2019-2020 Purchasing Guide Volume 6

Cordless Blinds

Effective December 15, 2018 , manufacturers can no longer produce "ready-made" corded blinds. That does NOT mean they will not be available. Any corded blinds that are in stock can still be sold. However, once the inventory has depleted, so has that item . The new industry standard is an innovative, safety-driven design that improves upon the classics bringing a cleaner look, ease of installation and operation, along with the child-safe functionality you need. Generally, even cordless blinds and shades have internal cords running through the slats or shades in order to provide lift. While you might say that means they are not truly cordless, external cords and pulls, which represent the primary risk factor, have been eliminated. Less is More! We’re Going Cordless in 2019!

BENEFITS OF GOING CORDLESS: STYLE. SAFETY. SIMPLICITY.

STYLE Aesthetic appeal is a huge perk! Besides being safer, they’re more attractive as there aren’t any ugly cords that need to be hidden. Cordless window treatments can make windows look uncluttered and streamlined, giving them a modern clean appearance. SAFETY The main benefit of cordless blinds and shades is that they’re safer than other window treatments. No more dangling cords or uneven blind slats. SIMPLICITY Most cordless systems raise and lower by simply grasping and moving the lower rail up or down to lift. In order to move the slats without raising the entire blind, you simply tilt the bottom layer in the direction of your choice. This results in a clean look, increased safety and very simple operation. The new cordless blinds were designed for durability.
