Child Safe Shutters Designed With No Hanging Cords

Dangling pull cords on standard shutters pose severe strangulation hazards to curious young children. Today’s cordless shutter options completely remove this danger by eliminating exposed cords.

Through wand operation, concealed cord systems, and motorization, child safe shutters retain adjustable light control, privacy, and classic styling without risky cords hanging down. Safety is prioritized without sacrificing aesthetics.

Let’s examine how thoughtfully designed cordless shutters keep kids protected.

Concealed Cord Systems

If pull cords are needed for shutter function, have them routed internally and hidden from grasp:

• Enclose cords in secure tracks like a curtain’s side channels
• Guide cords through shutters themselves concealing access points
• Utilize cordless lifts with tilt rods using concealed bead chains
• Have cords control remote pulleys mounted along tops of shutters

Keep operational cords inaccessible behind panels rather than hanging freely.

Wand-Operated Cordless Shutters

Intuitive wand control rods allow opening shutters and adjusting louvers smoothly by hand. Wands tuck discretely out of reach when not needed.

Look for safety-focused features:

• Child-resistant bend-limiting wands requiring adult strength
• Anti-pinch fins on wand ends to protect little fingers
• Breakaway connectors to detach wands if excessively twisted

Motorized Cordless Shutters

Electric motors raise, lower, open and close shutters seamlessly with the push of a button or tap of an app. Power options include:

• Plug-in motors for nearby outlets
• Hardwired motors enabling centralized control
• Rechargeable battery packs for portability between windows

Motors enable hands-free convenience without any pull cord hazards. Control them via wall switches, remotes or smartphones.

Cordless Upgrade Options

Many cordless technologies suit adding onto existing shutters:

• Attach sleek battery wands without full shutter removal
• Insert concealed cord channels behind louvers
• Mount compact motors inside shutter frames

Eliminating risks is often possible without replacing shutters fully.

Conclusion

Cordless shutter options like wands, concealed cords, and motors remove the primary strangulation and choking hazards posed by dangling pull cords. Kids gain protection without sacrificing style and function. Contact our team to safely design and install cordless shutters protecting your family.
