SafeGuard Child Safe Cellular Shades
Three Cordless Operating Systems
-
ZeroCord Spring‑Assisted Lift — A gentle push lowers the shade; a light tug raises it. No cords, no wands, no chains. The spring is calibrated to the exact weight of your shade. Ideal for standard widths up to 72 inches.
-
Cordless Wand Tilt (TDBU) — For top‑down/bottom‑up shades, a removable magnetic wand controls both rails. The wand attaches directly to the rail and can be stored on a high hook, safely out of children’s reach.
-
Motorization — Battery‑powered or hardwired motors eliminate all cords entirely. Control via remote, smartphone, or voice for the highest level of safety and convenience.
Certified “Best for Kids”
All SafeGuard operating systems are independently tested and certified by the Window Covering Safety Council under the “Best for Kids” program. This certification confirms that the shades contain no accessible cords in their fully assembled, installed state. Certification labels are affixed to every shade.
Retrofit Options for Existing Shades
Already own corded cellular shades? Upgrade them with our retrofit kits, which include new lift mechanisms, bottom rails, and installation instructions. Each retrofit takes about 20 minutes per shade and offers a cost‑effective path to child‑safe operation without replacing the entire window covering.
Pet‑Safe Too
Cordless shades protect more than children—they’re also safer for cats and dogs. Pets can become entangled in dangling cords, leading to injury or panic. SafeGuard shades eliminate this risk entirely, and the smooth bottom rail resists chewing far better than cords or chains.
No Compromise on Style
SafeGuard shades are available in every fabric, color, and cell configuration in our catalog. You never sacrifice aesthetics for safety. Cordless headrails are only about 0.25 inches deeper than corded versions, and motorized headrails are similarly compact. Many designers prefer the clean, minimalist look of cordless operation.
Compliance Documentation
For daycare centers, schools, and pediatric healthcare facilities, we provide certificates of compliance with ASTM F4006‑22 and 16 CFR 1260. These documents verify that SafeGuard shades meet the safety requirements for federally funded child‑care environments. Contact our commercial sales team for documentation.
Free Cord Cleats with Corded Orders
While cordless is always the safest option, some customers still prefer corded operation. All corded SafeGuard shades ship with free cord cleats and installation instructions. Cord cleats keep pull cords safely out of reach when the shade is raised—but cordless remains the recommended choice for any home with children or pets.
