| EcoSmart Child Safe Window Treatments Offer Consumers Safety and Beauty
 We all know that a home can pose many hazards to young children, but did you know that window treatments are one such danger? In fact, statistics reveal that
multiple children die each year from strangulation injuries involving window shade cords. These are deaths that could have been prevented with child safe window treatments and preventative safety measures.
EcoSmart Insulating Shades continually strives to make its window coverings as child friendly as possible. Available at EcoSmartShades.com, the EcoSmart line offers a variety of safety features designed to add style to homes as well
as bring peace of mind to parents and caregivers. "We are committed to child safety," said EcoSmartShades.com President, Gordon Clements, "EcoSmart shades offer an attractive cordless cellular shade which provides safety and ease of operation. We are continuing to develop solutions that improve child safety in window fashions."
EcoSmart Cordless Cellular Shades are the premier child safe choice, combining the style and functionality of a cellular shade with the beauty of cord-free operation. Instead of relying on cords, which can entangle small children, a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail is all that's needed to raise and lower the shade.
The EcoSmart Cordless Hardware System is currently available in a variety of fabric styles, Light Filtering and BlackOut Double Honeycomb fabrics. These energy efficient cordless shades create elegant treatments which are beautifully child safe.
"We know that replacing window treatments is not a viable option for everyone," said Clements. If cordless window treatments cannot be purchased, Clements suggests that existing shades and blinds can be made more child safe with the addition of cord cleats and cord tensioners. When
using a cord cleat, the device is installed high and out of reach of small children and then the excess cord is wound around it. This prevents children from becoming entangled in the dangling cord. For a window treatment with a cord loop, a cord tensioner keeps the cord taught to prevent it from twisting and tangling. |
