Ensuring Child Safety with Cordless Blinds

In light of evolving safety regulations spearheaded by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the window treatments industry has seen a significant shift. Here in Colorado Springs, where the beauty of the landscape meets modern home design, Love is Blinds is at the forefront of this change. By adhering to the ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 standards, we are phasing out corded blinds in favor of safer, cordless alternatives. This commitment not only protects the youngest members of your family but also integrates seamlessly with the aesthetic demands of contemporary homes.

Navigating the New CPSC Regulations on Window Blinds

As of late 2018, all window coverings sold must either be cordless or have inaccessible cords, a mandate that aligns with our dedication to safety and innovation. At Love is Blinds Colorado Springs, we understand that these standards are more than regulatory requirements—they are a new benchmark in child safety. Our range of custom window treatments meets these rigorous standards, ensuring that your home is safe, stylish, and compliant.

The Aesthetic and Practical Benefits of Cordless Window Treatments

Choosing cordless window treatments brings a sleek, clean look to your home's interiors, favored in modern design schemes across Colorado Springs. Beyond their visual appeal, these blinds offer practical benefits: they're easy to operate and maintain, and eliminate the risks and nuisances of tangled cords. Whether you're looking to update a single room or revamp your entire home, cordless blinds from Love is Blinds offer both functionality and elegance.
