Window Coverings for Homes With Pets
When we talk about pets in the home, it is important that our furry friends feel comfortable and safe. Window treatments can present some hidden dangers, so it’s important to consider how a cat or dog might be harmed when you make your product choice. Hunter Douglas, the leader in window fashions innovation, believes you don’t have to sacrifice beauty for safety—you can have both! If you would like to know what might be best for your specific pet, speak with a trained professional at Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area. We’ll be happy to help.
Pet-Safe Options
Pets love to see outside, so keep your blinds or shades raised partway to avoid your pet damaging your window coverings. One good choice for that is Designer Roller & Screen Shades which allow 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. For durability, choose Duette® Honeycomb Shades which, with the top-down/bottom-up feature with LiteRise® cordless system, gives you the best of all worlds. Honeycomb shades cover the entire window, so dogs tend not to bother them. For an economical solution for sliders or patio doors, look at Vertical Solutions Vinyl Blinds. 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.
Operating Systems With Safety in Mind
The operating system is just as important as the product itself. Hunter Douglas offers a wide selection of lifting systems to enhance child and pet safety, such as:
- Cordless
- Motorization
- Retractable lift cords
- Cord tensioners
- Wand controls
