Committed to Safety
As window treatment specialists, our top priority is the safety of your home, especially when young children and pets are present. Which is why we became safety certified and adhere to the ANSI/WCMA A 100.1-2012 safety standard, which ensures that all our window covering products are manufactured with cord safety in mind.
When helping you choose the best products for homes with young children, we only consider products that are identified in the Best for Kids certification program. This program, developed by WCMA (Window Covering Manufacturers Association), involves third-party certification and sets specific criteria for identifying window covering products that are most suitable for environments where young children are expected to be present.
