Child-Friendly Window Treatments
Preparing for a child is a very involved process. Much of this involves babyproofing your house. From sharp corners to electrical outlets, you have everything covered to ensure that your home is safe for your child.
Of course, one element and babyproofing might go unnoticed in the nesting stage: your window treatments. While the window treatments themselves aren't inherently dangerous for children, the dangling cords can set the stage for a choking or tangling hazard.
Does this mean you have to live without window treatments until your child understands the safety rules around dangling chords?
Absolutely not. Hunter Douglas offers a variety of window treatment operating systems that allow you to babyproof your windows and ensure that your child is safe in any room. Read on to learn more about our Hunter Douglas child-friendly window treatments and their systems.
Window Treatment Options
Many of our Hunter Douglas® child-friendly window treatments involve the LightRise® operating system. This cordless system holds blinds and shades in any position once you remove your hand. All you have to do is push the window covering up to raise and pull it down to lower. When you remove your hand, the shade or blind will stay precisely where you want it to be. This is an excellent addition to children's rooms and any room in your home because it eliminates the need for cords altogether. Additionally, this system is perfect for households that simply do not want to mess with finicky, dangling cords. The LightRise® system is available with a variety of Hunter Douglas shades and blinds, including Silhouette® Sheer Shadings (excellent for light transformation), Sonnette™ Roller Shades (perfect for energy efficiency), and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades (ideal for homes that want an organic style).
Operating System Options
As mentioned, Hunter Douglas child-friendly window treatments achieve that title thanks to the various operating systems available, including PowerView® Automation. Completely cordless and transforming your window treatments, this system allows you to open, close, and adjust your window treatments with the tap of a button, use of your favorite smart device, or even just by using your voice. You can even have your window treatments adjust according to the sun's rising and setting.
This system is perfect for households with small children because it allows you to operate your window treatments hands-free. No more messing around with cords and worrying about tripping or tangling hazards. Set up the time you want your window treatments to adjust or operate them in real-time via the app or Pebble® Control and continue on with your day.
