Child Safety

New Child Safety Standards - Effective December 2018

In 2018 the Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA) decided on new standards for child safety, to go into effect by December 15, 2018. The new guidelines state that cords on any custom-made window covering cannot be longer than 40% the height of the window covering, unless the customer specifically requests a custom cord length.

Child safety is of utmost importance to Lantex Window Fashions, and all our products align with the new WCMA standards. While these new guidelines are an improvement in child safety, we strongly advise you choose a cordless or motorized lift system for your window covering if you have children or pets in the home.
