Silhouette® Window Shadings

Did you know that many types of window treatment (especially those made more than 20 years ago) are a hazard to children and pets? Since 1995, the window treatment industry has been focused on reducing the dangers that are posed by looped window treatments. For years here at Window Treats, we’ve helped customers from throughout the New Jersey and NYC areas select safe and stylish window treatments.

Warding off Hidden Dangers

Children are naturally curious, and they’re often drawn toward windows and window treatments. As a Hunter Douglas window fashions dealer, we carry a wide variety of stylish window treatments designed with safety in mind. From cordless manual and motorized operating systems to retractable lift cords, cord tensioners, and wand controls, we offer a wide array of innovative lift-system options for enhanced child and pet safety as well as especially easy operation.

Steps to Take

To ensure that your window treatments don’t pose a threat to children and pets:

• Convert to newer window treatments or retrofit your old ones, particularly those made before 2001. More recently produced window coverings include safety features such as loop control, cordless operation, wand pull, and motorization that don’t require cords.
• Keep all window pull cords and inner lift cords out of the reach of children. Keep tassel pull cords short, and ensure that continuous-loop cords are permanently anchored to the floor or wall. Ensure that cord stops are properly installed and adjusted to limit movement of inner lift cords.
• Use safety features such as cord cleats and tensioning devices.
• When horizontal blinds or shades are lowered, ensure that the cords are locked into position.
• Be particularly conscious of the window coverings in children’s bedrooms and play areas. Move all cribs, beds, furniture, and toys that can be climbed on away from windows, preferably to another wall.
