Applause® Honeycomb Shades
The dangling cords on many window treatments can be one of the biggest home health hazards for small children and pets. If you haven’t updated your window treatments, now is a great time. One way to do it is to retrofit your current window treatments with a Safe-T-Wand. It is one of the newest and most cost-effective lifting systems on the market today. There are a couple choices.
- The fashion wand is encases hanging, dangling, and strangling cords
- The ProLift™ system is what you use for woven wood and Roman shades; it will lock the strings in place so your children can’t get their head in the cords
