October is Window Covering Safety Month

When window cords are within reach, young children may become entangled and accidentally strangle.
The Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) is dedicated to providing consumer information and educational materials on window-cord safety. They also offer consumers free retrofit devices for addressing potential cord hazards on older window treatments. Your child's safety is our top priority. Free retrofit kits can be ordered by calling their toll-free phone line at 1-800-506-4636.

Kids...Cords...Caution

We wish to take this opportunity to remind you to replace or retrofit corded window coverings purchased before 2001 with today's safer products. According to information provided by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, since 1990, more than 200 infants and young children have died from accidentally strangling in window cords. Please use the information presented here to keep your children safe from potential window-cord hazards.

Motorized Blinds

The future is here. The technology is unreal. This system can help you control the light in your life. You are literally moving and controlling energy and it's not as expensive as you may think!
Not only can you put in wind and sun sensors but this is a system that is a plug in play system (smart home) with 60 programmable multiple channel unit that will communicate with many other devices. You can add as many windows as you wish now and always add more later. You can motorize most window coverings and control them by a remote or a wall mount keypad. The hardwire or battery products combine to offer a motorized solution for nearly every application.


There are many reasons you may want to motorize your window coverings. Here are just a few examples.
It is a great security feature when you are away from home.
You can program it to close when it senses the sun and open again when it doesn't.
You can program it with the dawn to dusk mode where the light sensors will trigger the motor to shut your blinds at night and open them again in the morning.
You can control high windows with a touch of a button.
Huge energy savings.
Block UV rays.
Great for theater rooms.
Protect your investments. (Furniture & Antiques)

Green By Nature - Graber Products
By design, all window coverings are inherently "green" because they block solar heat gain and reduce UV damage inside the home. However, products from Graber not only are manufactured in high recycling facilities, but offer specific benefits and return on investment to consumers in the form of healthier, more energy-efficient homes.
Aurora Solar Screen Fabric by Insolroll is Greenguard Air Quality Certified and additionally has met the more stringent qualifications to be certified for Children and Schools. This makes it an excellent choice for projects demanding "green" fabrics.
