What Are Cordless Blinds?
You’ve seen and have probably even had blinds in the past. Don’t they need cords to operate? Blinds are strung on cords, but you don’t absolutely have to have cords to raise them. Window covering creators have adapted a variety of ways to have blinds that operate in a cordless fashion, making them look nicer and act safer for children and pets within a home.
There are a few different ways that cordless blinds can work and each style has it’s own function. In the end, they all have the same style in that they don’t have cords to lift or tilt the blinds. Keep in mind that cordless blinds are a type of window covering that shades the windows and still has cords, but those cords are inside the blind. Instead of a pulley function on the outside of the blind, you might be able to lift and hold a button to allow the tension in the strings to release. Then, you can lift and lower the blinds with a simple push. Once you let go of the button, the cord tenses up again and locks the blinds into place.
Some cordless blinds also allow you to just lift the bottom rail to the height where you want it to go. It will then hold itself in place. You can lift it all the way, halfway, or anywhere in between to let in your desired about of light. Then there are the blinds that have a spring tension function, kind of like a projector screen. You pull down on the shade and it springs back up to wherever you want it to go.
