Child Safety and Lifting Systems

By Dave

vigtiered_literise_childsroom_3Because kids often imitate their parents by using whatever they have at hand, simple things around the home can become great hazards. For example, wouldn’t that dangling window treatment cord seem like a good stand-in when a child wants to wear a pearl necklace like Mom’s or a necktie like Dad’s? For that reason, window treatments and children can be a terrible mix. If you have not updated your functioning window treatments, perhaps it is time.

The best way to keep your kids safe is by selecting cordless window treatments. To learn more about window treatment safety, please click one of the following links:

  • American National Standards Institute
  • Window Coverings Manufacturers Association
  • Window Covering Safety Council 
  • Consumer Product Safety Commission

The Window Covering Industry uses many methods to communicate the potential hazards of corded window treatments. The use of tags helps communicate the important message of child safety and the potential strangulation hazards of corded window treatments.

Nearly all Hunter Douglas window coverings can be operated with a cordless feature or can be motorized. Some choices include:

  • Simplelift™ system, with which the bottom rail is used to raise and lower shades. You can find this system on Applause® Honeycomb Shades.
  • Vertiglide™, for side-to-side operation. You can find this system on products like Applause® & Duette® Honeycomb Shades or Vignette® Modern Roman Shades.
  • The LiteRise® system allows you to easily raise and lower window treatments without cords. This system is available on numerous products, including EverWood® Collection Alternative Wood Blinds, Modern Precious Metals® & Natural Elements™ Aluminum Blinds, Nantucket™ & Silhouette® Window Shadings, Parkland™ Wood Blinds, Solera™ Soft Shades, and Vignette® Modern Roman Shades.
  • The Clutch Lifting System uses a spring-like clutch to control screen shades and roller shades. TheUltraglide® system is a retractable pull cord, found on treatments such as Designer Studio™ Roman Shades, Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Nantucket™ & Silhouette® Window Shadings, and Pirouette® Window Shadings, among others.

To order a free retrofit kit for older window treatments, call 1-800-506-4636 or email info@windowcoverings.org. Or consider the Safe-T-Wand or ProLift™ system to eliminate cords. Click here to learn more about the Safe-T-Wand retrofit kits and where to buy them.

Custom Plantation Wood & Vinyl Interior Shutters by Norman Shutters

Starting at $17 a square ft for installation with no square ft minimum, the Norman shutter selection complements the décor of any room, on any window! From the customized luxury of Sussex to the charming simplicity of Normandy, expect nothing less than master craftsmanship, enduring beauty, custom options and outstanding privacy.

The refined elegance of the Sussex line is created by artisans who craft each custom shutter using mortise and tenon joinery, arguably the strongest joint in woodworking. Woodlore Shutters help create the finished look of a carefully appointed home, with performance that makes life easier. Handmade with premium hardwoods and finished in a popular array of soft neutral colors, Normandy Shutters will make a lasting impression in your home. The remarkable durability of Woodbury shutters comes from incorporating the same advanced ABS co-polymer material used in football helmets and other applications requiring tough, resilient materials. Made only from stunning Western Red Cedar, the Norman Amhurst shutters is handcrafted to highlight the intrinsic properties of the wood.
