Whether you have children, pets or both, it can be incredibly worrisome to leave the room for even just one second. The first step to alleviating any fears of your little ones being hurt, is to child-proof the room with child-safe window coverings that ensure their utmost safety. <\/span><\/p>\n Things like cord safety, as well as wand safety, is important. Exposed, hanging cords can be a strangulation hazard for small children and pets, so it\u2019s highly recommended that you take the necessary steps to outfit your entire home with child-safe window coverings. This is especially important in rooms like children\u2019s bedrooms, playrooms or other rooms where children play or are left unattended, even for just a few seconds of the day. Another area where this is important is parts of the home where windows and their treatments are low and within arms reach of a child, or areas where they can climb to try and catch a hanging cord or wand.<\/span><\/p>\n All motorized window coverings are child safe as they can simply be operated with the touch of a button, from your smartphone app or remote control (which can be mounted high up on the wall and out of reach of little ones). Motorized coverings are fantastic in elevating the convenience of your home, controlling temperature and controlling light. With the touch of a button, you can operate your child\u2019s blinds in their bedroom to lift as soon as it\u2019s time for them to wake, or well before they fall asleep at night.<\/span><\/p>\n Cordless lift blinds, shades and shutters are another great option as there are no excess hanging cords that could put your child in danger. Cordless window treatments come in a variety of styles, from honeycomb shades, bamboo shades and roller shades to faux wood blinds and mini blinds. All that\u2019s required for operation is a hand motion to draw the blinds open or closed.<\/span><\/p>\n Shutters are great for children as they are often held together by magnets, making them completely cord and wand free.<\/span><\/p>\n At Home Makeover Centre, our installation team will ensure a flawless, safe and child-proof installation to maximize the safety in your home.
