Safe, Convenient Control for Window Shades
Retractable cord operation is a lift system designed with child safety in mind. To comply with Canadian child safety regulations, the operating cord automatically retracts into the headrail when released, keeping the accessible cord length short. This design provides smooth, easy operation while maintaining a clean appearance and enhanced safety for homes with children and pets.
This lift system is popular with Honeycomb and Privacy Sheers.
Because the cord remains at a consistent length, retractable cord systems offer simple, intuitive operation with reduced accessible cord exposure.
How Does Retractable Cord Operation Work?
To lower the shade, simply pull down on the cord or wand. To raise the shade, pull the cord or wand again and guide the shade to the desired position.
When released, the operating cord automatically retracts back into the headrail, keeping it neatly out of the way.
As a result, homeowners enjoy precise light control without long, dangling cords.
