Is the window covering child-safe?

Particularly if you have young children or pets at home safety is important. In 1993, Hunter Douglas introduced the Break-Thru Safety Tassel for horizontal blinds, leading the industry in addressing the safety concerns posed by window covering cords. Since that time the company has continually introduced new and improved technologies that enhance the safety of Hunter Douglas products and family homes. Among the safety innovations: the PermAssure Safety Wand, a fiberglass wand that is a single control replacing both the cord and the chain on vertical blinds; cordless, wireless PowerRise motorization; the UltraGlide patented lifting system on Duette shades and Silhouette shadings, which features a single, retractable cord that is easily kept out of the way of children; and the LiteRise Touch System, a cordless lift system that allows shades or blinds to be raised and lowered with touch of a finger.  more
