Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters near Vista, California (CA)

Cordless Hunter Douglas Window Treatments

When it comes to both children and pets, cord-free is the safest option. Young children and small pets can become entwined in the loose hanging lines of traditionally corded operating systems, which creates a strangulation hazard. Window coverings with cord-free operating systems are a more child-safe window treatment option for families. Plus, anyone with cats knows that any hanging string or cord is just an open invitation for playtime, so there is a self-preserving quality for cordless Hunter Douglas window treatments in households with feline pets.

Shutters

Shutters are naturally cord-free as you control their louvers either with no tilt bar or with a tilt bar, not a corded operating system. Hunter Douglas makes three types of shutters (wood, faux-wood composite, and vinyl) that are excellent child- and cat-safe window treatments.

PowerView® Automation

This motorized operating system for Hunter Douglas window treatments transforms shades into cord-free, cat- and child-safe window treatments controlled through a handheld remote, online app, or through integration in home assistant programs or smart home systems. PowerView® Automation is available in select styles of cellular shades, shutters, Roman shades, blinds, vertical treatments, roller shades, sheer shades, and woven wood shades.

Durability with Hard Materials

Both kids and pets can be hard on household items, especially if they use materials that can't withstand heavy usage, resulting in early deterioration and the subsequent costly necessity of replacing the window treatments. This is why hard treatments like shutters and blinds are often preferred for households with pets and children, as their base materials, such as wood, composite faux wood, vinyl, and metal, are incredibly durable.
