Choosing Pet-Friendly Window Coverings

If you’re in the market for new window coverings, one thing to consider is your pet’s safety and comfort. For example, window treatments to avoid would be mini blinds, fabric shades, fabric verticals, draperies, and corded blinds or shades. Luckily, there are plenty of attractive and pet-safe options out there; talk to a trained consultant at Windows to the World serving Wilkes Barre to find out what would be the best for your home.

Points to Consider

Pets love to see outside, so keep your blinds or shades raised partway to avoid your pet damaging your window coverings. Remember to select the right product and fabric to meet your pet’s personality. No window covering is completely safe from chewing and scratching, but you can take precautions to minimize the hazards.

Pet-Friendly Options From Hunter Douglas

Hunter Douglas, a leader in the window fashions industry, believes you don’t have to sacrifice beauty for safety. In fact, they take child and pet safety very seriously—from design to operating systems. Here are a few good choices:

  • Vertical Solutions Vinyl Blinds – An economical solution for sliding or patio doors. Available in 3 ½” slat size in an array of patterns and colors. If closed, your pets can nudge the slats to see outside and then they will fall back into place. The vinyl slats are also very easy to clean
  • Designer Roller & Screen Shades – Allows you to raise the shade to a comfortable position, so the pet can see out. They offer a sleek modern style with remarkably smooth operation, ease of lifting and the smallest light gap in the industry. Roller and screen shades are available in hundreds of fabric choices, opacities, textures, and solids. Pets can sneak behind the shade without the threat of the shade falling down
  • NewStyle™ Hybrid or Palm Beach™ Polysatin Shutters – Both are very durable and difficult for pets to maneuver open. Shutters can withstand slight to medium pressure. Available in grain-like finishes, whites and off-white colors, and three slat sizes

Lift Systems for Pet Safety

Hunter Douglas offers a wide selection of lifting systems to enhance child and pet safety. For the optimum in safety and convenience, choose motorization. Other options include retractable lift cords, cord tensioners, and wand controls.
