Creating a Perfect Home With These Pet-Friendly Blinds

Our furry friends bring immeasurable joy and companionship to our lives and, as pet owners, it’s essential to create a pet-friendly, safe, and comfortable environment for them to enjoy whether you are in the next room or out for the day.

When it comes to home décor, one frequently forgotten aspect is window treatments. The most common complaint we get from our animal-owning clients is the fact that their four-legged friends enjoy nothing more than denting, damaging, or completely destroying these dressings – making them out of pocket and always on the search for pet-friendly alternatives.

In this blog post, we review our range of pet-friendly blinds and the numerous benefits they offer. From ensuring the safety of your pets to preserving the quality of your windows, we have everything you need to decorate and secure your dwellings.

Roller blinds: for added safety and certainty

When it comes to pets, their safety is a top priority. Conventional blinds with cords can pose a significant hazard to curious cats and energetic dogs. Pets can become entangled in the cords, leading to potential injuries or even fatal accidents. That’s where roller blinds can provide a safer solution.

All our roller blinds can be installed with pre-designed safety mechanisms that eliminate cords, ensuring your pets can roam freely without any risk. However, roller blinds are in a category all of their own, as their variety of fabrics, style, and lengths can cover a wide range of window fittings and use a spring-loaded mechanism or motorised operation, to control the blinds effortlessly while removing any potential entanglement hazards.

Wooden Venetian blinds: for durability and resistance

Some pets, especially playful ones, can unintentionally cause damage to your window treatments. Whether it’s scratching, clawing, or chewing, some flimsier blinds may not withstand the antics of your furry friends. Wooden Venetian blinds are made in the traditional style but their material adds durability to your windows.

Venetian blinds are typically made of pet-friendly materials like sturdy vinyl, PVC, or aluminium. What sets wooden Venetian blinds apart is their ability to withstand additional weight and they won’t bend due to inquisitive paws. 

Furthermore, these blinds can be covered with a scratch-resistant coating, ensuring that even the most determined scratchers won’t leave a mark. Additionally, these pet-friendly blinds are designed to be insulative, making them an excellent choice for draughty conservatories which may be a favourite area for your sun-loving pets.

Vertical blinds: for structure and function

While not a favourite for their aesthetic value, vertical blinds are a pet-friendly option for animals that enjoy looking out of the window. 

Vertical blinds maintain privacy for windows and glass doors while also controlling the amount of light entering your space. What makes them a favourite amongst pets is their accessibility as they’re lighter and easier to manoeuvre without the issue of becoming tangled. 

With adjustable slats or various opacity levels in fabrics or wood, you can easily control the amount of light filtering through the blinds. This feature allows you to create a cosy and comfortable environment for your pets while maintaining privacy.
