of your list: Child safe window treatments.
Our Cord Free Options
Cords are one of the main safety risks when it comes to blinds and shades. To a child with a running imagination, they could look like a leash to walk stuffed animals or even a pretty necklace when they’re playing princess. Going cord-free is an easy way to eliminate this risk all together!
LiteRise is one of our cordless systems that we offer. A simple pull down or push up allows you to adjust your treatments for your ideal level of lighting and privacy.
Shutters are another stunning way to avoid cords near your windows. All it takes is a simple adjustment of the louvers to let the light in or block it out. These are also one of our more durable window treatments meaning they won’t get torn or beat up by kids playing around them.
Smart Shades and Automated Systems
One of the crowd favorites, and definitely the most convenient, way of childproofing your window treatments is with motorization. Smart shades technology gives you the capability of creating schedules to work around nap times, adjusting shades from anywhere in your home with a remote or your phone, and even setting up integration with your smart home device to use a simple voice command.
SoftTouch is another way to add motorization to your shades. This system features a wand that allows for opening and closing the window treatments as opposed to a cord. Even better, it is only attached to the header by a magnet, so if your child pulls too hard it will detach!
How to Childproof with Child Safe Cord Options
That’s right, if you prefer the classic cords, we have a few options that are corded and still safe to have around kids.
The continuous cord loop option attaches directly to the window frame. This means that there won’t be any loose cords for children to play with.
UltraGlide is our other childproof option with cords. This system features a retractable cord. To open and close the shades you pull on the cord, and then it will return to it’s shorter length once you’re done adjusting.
