Roman Shades - Child Safety

Vignette With Top Down / Bottom Up

Many of you have heard about the recall of and halt of sales on Roman Shades by now.  By issue is the exposed cording on the back side of MOST Roman Shades, it exposes children to an unnecessary level of risk. There is only ONE product line that was exempt from the recall…Vignette® Modern Roman Shades by Hunter Douglas®.  The special design of the Vignette® Modern Roman Shades places the lifting cords safely between the lining and the main fabric to increase child cord safety.  Add an additional level of safety by using the LiteRise cordless or PowerRise® 2.0 with PlatinumTM Technology.

All Roman Shade products are still available for the those consumers without small children, however we will ask you to sign a liability waiver before installation as it has become clear that traditional Roman Shade designs have safety concerns above that of average products.

This product offers 11 fabric pattern choices with 8-12 color choices in each pattern.
