Cellular Shades Control Options for Safety

Cellular shades have many options for control. Although some of those options include conventional cord controls, others utilize features that maximize safety while providing elegant displays and ease of use.

These cellular shades options are grouped into two categories:

  • Cordless – direct hand control
  • Ultraglide – a control option by Hunter Douglas that features a short cord that does not change length.

Cordless Cellular Shades

This option allows you to manipulate the height of the cellular shade without the use of cords. Available with many brands, the cordless cellular shades option means both safety and elegance. Not only does this option prevent unsightly cords from interfering with your décor, it also means a safer environment for both children and pets.

Cordless cellular shades give you direct control over the bottom of the shade. Although some of these cellular shades still have cords for the traditional look and feel, they're primary control is through direct contact with the base of the shade. Simply grab the bottom edge of the cellular shade and pull it up or down to raise or lower the shade. The fluid movement makes it easy to adjust the height of the cellular shade and the lack of long cords makes this feature a favorite for parents and pet owners.

Ultraglide Cellular Shades

Created specifically by the experts at Hunter Douglas, the patented Ultraglide cellular shades feature is designed to give you greater safety and a cleaner window decoration. This feature uses traditional cellular shades cord control but any excess cord is retracted back up into the cellular shade attachment at the top of the window. This means you get the ease of conventional cord control but the added safety of short cords.

The cord hangs only a short distance from the top of the window and poses no threat to children or pets. Unlike conventional cords that hang in pools at the bottom of the window, the Ultraglide cellular shades maintain a constant short cord length whether the shade is pulled open or closed.

Both the cordless and ultraglide cellular shades control options give you flexibility when considering a control option that best suits both your décor and the safely of your family. Both of these control options are available on a wide variety of shades so it's important to consider cellular shade cell counts and sizes prior to control options.
