Blinds, Shades, Shutters & Fabrics

Santa Barbara & Ventura Counties

The Blind Guy is a family owned business providing blind, shades, shutters and fabrics. Owner, Bob Gross, has the knowledge and experience to help you select the right window treatments for your home or office. Because he does not use sub-contractors or commissioned employees, the installation of your new blinds, shades, shutters or fabrics will be done by the owner - which is important. It means it will be done right. In an age of automated everything and impersonal customer service, The Blind Guy is a throw-back to a time when owners took pride in their work.

How can I tell if my window coverings pose a potential safety hazard?

September 15, 2014  /  Robert Gross

Older corded window coverings may have looped pull cords or accessible inner cords that could pose a strangulation risk to small children. In addition, tasseled pull cords need to be as short as possible so they are well out of the reach of children. Parents and caregivers are urged to check their corded window coverings for potential cord hazards and to retrofit or replace them with today’s safer products. 

Government safety officials and the WCSC (The Window Covering Safety Council ) recommend that only cordless window treatments be used in homes with infants and young children. Almost every type of corded window fashion is now available in a cordless style. In addition, traditionally non-corded window coverings, such as curtains, spring-loaded roller shades and shutters are always options for consumers.
