Dangling window cords pose a serious strangulation risk to young children and pets. Hunter Douglas leads the industry in cord-free solutions—from simple cordless lift systems to fully motorized automation. At Randall's, we help Ottawa families choose window treatments that are beautiful, functional, and safe for everyone in your home.
Window blind cords cause hundreds of child injuries and deaths each year in North America. Young children can become entangled in looped cords in seconds, and the results can be tragic. Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have issued repeated warnings about this hidden household danger.
The risk isn't limited to obvious pull cords. Inner lift cords, continuous loop cords, and even cords hidden behind furniture can pose dangers. The only way to eliminate the risk entirely is to choose window treatments without accessible cords—which is exactly what Hunter Douglas cordless and motorized options provide.
Hunter Douglas LiteRise® is the simplest cord-free solution. Instead of pulling a cord, you simply push up on the bottom rail to raise the shade, or pull down to lower it. The shade stays wherever you position it—no cords, no locks, no hazards. It's intuitive enough for children to operate safely.
LiteRise® is available on most Hunter Douglas shade products including Duette®, Silhouette®, Vignette®, and roller shades. It adds minimal cost compared to corded options and requires no batteries or power. For families who want safety without complexity, LiteRise® is the ideal solution.
PowerView® motorization eliminates cords entirely while adding the convenience of automated control. Shades operate via app, voice command, remote, or scheduled automation—no physical contact required. For families with young children, motorization provides both safety and lifestyle benefits.
Motorization is especially valuable for hard-to-reach windows where even cordless shades require stretching or climbing. With PowerView®, every shade in your home operates at the touch of a button—keeping children away from windows and furniture they might climb on to reach manual shades.
