Cordless Blinds
Cordless blinds operate without traditional pull cords, raised and lowered by lifting or pushing the bottom rail. This advancement eliminates the safety hazard of dangling cords while creating cleaner aesthetics—a development so important that corded blinds are now regulated or banned in many markets.
Beyond safety, cordless blinds offer cleaner appearance without hanging cords and simpler operation that anyone can manage. The spring-balanced mechanism holds blinds at any height without cords or locks. Most major manufacturers now offer cordless options across their product lines.

Placement & Usage Tips
Cordless blinds are essential in homes with children and pets. Choose spring strength appropriate for shade size and weight—too light and shades drift; too heavy and operation is difficult.
