The Wonderful Benefits of Cordless Shades and Blinds


 

Since the end of 2018, most corded blinds are no longer being manufactured. Corded blinds pose a dangerous risk of strangulation to small children and pets. According to a study done by the American Academy of Pediatrics:

Although many of the injuries in this study were nonfatal and resulted in ... From 1981 to 1995, there were 183 deaths from window blind cord ...

 In this day and age, we have technology that can help create a safer environment.  Let's look at some of the wonderful benefits of cordless blinds.

 Manual Blinds and Shades

  Manual systems are less expensive and usually require a gentle push or pull on the bottom bar to raise and lower the blind. This type of blind is primarily good for smaller windows and easy to access areas. SIMPLELIFT (tm) lowers and raises your blinds with ease with and easy clean tab.

SimpleLift™

SimpleLift™ offers enhanced safety for children and pets. The contoured bottom rail makes raising and lowering simple, with no handle required. Learn more about SimpleLift™

Motorized Blinds and Shades

Motorized systems are more expensive but offer many convenient features such as push button operation and operation from your phone. Motorized blinds and shades are great for larger windows and tight spaces so you don't have to squeeze in between spaces to raise or lower your your blinds.

A Clean Look

Needless to say, the less we have hanging around our windows, the cleaner the lines. The little dangly-bits around the window is less than eye-catching. Cords tend to fray, tangle and get dirty over time becoming an unsightly mess.

Light Control at the Touch of a Button

We are much less likely to manage the light in a room when we have to walk to the window and fiddle with the cords to get the perfect height we desire to brighten or darken a room. Motorized shades are perfect for keeping the lighting in your room at the desired level. Some motorized shades can even be set to a timer so as to lower or rise at designated times. PowerView automation is an excellent choice.
