Top Contenders for Child- and Pet-Safe Window Coverings

While most Hunter Douglas window treatments would work well in your home, some make more sense than others. Here are the top options for child and pet safety:

Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Sheer Shades

• Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Sheer Shades are made of opaque vanes that move in tandemto adjust light and privacy. Attached to a single sheer panel that blocks up to 80% of UV rays, these sheer shades protect your family and your belongings from harmful sun exposure. They offer excellent light control and are available in more than 90 colors—all without the use of dangerous dangling cords.

Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades

• Inspired by the draping fabric shades popularized by the ancient Romans, modern Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades add depth and warmth to your windows with beautiful fabric folds, without any exposed cords hanging down that kids or pets can wrap around or try to swing from.

Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds

• These aluminum blinds are excellent for busy households.

They hold up to daily usage and are easy to clean. You can also choose from more than 70 colors, so they’ll easily fit your aesthetic.

Child and Pet Safety: Choose Cordless Operations

Once you have your window treatments, you can choose an operating system. Cordless window treatments are the best way to keep your children safe, as loose pullcords are a strangulation hazard. Hunter Douglas has several alternatives, including:

• LiteRise®: Push the blinds or shades up to raise them and pull them down to lower them.
• UltraGlide®: These retractable cords keep cords at one length, out of reach of young children and pets. They’re available on many shades and blinds.
• PowerView® Automation: This motorized solution is cordless, automated, and safe. Use the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® app, or create a schedule to adjust your treatments. These shades also pair with most smart home devices for hands-free control.
