3 Benefits of Cordless Window Shades

We’ve all been there: battling the cords of our window treatments only for them to tilt to one side, researching how to keep dangling cords out of reach from small children or pets, and wondering how to shut those hard-to-reach shades. Whether you’ve gone through one of these scenarios or cycle through all three regularly, one thing is certain: It’s time to enjoy the benefits of cordless window shades.

Our Delux Drapery & Shade Co. team is here to discuss why we think you’ll love Hunter Douglas cordless shades, including the stunning contemporary cordless Roman shades, to help you decide if they're worth the investment in your Michigan home.

1. Increased Safety

Whether you have small children, pets, or both running around the home, dangling cords make any homeowner feel on edge. One great advantage of cordless window shades is that they eliminate the risk of trips, entanglements, and other potential hazards, making them child- and pet-friendly coverings.

If you like the idea of corded operation but want something safer, consider the UltraGlide® retractable cord system. It keeps the cords at a constant length, offering a clean, polished appearance while keeping your little ones safe.

This system is available in a wide selection of Hunter Douglas cordless shades, including:

2. Improved Operation Controls

Corded window shades aren’t always the best fit for every home. If you have trouble gripping traditional window shades or you’re tired of constantly fighting finicky cords that never seem to do what you want, cordless shades bring ease of use to the home.

The LightRise® system allows you to enjoy sun, shade, or privacy easily. Simply push the window treatment to raise it and pull it down to lower it. When you let go, your shades stay precisely where you left them.

This system is available with various Hunter Douglas window treatments, such as:

3. Personalized Convenience

The beauty of cordless window shades is that you can operate them in a way that’s suitable for you. For example, if you wish to enjoy a hands-free experience that operates your window treatments according to your timeline, traditional cords won’t cut it.

Innovative and award-winning, Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation is a cordless system that controls your window treatments with the push of a button, tap on your mobile device, or your voice. With the PowerView® App, you can set a schedule that automatically adjusts your window treatments throughout the day.
