Cordless Blinds & Shades
Cord-Free Blinds & Shades Offer Safety & Convenience
Have you been considering going cordless? Traditionally, blinds and shades
feature a lift cord to raise and lower them, but these dangling strings
can often be a tangled, messy eyesore or—worse—a serious safety
hazard. Cordless window treatments offer a way to simplify your window
coverings, eliminating lift cords and allowing easy, one-handed raising
and lowering. Read on to learn more about this popular and convenient option.

How Do Cordless Blinds Work?
Cordless blinds aren’t entirely cordless—they still have strings inside, connecting the slats and holding them in place. However, cordless blinds don’t use a cord to lift or lower, and often don’t have a wand to tilt the slats open or closed. Instead, you simply push up or pull down on the bottom rail to adjust the blinds to your desired position. Some styles have a locking mechanism on the bottom rail, which involves pressing a button while moving the blinds to the perfect height, then releasing the button to lock them in place. To open or close the slats without a wand, you tilt the bottom rail forward or backward. Operation is simple and can generally be done one-handed.

How Do You Raise & Lower Cordless Shades?
Depending on the style, cordless shades may operate using spring tension
like a projector screen, rolling up or down with a gentle tug, or they
may be raised and lowered simply by guiding the bottom rail, similar to
cordless blinds. Cordless shades are often available in a top-down/bottom-up
design, which means you can easily position both the top and the bottom
of the shade. This is ideal for allowing full light at the top of the
window while retaining privacy from the lower section, along with a number
of other scenarios.
Many of our most popular shade styles are cordless or available with a cordless option, including:
