Even more to love about wire free motorized shades
You can’t talk about motorized window treatments without touching on the fact that they are also inherently cord-free, and therefore the best choice for child safety. Kids and pets can and do have all sorts of mishaps with the cords in window shades, and that makes cord-free motorized shades all the more attractive and beneficial for homes with kids, both human or furry. If you don’t have either, you may someday sell your home to someone who does, so motorized shades are a smart, forward-thinking choice whatever your situation. And kids or not, who doesn’t like a little bit of luxury and convenience?
