Overview
Designed for real windows, crafted to the millimetre.
In May 2022 Canada introduced a law to protect children from window-covering cords, and the United States followed with its own rules about a year later. Fenstermann responded with the first child and pet safe shade that still opens both bottom-up and top-down.
Our tension-corded design has no free-hanging strings, loops or chains that could cause harm. The invention passed the regulations in October 2022 and is approved as a child safe blind and shade.
In 2021 the design earned the ‘Best of Blind’ award from Archello by public vote — the industry's reference for new products in construction and design.
Safety shouldn't be a luxury: our child safe shades cost the same as our standard adhesive-strip blinds and shades.
