Enhance Safety for Children and Pets with the Right Window Treatments

If you will be adding a new member to your household, it may time to re-evaluate what’s covering your windows. The good news is you don’t have to sacrifice style for safety. Many styles of window treatments are available with this safety feature, such as: horizontal blinds, vertical blinds, cellular shades, roller shades, Roman shades and much more. Plus, you’ll enjoy a cleaner, more streamlined look with your cordless window treatments.
If your window treatments were purchased before 2001 or have looped operation cords, call Budget Blinds to schedule your free in-home consultation and estimate. Ask your Budget Blinds Style Consultant to show you window treatments with cordless lift and tilt mechanisms or motorized mechanisms.

More about Motorization

Motorized window treatments are an excellent choice for households with small children, pets or members who may not be able to reach over a couch or piece of furniture to access controls. Motorization eliminates the need for corded lift and tilt systems that can pose a strangulation hazard for youngsters and pets. There are two types of motorization controls – hardwired or battery-operated. If the motors are hardwired into the home, window treatments can be controlled with the flip of a switch, much like a light bulb. If the homeowner opts for battery-operated controls, the window treatments will be operated with a hand-held remote control unit.
