The Importance of Child-Safe Blinds
Keeping our children safe is of paramount importance to every parent and caregiver. As we childproof our homes, one area that often gets overlooked is our window treatments. With their easy-to-reach cords, traditional blinds and curtains can pose potential hazards. That's why at North Idaho Blinds, Shades, and Shutters, we strongly advocate for child-safe blinds and only offer Hunter Douglas window treatments, all featuring cutting-edge and classic safety features.
In this blog, we'll explore the importance of child-safe blinds, focusing on blinds that close automatically, electric vertical blinds, and other innovative window treatments from Hunter Douglas that prioritize child safety.
Why are Child-Safe Blinds Essential?
Window blinds and shades often have cords or chains for opening and closing, and these can present safety issues for young children who love to explore their surroundings. Children can in advertently entangle themselves in these cords, leading to injuries or, in extreme cases, even fatal accidents. Child-safe blinds eliminate such risks, providing peace of mind for parents and caregivers.
Child-Safe Blinds from Hunter Douglas
We all place a high value on the safety of children, and industry leader Hunter Douglas is no different. They have developed a range of innovative, child-friendly blinds that offer enhanced safety features. These window treatments strictly adhere to the safety standards outlined by the American National Standards Institute, meaning that you can trust them to be safe all of the time.
One way that Hunter Douglas makes their blinds safer is through PowerView® Automation, a breakthrough technology that lets you program your blinds to open and close at specific times of the day or with just the push of a button on your phone or remote. This cordless and automatic system makes all of the window treatments it's installed on much safer for homes with young children, completely removing any risk of entanglement.
Hunter Douglas offers PowerView® Automation on a wide range of designer window treatments, meaning that you’ll be able to have your home looking just the way you want while keeping it completely safe for everyone, even the youngest members of the household.
Benefits of Child-Safe Blinds
Choosing child-safe blinds means something other than compromising on aesthetics or functionality. Child-safe window treatments from Hunter Douglas are not only innovative and safe but also blend seamlessly with various decor styles. Their window treatments are available in numerous colors, materials, and designs, ensuring you do not compromise on the look and feel of your space for safety.
The cordless and automatic operation of these blinds also adds a layer of convenience that any homeowner would appreciate. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation lets you control your blinds from anywhere in your home or even when you're not home.
Conclusion
For homes with young children, child-safe blinds are a must. The automatic and electric vertical blinds offered by Hunter Douglas provide ultimate child safety by eliminating the risks associated with corded blinds. North Idaho Blinds, Shades, and Shutters is committed to promoting a safe and beautiful home environment, and that is why we are proud to offer Hunter Douglas window treatments!
