Hunter Douglas has led the window coverings industry in safety at the window. The Break-Thru® Safety Tassel, standard on horizontal blinds, helps prevent injury to children and pets by breaking apart under pressure. The PermAssure® wand control on Hunter Douglas vertical blinds eliminates cords and chains. Cord tensioners on Hunter Douglas pleated, honeycomb and Silhouette®, and Vignette® shadings keeps cord loops safely taut without interfering with smooth operation. And the PowerRise® system not only makes shades easy to operate, it completely eliminates the need for control cords.

UltraGlide™, a new safety feature available on Duette® honeycomb shades, is a special spring-loaded mechanism that raises and lowers honeycomb shades precisely and easily and retracts the lift cord to the same preset position whether fully raised, lowered, or anywhere in between. The new LiteRise feature allows you to raise and lower shades and blinds with just the touch of a finger. The LiteRise Touch System is available on select Hunter Douglas aluminum blinds, Duette honeycomb shades, Brilliance® pleated shades, and Country Woods® wood blinds.
