Growing up, my mom always told me that change was inevitable, it will come whether we want it or not. It\u2019s best to embrace it and hopefully grow to look forward to it. Even better if you love it. The key to embracing change is to be ahead of it, plan for it, ingest as much knowledge as you can and strive to be better than the day before. Then maybe, just maybe, it won\u2019t be so difficult when change comes.<\/p>\n
Sometimes that means letting go of things that we\u2019ve come to rely on to make way for a better future. Why am I rambling on about change? Well\u2026<\/p>\n
We have a BIG announcement in the world of windows, one that is impactful no matter how you look at it. Rooted in safety and a long time coming, the industry will be eliminating a lift option that dates to the beginning of Blinds (over two centuries). Effective 6\/1\/2024, per mandatory guidelines regarding child safety from the Window Covering Manufacturing Association, all Cord Lock Lift options (pulling your lift cord to the side to lock your window covering in place) will be discontinued. This is an industry-wide change, meaning these products will no longer be available for sale in the U.S and all companies who manufacture, distribute, or sell window coverings in the U.S. must comply with new standard by 6\/1\/24.<\/p>\n
