As parents, we want to do everything we can to keep our children safe. That's why child-safe window coverings are so important in Springfield, Mo. There are a variety of child-safe options available, so you can find the perfect fit for your home.

 

Did you know that the cords on window blinds and drapes are a potential danger to toddlers and small children?  Many accidents have occurred when children have become entangled in the cords and the majority of makers no longer produce window treatments with accessible cords.

 

There are several child-safe options available when it comes to window coverings. Motorized blinds and shades are a great choice because they eliminate the need for cords altogether. Another option is cordless blinds and shades, which use a spring-loaded mechanism to raise and lower the window treatment.

 

So let's go over 5 of the best child-safe window coverings on the market today.

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades are our first recommendation for a child-safe window treatment option. 



They are made with honeycomb-shaped cells that trap air, providing insulation for your home. They also help to more evenly regulate the temperature in the room and absorb some sound, reducing the possibility of the neighbor’s car in Nixa waking the baby just as you got it to go to sleep.

 

Cellular shades are available in a variety of colors and textures to fit any home décor. And, because they are made with fabric, they offer a softer look and feel than some of the other window treatment options.

 

One of the great things about cellular shades is that they come in both cordless and motorized options.

Cordless Shades and Blinds

Budget Blinds of SW Missouri has a number of cordless options in shades and blinds beside the cellular shades.

 

The key to safety for your toddlers and small children is to remove the cords from window treatments. That’s exactly what cordless shades and blinds do.

 

Cordless shades are easy to operate. Simply push up on the bottom rail to raise the shade and pull down on the bottom rail to lower it. The spring-loaded mechanism takes care of the rest, so there are no cords for little fingers in Republic, Mo to get tangled in them.

 

Cordless blinds work the same way, except that they have slats instead of fabric. The slats can be tilted open or closed to control the amount of light and privacy in the room.

 

Like cellular shades, cordless shades and blinds are available in a variety of colors and textures to match any home décor.

Roller Shades

Roller shades have been around for a long time,  but they have seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years around Rockaway Beach.

 

They are a great choice for a child-safe window treatment because they are available in both cordless and motorized options.

 

Roller shades are made with a single piece of fabric that rolls up around a cylinder when you raise them. They can be lowered to any desired level.

 

Roller shades are a great choice for rooms where you want complete privacy, such as a nursery or bathroom. They are available in a variety of colors and fabrics, including woven wood, and blackout fabric - that will block out all light.

 

Our designers are happy to help you choose the perfect shades for your home.

Shutters

Shutters are another great cordless option for child-safe window treatments, plus they are simple to clean!

 

Small children like to touch everything, and these shutters will wipe clean with a damp rag.  No more worrying about fingerprints on the windows in Kimberling City.

 

 

Shutters can be used on any window in your home, but they are especially popular for sliding glass doors and French doors.

 

They are available in a variety of colors and styles to match any décor, from traditional to contemporary. Plus, they offer superior light control and privacy.

 

If you’re looking for a window treatment that will last for many years, shutters are a great choice.

Motorized Blinds and Drapes

As we mentioned before and our final recommendation, motorized blinds and drapes are a great choice for homes with small children in Branson, Mo.

 

Not only do they eliminate the need for cords, but they're also very easy to operate. Many motorized window treatments can be controlled with a remote, so you can raise and lower them without ever having to leave your seat.
