Safe Window Treatments
We like to think that our homes are safe, but anyone who has ever had a baby, or a new pet can attest to all the numerous things in our home that can create an unintended safety hazard. Stairways, light sockets, kitchen cabinets, cleaning solutions, knives, and more can be dangerous to small children or anyone who doesn’t know how to treat them with care. But we don’t often think of our window coverings as being something that can create a potentially unsafe situation in our home. However, particularly for children and pets, window fashions need to be monitored for safety purposes. If you worry about keeping your family safe around your window treatments, there are options you can choose to decrease the likelihood of an accident. Keep reading to let the team at Wilmington Blind, Shutter, Closet, & Murphy Bed Co. tell you about safe window treatments for homes near New Hanover County, NC.
Vignette® Modern Roman Shades
The main hazard that comes with window coverings is their operation hardware. Particularly things like dangling wands and cords can seem like toys to children and pets, and pulling on them improperly can damage the window fashion in addition to potentially creating an unsafe situation. Because of this, one of our favorite safe window treatments from Hunter Douglas is the Vignette® collection of modern roman shades. In addition to being beautiful to look at and functional in their design, the Vignette® collection features operation hardware that is totally concealed in the rear of the shade. This allows you to still operate your shades by hand if you desire without having to worry about a child or pet yanking on the cords.
Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are one of the best safe window treatments because all of their operation hardware is incorporated into the body of the window fashion. To operate plantation shutters, all you need to do is move the louver on the front to adjust the slats of the shutter. Not only does this provide you with easily adjustable light control, but it also circumvents the possibility of a dangling cord or wand that could result in an accident. Even though shutters are made of hard materials like wood, they are still easy to operate, making them a great choice for any home.
Motorized Window Treatments
If operation hardware is what results in most of the danger associated with window coverings, then the solution would be to simply remove the hardware, right? With PowerView® motorization from Hunter Douglas, you can do just that, turning any window fashions in your home into safe window treatments. PowerView® removes the need for operation hardware, allowing you to adjust your window coverings from anywhere in your home by using the Pebble remote control, the PowerView® mobile app, or by connecting your PowerView® account with your Google or Amazon smart home system. In addition to make your home safer, PowerView® also results in window treatments that are incredibly easy and convenient to use. Talk about a win-win!
