Children are innovative. They can turn a plain teddy bear into a best friend or a cardboard box into an imaginary land. However, they can also turn common household objects like blinds and shades into dangerous choking hazards. The CPSC has documented over 140 cases of strangulation due to blinds since 1981.

AAA Blinds & Shutters, serving Raleigh, Cary, and surrounding areas is aware of these dangers and makes child safety a priority. The main danger to children concerning window blinds and shades are the traditional control cords and loops that children can become entangled in, as well as small parts that children can break off, creating choke hazards. Here are some options that offer worry-free operation while preserving beauty and functionality.

Cordless Shades- A variety of products now offer cordless operating systems. Choose from honeycomb/cellular shades, wood blinds, and roman shades. Honeycomb shades are renowned for their energy efficiency as well as opacity, color, texture, and fabric options. The cordless honeycomb shade is the perfect union of safety and energy efficiency. Hunter Douglas even offers cordless lift systems on their wood blinds. Vignette Roman shades offer the elegance of a custom window treatment coupled with the safety of cordless operation.

Motorized Blinds and Shades- The ultimate in convenience, a motorized blind or shade also is free of cords and loops. One of the newest innovations in the window blind and shade industry is the movement of motorized products into the residential arena. Automated shades were mostly the domain of commercial areas only five years ago. Now, innovative window covering companies offer a variety of options that can be motorized for home use, including horizontal sheers, plantation shutters, wood blinds, roman shades, honeycomb shades, roller shades, and solar shades.

Plantation Shutters- The timeless beauty of plantation shutters makes them an icon in window fashions. Another less celebrated feature, though one of vast importance, is the inherent safety plantation shutters offer in their design. Shutters carry very little maintenance, thus they can withstand toddlers and bubbling teenagers. They have no dangling cords or small parts that could break off and become a hazard. As well as adding to the value of your home, plantation shutters add to the safety of your family, which adds peace of mind to you.
