How to Pull Down Blinds Without Cords
If you're like many homeowners, you're always looking for ways to make your home safer and more convenient. Window treatments might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but certain ones present risks.
Traditional cords on blinds and shades pose a significant safety hazard, particularly for young children and pets. They can also be hard to reach for people with limited mobility. Fortunately, simple solutions are available at Kaloko Shutter & Blind that make things safer for your family and furry friends.
Why are Cords on Blinds Unsafe?
Dangling cords on blinds have long been recognized as a safety concern, and for a good reason. They present a strangulation risk for curious little ones and pets who may become entangled. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, corded window coverings are among American homes' top five hidden hazards, leading to yearly accidents. A safer alternative is not just desirable but essential.
The Benefits of Automatic Blinds for Windows
We know how to pull down blinds without cords and minimize this risk. The first option is motorized window treatments. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation operates through a motorized system installed within your blinds or shades. You control them with a wall-mounted or hand-held remote, smartphone app, or through voice command. Once engaged, the motors raise, lower, or tilt the window coverings. The motors are hidden within the frames, and there’s no need for manual adjustments or cords.
The convenience of motorized window treatments cannot be overstated. Imagine adjusting your blinds without fumbling with cords, especially with hard-to-reach windows. Whether you're cozied up in bed with a good book or entertaining guests in your living room, controlling your blinds this way is a real luxury. And it works like magic.
The benefits of motorized blinds extend beyond that convenience. You create a cleaner, more streamlined look for your windows by eliminating cords. They can also be programmed to open and close when you’re not there, making it look like someone’s home. You can also save on heating and cooling costs if you program them to open and close to maximize or minimize heat, cold, and sunlight during the day and night.
More Automatic Blinds for Windows
Hunter Douglas also offers SoftTouch® Motorization to upgrade many of its custom window treatments. This battery-operated system uses a wand to adjust blinds. To lower them, gently pull down the wand; to raise them, simply push it up. It even has a "click and walk away" feature for added convenience.
Hunter Douglas offers several other cordf ree systems to operate their custom blinds and shades, as well. Here’s one more: The Hunter Douglas LiteRise® system allows you to raise or lower blinds manually using a bottom rail. It eliminates the need for cords and offers a simple operation.
You Needn’t Know How to Pull Down Blinds When You Have Shutters
Custom shutters are tailored window coverings that fit specific window dimensions and decor styles. Crafted from high-quality materials like wood, composite, or vinyl, interior shutters offer durability and long-lasting beauty. Cordless custom shutters provide enhanced safety, convenience, and a traditionally elegant look for any home.
