 Every year, countless injuries can be
prevented by following a few simple steps
when it comes to window covering safety.
October is National Window Covering Safety
Month and we wanted to share some tips and
resources that can help make your home
safer, and give you a brief overview of a
few of our safety features.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
has made it a major effort to protect
consumers from injury from consumer products
including window treatments. It highlights
several common risks that may result from
corded window treatments when safety
features are not included.

can happen if regular cords are used.
Injuries like these can be easily avoided by
going with a cord-free or cord-safe
solution. In addition to shutters, which are
inherently cordless, Shutters 4 Less offers
several award winning cordless options:
Child-Safe Cord Release Device
Our child and pet safe cord release
device is designed to deploy when there
is a risk of entanglement. Designed
especially to protect children as young
as infants. Our cord release device has
been vigorously tested and complies with
standards from the Consumer Product
Safety Commission, and others.
Enhanced safety options on our
shutter lines are based on unique
needs:
-
All our products, including
blinds, shades and shutters are
free from VOCs and either
meet or exceed international
standards, including CARB
(California Air Resources Board)
standards, for off-gassing of
harmful chemicals.
-
Optimal™ anti-microbial
finish: The long lasting
finish reduces accumulation of
harmful germs such as staph, e
coli and salmonella, perfect for
rooms with babies, children or
the elderly.
-
PerfectTilt® motorization
allows you to tilt whole panels
of shutter louvers with a
remote control, and a
solar-powered option is also
available. Especially for
skylights, the motorized option
can prevent accidents that
happen resulting from falling
when adjusting shutters.
