Blind Cord Options For Venetian, Roman And Other Blinds And Shades
Whatever type of blinds you may have you are likely to have cord of some sort to operate them. Blind cord is the most common way of opening and closing Venetian, roman or other window blinds. However not all cords are the same nor even the same type, so will vary according to the type of blinds or shades that you have. Another angle you have to consider is safety, as loop cords in particular can be lethal, and have caused two child deaths in the UK recently.
There is no reason to buy blinds or shades that are unsafe; just inquire about safety standards when purchasing any type of window blinds and avoid loop blind cord. The coroner in the case of the two children who died in the UK, in separate incidents, called for the loop blind cord to be banned. If you have children in the house at any time then avoid loop cords to be safe.
Finding window blind cord to replace existing cord is not difficult. There are sites on the Internet like WindowBlindService that supply all types of cords for installation and replacement purposes. By and large, though, if you buy new blinds or shades the cord will come included in the price, but be sure to check that is the case. If at all possible find a window shades and blinds specialist store or showroom where you can try the different cord systems for yourself. First hand experience before buying is far better than looking at a picture online or even in a brochure.

Blind cord comes especially designed for particular types of blinds. For example, you can get pleated shade cord in many colors, mini blind, Roman blind and Venetian blind cords are readily available; there are also vertical track and luminette track systems. If it all sounds a bit too technical and you are not a DIY type then get any repairs and installation done professionally to be sure you do not waste your money on either cord or the blinds themselves. |
