Cordless Shades, Efficiency without Electricity
Cordless shades don’t have to be electric. There are such systems that lift the shades and lock them in position with the help of a simple spring and a blocking mechanism. When manually pushed up, the shades stop when the movement stops. Conversely, when they are pulled down, they don’t resist, but in the moment the traction ceases, they stop moving. This is an extremely efficient system which can help you improve the look of your windows, as you won’t have to see all those tangling cords hanging up at your windows and putting your children and your pets in danger. Besides, how sure you are that you can always watch your children when they play in their room? Wouldn’t it be better to know that they don’t have those cords at hand?
Where To Buy Cordless Shades From?
There are many window treatments manufacturers and home and garden stores which sell cordless shades and blinds. If you need such shades, all you have to do is to ask at the shop that’s closest to your home and you’ll probably find something suitable. But since you’re reading this, I suppose we can help you by letting you know what we’ve found:
Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shades: there are several light filtering shades models that can be ordered with cordless mechanism. Duette D1 and D2, Duette Panache G9 single cell and Encore G10 double cell. In the blackout range, you can go for Duette D12, D7 or H7.
Hunter Douglas Applause Honeycomb Shades: the cordless option is available on Applause Sunterra E40 and E41 3/4″ single cell light filtering, respectively blackout, on Applause Casuelle E15, E16 and E17 (3/4” single cell blackout)
Hunter Douglas Everwood 2” Cordless Blinds, both in the Original White collection and in the new natural tones. The natural tones faux wood blinds are really beautiful and they are very practical, because they don’t bend, they don’t warp and they don’t crack like hardwood does in time.
Bali Honeycomb Shades: it’s nice that Bali though to include here one model from their Economy range, the 3/8” single cell, which is a light filtering shade. Additionally, they also offer several shades from the DiamondCell range at prices higher than the Economy models.
There are a few bamboo shades that offer the cordless option too, but this will be the topic for another article.
