What Are the Best Cordless Window Treatments?

Dangling cords on blinds and shades are a minor annoyance in appearance and operation. That is, until they become a real problem in your home, such as when a curious child reaches up for one or a pet takes an interest in them.

Who needs that kind of stress? At Midwest Blind & Shade, we carry modern, cordless window treatments that work better, look nicer, and are much safer.

Why Cordless Window Treatments Are a Smart Home Investment

Cord-free window coverings are a vital safety choice, particularly in homes with young kids or pets. Dangling cords on blinds and shades have long been identified as a strangulation hazard, and many top experts recommend cordless window treatments in any room where children sleep or play.

Cordless blinds and shades are also easier to use, with no tangled pulls, broken parts, or frustrating uneven hems.

And then there are interior shutters.

The Original Cordless Window Treatments: Shutters

Hunter Douglas interior shutters, like NewStyle® Composite Shutters, are inherently cordless, making them a fine choice for window coverings. They work through a simple hinge-and-tilt mechanism and have timeless, sophisticated appeal.

The panels mount directly to the window frame and swing open like a door, and the adjustable louvers tilt to control light and privacy. Because the entire system is built from rigid panels with no moving strings or cords involved, there’s nothing to tangle or fray.

What Are the Types of Cordless Window Treatment Operating Systems?

Hunter Douglas offers various modern cordless systems for their window treatments, including:

SimpleLift™ System is compatible with Hunter Douglas wood, faux wood, and metal horizontal blinds. Use the contoured bottom rail to raise and lower the slats.
LiteRise® System allows you to push up or pull down select Hunter Douglas cordless shades, including Roman shades, and blinds with your hand.
Cordless Lifting System uses a spring-assisted mechanism for easy control that you push and pull down on with your hand.
PermAssure® Safety Wand is a basic push-and-pull control that’s helpful on vertical blinds.
PowerView® Automation is a motorized operating system that responds to wireless signals. It works with a remote, app, or voice commands, and is compatible with most Hunter Douglas blinds, shades, and vinyl shutters.

Is There Value in Professionally Installed Cordless Window Treatments?

Yes, there’s value in having your cordless window treatments installed professionally. Professional installation of cordless window treatments ensures the blinds, shades, or shutters are cut to your window’s exact dimensions and operate as expected while looking great.

Our certified and friendly installers at Midwest Blind & Shade will do the heavy lifting, and you can relax and enjoy your new cordless view when they’re finished.
