Types of Window Treatments Without Cords
For years, it seemed like long and dangling cords were an unavoidable part of window treatments, even though they had the potential for danger because they had a risk of being swallowed by or entangling kids and pets.
In 2024, new standards issued by the Window Coverings Manufacturers Association and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has regulated that new window treatments be sold with inaccessible cords and other accepted closure mechanisms to be more child and pet safe. This gives homeowners better options to control their window treatments.
For years, we all have wrestled with ineffective and potentially dangerous corded operating systems on many types of window treatments, including Roman shades, roller shades, cellular shades, and blinds. However, thanks to modern advancements in design, those traditionally corded treatments now have better options with cord-free styles from Hunter Douglas.
Join our team at Sunbeam Window & Door Co. as we explore these modern option for New Jersey homeowners and the different ways cordless window treatments can elevate your household or business.
Benefits of Cordless Window Treatments
- Aesthetic Enhancements: Nothing ruins a refined aesthetic like a wadded-up ball of cords or long tangled cords hanging from the treatment. It ruins the clean lines of a window covering like blinds and drags down the decor of the entire room. Cordless window treatments have a clean look to elevate the style of the rooms they occupy, and they do so without sacrificing performance, as operate at a better capacity.
- Safety Enhancement: Hanging cords on window treatments present a safety hazard to young children and small pets in the home. Vulnerable residents can become entangled in the lines and risk strangulation. Eliminate this risk in your New Jersey home by opting for a cord-free type of window treatment.
How To Pull Down Blinds Without Cords
Blinds and cords are almost synonymous—but what if we were to tell you that there are better ways to control your blinds? Without cords, you can pull down your blinds in more effective and safer ways using advanced tensioning systems in place of long cords.
Hunter Douglas wood, faux wood, and aluminum metal blinds are now available with automated control, as well as new cord free manual operation like the push up/pull down LiteRise® system with an internal tensioner or the push-button SimpleLife™ system. Simply grasp the bottom of the shade or push a button to lift or lower your blinds, and use a short cord or want to position its slats.
Other Cordless Window Treatments
- Shutters: Plantation-style shutters are a cord-free option, as their tilting louvers are controlled by a tilt bar. Hunter Douglas makes three types of cordless shutters: wood shutters, vinyl shutters, and composite faux-wood shutters.
- Heritance® Wood Shutters: Find timeless style inspired by nature with Hunter Douglas’s real wood plantation shutters. And feel good about your purchase knowing a donation will be made to the Arbor Day Foundation with each sale of wood shutters and blinds.
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters: Traditional plantation shutters enhanced with vinyl material that is both UV and moisture-resistant for lasting durability. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are also the only style of Hunter Douglas shutter compatible with PowerView® Automation.
- NewStyle® Composite Shutters: Designed for heavy use, these cordless shutters are perfect for the busiest areas of the home and require little care and maintenance. They maintain the look of fine wood shutters, with a choice of louver size for personal style preferences.
- Shades
- Hunter Douglas shades come with several cordless systems like the UltraGlide™ wand, the push up/pull down LiteRise® system, or the EasyRise™ corded loop.
- PowerView® Automation also transforms traditional window treatments into motorized shades, and one side effect of that design enhancement is eliminating the need for cords to raise or lower the treatment manually. Instead, with PowerView® motorized shades, the operation is controlled with a handheld Pebble® remote, by using the PowerView® app, or by integrating the system into home assistant programs with the PowerView® Gateway for voice control with smart home programs.
- PowerView® Automation is compatible with many types of window treatments, including roller shades, blinds, shutters, Roman shades, cellular shades, woven wood shades, and sheer shades from Hunter Douglas.
