Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds near Granite Bay, California (CA)

When designing for children and pets, we try to keep key features like closure mechanisms and control options in high priority for spaces like kid’s rooms and playrooms. With the latest models of child-safe blinds and shades from Hunter Douglas, you are bound to find a style that will suit your family.

3 Tips for Picking Out Kids’ Blinds

  • Put Safety First: When it comes to children, safety is paramount. And the younger the child, the more vulnerable they can be to different risk factors in the home. For example, did you know that window shades pose a strangulation hazard for kids? The hanging cords used to open and close shades can also be a strangulation hazard for pets as animals and young children can become entangled in the lines. These cords ensnare and risk strangulation if individuals are unable to untangle themselves. Therefore, cord-free operating systems are a strategic way to transform traditional types of window coverings like blinds into child-safe.
  • Anticipate Destructive Tendencies: Kids and pets may be little, but they’re strong—especially when it comes to their uncanny ability to destroy household items. So, when shopping for child-safe window coverings, remember you’ll also need a style of treatment that can stand up to the sometimes-harsh handling of children. It is hard window treatments, like blinds made of wood or metal, that prove the most resistant to destruction at the hands of young children or unruly pets.
  • Prioritize That Which Is Easy to Clean: Don’t add to the unending chore of picking up after kids. Enough parental time is spent cleaning up after children, so it only makes sense to prioritize styles of window treatments that are easy to clean. Once again, in this capacity, hard treatments like kids’ blinds and shutters are the choice for kid-friendly treatments as they require less routine cleaning and care than fabric-based shades.

3 Child Safe Blinds by Hunter Douglas

Hunter Douglas produces three different styles of kids’ blinds whose design meets the specific needs and safety requirements of children:

First, all three types of Venetian blinds are available with cord-free operating systems including PowerView® Automation for cordless motorized blinds, LiteRise® System for control at your fingertip, and SimpleLift™ with push-button control for cord-free, child safe blinds. Second, they are made from incredibly durable materials. Common materials used in kids’ blinds include woods and metals that have natural strength and faux-wood composites with engineered robustness. Third, blinds require only dusting for routine maintenance with spills and stains being wiped away with a damp cloth and gentle cleanser.
