Child-Safe Window Treatments
Being stylish with kids isn’t always easy. We sacrifice stylish for practical and safe, especially when it comes to our homes. However, Hunter Douglas offers a variety of child-safe window treatments that are both suitable for homes with small children and suitable for those who want a lovely design at their window. Read on to find your perfect fit.
Challenges of Kids on Window Shades
Safety Hazards
One of the most important factors when considering window treatments in homes with children is safety. Window treatments with hanging or loose cords can pose a strangulation hazard for small children (or pets) that can become entangled in the lines. Child-safe window treatments, therefore, are those that do not have hanging cords that pose a danger to the youngest members of a family. Instead, they operate using a cordless lifting mechanism.
In the Hunter Douglas collection, there are several options for cord-free window treatments that make excellent child safe shades. First, there are window coverings like interior shutters that use tilt bars in lieu of cords to open or close the louvers. Secondly, there are motorized operating systems for select styles of window shades that can be controlled via PowerView® Automation, an easy-to-operate system accessible with a handheld remote, wall unit, app, or your voice via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Home Kit.
Durability
Child-friendly shades need to be more than safe if they are to last in a family home. That’s because kids are hard on things. Even beautiful treatments can fail fast to the heavy-handed use of families. Homeowners with young children should look for window treatments constructed from durable, high-quality materials that are built for heavy use.
Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters stand out as optimal choices for child-safe window treatments because they are both durable and cord-free. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are built to last with interior aluminum bracing and resin blocks that heightens their inherit strength as well as water-resistant materials that ensure longevity even in hot, humid, or damp spaces. In fact, Hunter Douglas is so sure that their Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters will thrive in your home that they offer a lifetime guarantee that these child-safe window treatments will never chip, splinter, break, warp, or discolor. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are a naturally cord-free option available with front tilt bar, hidden back tilt, or the exclusive TruView™ Rear Tilt with an upgradable option for PowerView® Automation. And with all of these features on board, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters still maintain a classic look with the authoritative yet graceful aesthetic of plantation shutters, which come in a range of neutral tones to accent or complement existing décor.
