Benefits of Cordless Shades near Princeton, NJ

It has been said time and time again that if something is not broken, don’t try to fix it. While this might be true for certain things in life, that doesn’t mean that we should disregard the idea of an upgrade altogether. The same thing can be thought of your window treatments. Back in the day, window treatments were solely operated using cords. They were relatively sufficient and good enough at their job. But why settle for good enough when you can achieve something great? That is why Hunter Douglas offers a variety of cordless shades for you to choose from. We cannot wait to dive into all of the benefits of cordless shades to help you decide which is best for your home.

Avoid the Hazards of Cords

Households with small pets or children know that dangling cords can pose a serious hazard. From trips to tangles, corded window treatments are an accident waiting to happen. One of the benefits of cordless shades is that they are safe for children and pets.

For example, the Top-Down/Bottom-Up feature is available with various Hunter Douglas window treatments. This unique closure style lets you raise and lower your shades effortlessly without any dangerous cords. For privacy or natural light, pull down on the shades or push them up and then let go. The shades will stay exactly where you left them, giving your precise control over your privacy, light, and shade.

Whether you place these shades in your kid’s bedroom or throughout your home, you will immediately feel at ease knowing that dangling cords are a past worry.

Enjoy the Precision of Automation

We have all been in a similar situation where we try to get our shades to rest at a specific point on the window, only for them to drop on one side or fail to stay put completely. This is because cord window treatments are often finicky and make us feel like a puppeteer that is failing to control its puppet. It can make trying to enjoy some simple privacy or sunlight extremely agitating. This is especially true if you have to adjust multiple window treatments all throughout the day.

Fortunately, another one of the benefits of cordless shades is that you can achieve precision every single time. In fact, our Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation System allows you to adjust your shades to move ahead of time or in real time with the PowerView® app on your smartphone or tablet, the Pebble® remote control, or even your voice when connected to Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and more popular smart-home devices.

Once you integrate PowerView® Automation into your home, you will no longer have to fight your shade. This system is also excellent for individuals who may struggle to grasp cords to adjust their shades.

Try An Interior Shutter

Hunter Douglas interior shutters offer a unique alternative to traditional window shades. Instead of cords, these shutters are designed with a simple and elegant mechanism that allows easy operation without hanging strings. Just move the slats to adjust the coverage and allow for great views or complete privacy. This not only adds a touch of sophistication to your home, but it also eliminates the potential danger of cords, which can be a concern for many families.

Additionally, Hunter Douglas interior shutters come in a range of materials, styles, and colors, making it easy to find the perfect match for your home's décor.
