In case you have not heard, blinds with cords are a safety hazard to to your home. Due to such concerns, there was a massive recall of traditional window shades by retailers, to be replaced in the future by cordless versions. If you want to know more about why you should also consider replacing your window shades, here are four benefits that cordless shades have over their counterparts.

Benefit one: as mentioned previously, cordless blinds are much safer than blinds with strings. With the former, there is the danger of young children and pets being caught in the strings and suffocate to death. This might see as a low probability event but you are mistaken if you think this is the case. According to the Windows Covering Safety Council, “since 1990, more than 200 infants and young children have died from accidentally strangling in window cords”.  Such unfortunate events can be avoided if cordless blinds are used.

Benefit two: cordless blinds make better decorative items. With traditional blinds, the dangling strings make the room look more messy. In contrast, cordless blinds are more tidy. As a result, they are more pleasing to the eyes and makes your room more attractive.

Benefit three: you can now able to buy cordless versions of any type of blinds in the market, ranging from cellular shades to roman shades. This wide range of selection means you have a greater choice when it comes to getting the right window shades for your room. Compared to three years ago, such options wasn’t available, making it much harder to find the model that is suitable for you.

Benefit four: cordless blinds are very easy to operate. With a simple button push, you can fold the blinds up or down. With traditional blinds, you will need to figure out which strings are the right ones to pull, making it a daily hassle.
