Did you know that October is Child Safety Month? That means that now is a great time to raise awareness about common household items that are actually dangerous to both children and pets. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, window coverings with dangling cords are among the top five hidden hazards in American homes.
Hunter Douglas, the leader in child and pet safety, has made improvements to traditional window treatment operations, as well as providing cordless options to make your home safe from potential hazards. If you’re ready to buy new child-safe blinds or shades, we have many great options for you at Georgia Blinds & Interiors serving the greater Atlanta area.
