What window treatments are child-safe?
Cordless and cord-free window treatments are the child-safe standard - shades, blinds and shutters that operate without a hanging cord remove the strangulation hazard that corded products pose to young children and pets. Jacoby Company offers cordless and cord-free options across shades, blinds and plantation shutters.
Are plantation shutters cord-free?
Yes - plantation shutters use a tilt rod or hidden mechanism to adjust the louvers, not a cord, which is one reason many parents choose them over corded blinds for nurseries and kids' rooms.
Can I make my existing corded blinds safer without replacing them?
Cord cleats, cord shorteners and tension devices can reduce risk on existing corded blinds, but they do not eliminate it the way a cordless or cord-free product does. For a room with young children, Jacoby Company recommends replacing corded products outright rather than retrofitting them.
