Best Custom Window Treatments for Child Safety
As your little one grows, they’ll follow their natural curiosities and explore more and more widely around your home. And while you’ve baby-proofed many things, what about your window treatments? Custom Blind & Shade LLC, a Hunter Douglas dealer in Windham, New Hampshire, knows how important it is to have child-safe window treatments. Here, we’ll discuss what makes custom window treatments kid-friendly so you can make informed choices for your family home.
Cordless Window Coverings
The biggest concern is leaving cords within reach. Blinds and shades with long operating cords pose a potential health hazard for young children (and even pets). While selecting new products, examine the cord-free systems first. Benefits of cordless window coverings include:
- Easy operation: Push your shades up for more light and pull them down for less.
- Hassle-free design: Besides providing greater safety, cord-free blinds don’t require periodic detangling.
- Wide variety: Just because you’re narrowing down the selection doesn’t mean you can’t achieve the right look for your space—cordless window coverings come in several materials, colors, and aesthetics.
You can discuss your concerns with us, and we can help you find what will work best for you. We can provide modern solutions that do more than bring peace of mind. Alternatives to cordless products include retractable cord systems and indoor window shutters.
Motorized Blinds and Shades
Automated blinds and shades are other options with homes filled with the pitter-patter of little feet. Inherently cordless, motorized window treatments automatically raise and lower with remote control. Press a button, tap the app on your mobile device, or ask your digital personal assistant to do it. Motorization is available for:
- Cellular shades that absorb sound and block drafts
- Roman shades with gentle fabric folds or woven wood materials
- Privacy sheer panels that enhance light throughout the room
- And more
Additionally, you can program automated window treatments to coincide with your schedule, creating easier mornings, naptimes, and bedtimes for everyone.
Child Safety Tips
The Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) educates consumers on the risks associated with corded window blinds and shade systems, helping parents and caregivers make the safest choices for their homes. Here are some other ways to help protect your little ones around windows:
- Place cribs, rocking chairs, and furniture away from window coverings.
- Arrange toys away from any cords that could get caught in the mix.
- Ensure the lines on corded window treatments are short and far out of reach.
- Make sure children know window coverings aren’t playthings.
- Be aware of product recalls and make timely replacements.
- Secure curtain rods to wall studs to prevent them from being pulled down.
Certain window-treatment styles are compatible with retrofit kits so that you can modify your existing systems for a safer, healthier home. Work with your original dealer or review WCSC retrofit instructions for more information.
