Cordless window blinds in Panama City Beach, FL are a common choice among homeowners because they are so versatile and they offer so many advantages in their homes. Why should you choose cordless window blinds?
Cordless window blinds are opened and closed by simply using raising or lowering the bottom rail of the blinds, which eliminates the typical corded operation that we associate with window blinds. Cordless window blinds can be incorporated into any home décor and they are an excellent window treatment solution for most of the windows in your home.
One reason why you should choose cordless window blinds is because they are a childproofing solution for your home. Whether you have small children of your own or you have grandchildren who spend a lot of time at your home, the safety of your home for these little ones are always paramount.
You’ve likely already childproofed your stairs, your electrical outlets, and your cabinets and pantries to keep these little ones safe, but you may not have thought about your window blinds. Corded window blinds can be tempting for children to play with and play in, but they present a danger in that small children can get tangled up in them and can be seriously injured or killed because they get strangled by the cords.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) recommends that only cordless window blinds be used in bedrooms and nurseries where children will be playing. This is even more critical for children who are between six months and one year old, since the cords on corded window blinds are easy for them to reach.
In the last 25 years or so, almost 200 deaths among children have been attributed to corded window blinds. In the same time period, almost 17,000 children have been injured by corded window blinds.
Cordless window blinds eliminate this danger while giving you the same versatility and ease of use of window blinds.
Another reason why you should choose cordless window blinds is that they will be considered the standard type of window blinds you should get for your home (homeowners can still purchase corded window blinds, but they are recommended only for homes where just adults will be).
Because of the safety issues that corded window blinds present for children – and pets – the window blinds industry has initiated a “Best for Kids” campaign that educates homeowners about why cordless window blinds are the safest type of window blinds to use in homes where children are.
Cordless window blinds also can be controlled using a remote or smart technology, which makes them an excellent choice for homes where people with limited mobility, such as disabled or elderly people, live. Remote operation using a control button or smart technology makes cordless window blinds easier to raise and lower.
A final reason why you should choose cordless window blinds is because they give your home a much more modern look than corded window blinds. They offer a nice clean and stylish look because there are no components that show and no cords that dangle. They come in many colors, so they can be a complementary addition to the existing colors in a room or they can be a contrasting color that brings a highlight to the room.
