The decision of this blind recall has been made by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, in consultation with US window blind industry.

It has been publicized that every roller and Roman shade must be recalled from the market to avoid any possible hazards by the control panel of the window blind. It has been reported that around 49 Million window blind sets have been recalled.

The actual culprit is the window blind cord, that has caused severe injuries & deaths by hanging down & entrapping kids. Research suggested that the cords were hanging down & caused injuries to 16 children, and the 8 who died.

US consumer Product Safety Commission has announced that there are repair kits for consumers to fix the issues. CPSC also stopped retailers from further sales, and also asked them to recall from the market as well. The authorities also noted that after the blind recall announcement, numerous retailers were working on their own recollect the blinds from the market.

Many bedrooms and most basement rooms present high window, or a narrow strip of windows. To best dress these panes, think about the other elements in the room. For instance, if you place a piece of furniture under the window, a fitted covering such as shutters, shades or blinds will stay out of the way of the furnishings. For custom blind, shutter or shade installation in bellevue, seattle and most of the greater Puget Sound Area contact Major Blinds.

Casement Windows:

Standard casement windows swing out, and can be treated similarly to a single window. There is one special consideration in a casement’s case, however. The covering you choose should mount on the outside so that it falls over the windows cranking mechanism.

French Doors:

Although an architectural asset, French Doors can be tough to treat. They combine the problems of outfitting in-swinging casement windows with those of covering sliding glass doors. The solutions? For a look that won’t interfere with the architecture, mount blinds or shades on each door.

Palladian or Oddly Shaped Windows:

Shapely windows have long been used to add drama to a home’s design, in traditional architecture as well as in the most up-to-the-minute construction. The trick to treating these special panes is to flow with the curve – or bend with the angle – of the opening. Where privacy and light control are needed, custom fitted shades or blinds will do the trick with altering the window’s shape. For custom blind installation, contact Major Blinds.

If you’re dressing a single window, consider first its size. Does the window look small compared to the size of your furnishings or the room itself? Give it fullness with tiebacks or flowing curtains. If its scale matcher other elements, treat it simply with a shade or a top treatent. For the drama of height, mount the rod higher than the top of the window.

Matched Series:

A series of windows not only offers a room an eye-grabbing focal point, it invites light and beauty of the outdoors inside. Even more, this type of window offers you a hot of decorating options. Multiple windows, however, do demand that you make a decorating decision. Do you treat each window as a separate unity or unify the series into a single design element. To reach a conclusion, think about your room’s style. In a clean-lined contemporary setting, the geometic look of a bank of windows can be an asset. To get the full architectural impact, try a top treatment only. A valance or cornice adds a punch of interest and color to the blank expanses of glass, without masking the window’s design. Need more privacy, light control or energy efficiency? Shades and blinds mounted inside each window’s molding perform those tasks, and still offer a tailored look.

Corner Windows:

Mirror-image dressings allow you to treat corner windows separately, but achieve the effect of a single design. Be sure that blinds or shades draw to the outside, and blinds raise and lowers without clashing.

Bay Windows:

Like its cousin the corner window, a bay window demands separate but equal treatment. Like its other cousins in a matched series, there are many ways to treat bays, depending on the look you’re after. To keep things clean, stick with shades or blinds.

Sliding Doors:

Sliding glass doors present a unique decorating situation. Because they are doors, a covering must allow them to open and close freely. Yet, as windows, they still require a dressing that wenhances their apprearance and provides privacy and light control. Finally, because glass is a poor insulator, you should also choose a treatment with energy savings in mind. Blinds of all kinds, fabric shades and sliding panels are options to consider.
