Why Cordless Blinds Are A Great Option For Your Home 
What are Cordless Blinds? 
Traditional window blinds have a dangly cord handing at the side that is used to move the blinds up 
and down or to angle the slats on a Venetian or vertical blind.  
This simple feature is what makes blinds so great for privacy and shading your room from blinding 
sunlight.  
As technology has advanced, blind designers have found ways to control blinds without the need for 
a cord.  
Benefits of Cordless Blinds? 
The main benefits of picking a cordless blind for your home is safety and aesthetics. 
Safety Benefits 
Blinds with cords can be unsafe for homes with small children. You have to be careful to ensure the 
cord is out of reach of any small child or even pets for their own safety.  Unfortunately, there have 
been cases where a child has been badly hurt by being caught in the cord when playing with it.  
A child or pet playing with the cord can also damage or break the blinds. 
Cordless blinds are much safer as they don’t have that tempting dangly cord. 
Aesthetics of a Cordless Blind 
To put it simply a cordless blind, looks better.  Just by removing a cord, the blind immediately looks 
like a premium, luxury product. 
Not having cords at the side of the blind, makes it look tidier and far more aesthetically pleasing. If 
you like a minimalist look or contemporary interior design, then a cordless blind will fit perfectly. 
Hopefully, you are now persuaded by the benefits of a cordless blind. Next, you have to decide 
which style of blinds will suit your decor and requirements. Most types of window blinds are now 
also available with a cordless option. 
 
 
 
 
 
Types of Cordless Blinds? 
The range of blinds available with cordless options is increasing all the time.  
Perfect Fit Blinds 
Our most popular at Forth Blinds, is our Perfect Fit blinds which are made specifically for uPVC 
windows and doors.  Their frame fits perfectly into the window frame and to open and close them 
you simply push them up or down using the small handle at the bottom.  This is also used to tilt the 
slats in a Venetian blind. 
 
Cordless Roller & Venetian Blinds 
Roller and Venetian blinds can be upgraded to be cordless. Instead of a cord, they will have a bar 
along the bottom of the blind which is used to move the blind up and down.  
Cordless Vertical Blinds 
Vertical blinds can be installed with a wand instead of a cord.  The wand will still hang at the side like 
a cord but it is much safer and sturdier.  
Motorised Blinds 
At Forth Blinds, we recommend motorised blinds as a cordless option. Of course, many people 
choose them so that they can control them with a remote control or even by voice using Amazon 
echo or Google Home, but they also come with the added benefit of being cordless.  As the blinds 
are battery operated, there is no need for mains wiring which makes them more affordable than you 
might imagine.  Motorised blinds can also be controlled remotely from an app or set on a timer. This 
is perfect when you are away from home and want to make your home looked lived in.
