• Manufacturer coordination - if a manufacturer warranty claim is needed, we file the claim directly with Hunter Douglas or Alta Window Fashions on your behalf. You do not need to contact the manufacturer yourself.
• Resolution - once replacement parts or products are received, we schedule the repair or replacement installation at a time convenient for you.

ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 Child Safety Compliance

Every window treatment installed by Discount Best Blinds and Shutters complies with the current ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 child safety standard, established by the Window Covering Manufacturers Association. This standard sets performance and safety requirements for all window covering products sold in the United States, with a primary focus on eliminating accessible operating cords that pose strangulation hazards to young children.

Our commitment to child safety means we prioritize cordless lift systems, motorized operation, and wand-tilt controls across our product offerings. Hunter Douglas products including Duette® Honeycomb Shades with LiteRise®, Silhouette® with UltraGlide®, and all PowerView® motorized products meet or exceed current safety standards.
