October Is National Window Covering Safety Month — Here’s Why It Matters for Your Home

October is National Window Covering Safety Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of child-safe, cord-free window treatments. At Valley Blinds, we take this message to heart — because safety, comfort, and style should all go hand in hand in your home.

Why Window Covering Safety Matters

For many families, blinds and shades are simply part of everyday life. But older window coverings with long cords can pose a serious risk to young children and pets. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) urge homeowners to replace these outdated products with modern cordless or motorized alternatives — safer options that not only protect your loved ones but also make your home easier to live in.

If your home still has older blinds or shades, this month is the perfect time to upgrade. At Valley Blinds, we specialize in custom window treatments that combine beauty, functionality, and peace of mind.

• Cordless Honeycomb Shades – Great insulation, smooth operation, and completely cord-free.

• Motorized Roller or Roman Shades – Operate with a remote, wall switch, or your favorite smart-home system.
