child-safe window treatments

Shopping for new window treatments can be particularly challenging if you have kids. In addition to form and function, you have to focus on safety. Knox Blinds offers child-safe window treatments that can also improve your home’s comfort and style! Get some ideas below.

Look for Window Treatments That Don’t Have Cords

When it comes to window treatments, cords pose the greatest danger to children. Young kids are drawn to things that dangle, and a toddler can get wrapped up in a cord and be strangled. Although it’s possible to secure cords to prevent an accident, you’ll be better off selecting window treatments that don’t have cords.

Shutters are child-safe window treatments. Knox Blinds offers durable and attractive plantation shutters made with vinyl and MDF composites and real wood. Young kids often enjoy opening and closing shutters over and over. Our shutters have mortise and tenon joints that help them withstand the stress of repeated opening and closing.

Shades can help you control light, protect your privacy, and keep your kids safe. We offer roller shades, Roman shades, and cellular shades. All are crafted with durable materials and can block out light to varying degrees. In addition, our shades don’t have cords that could put your kids in danger.

Blinds generally have cords, but there are safe options for homes with children. Many of the blinds that we offer can be motorized. Instead of raising and lowering them with cords, you’ll be able to adjust them using a simple remote control.
