Shade Safety
At Kluxe, we believe your home should be both beautiful and safe. Proper installation and use of window shades is essential to prevent accidents, especially in homes with children or pets.
Key Shade Safety Guidelines
1. Keep Cords Out of Reach
Operating cords, including pull cords and continuous loops, should always be secured out of reach of children. Consider using cord cleats, tension devices, or wall-mounted tie-downs.
2. Furniture Placement
Avoid placing cribs, beds, chairs, or toys near windows with cords or chains. Children can climb furniture and reach cords, which creates a serious safety hazard.
3. Continuous Loop Cord Safety
Install a tension device or cord restraint to prevent loops from creating a strangulation risk.
4. Verify Hardware Assembly
Ensure all cord stops, connectors, and components are correctly installed. Improper assembly can compromise both function and safety.
5. Use Safety Labels
Affix warning labels to all accessible cord bottom rails or hardware. These labels remind caregivers of proper safety precautions.
