Cordless blinds are a stylish and safe option for most windows. If you are used to standard corded blinds, though, figuring out how to operate a cordless window treatment can seem confusing. The good news is that operating most cordless blinds is actually very easy. Standard cordless blinds simply pull up and down to open and close. Motorized cordl...
Gently pull down the rail down to close the blinds.
If your cordless blinds have a rail system, gently pull down on the rail to close your blinds. It should be a very easy and natural pull. If you encounter a lot of resistance when trying to close your blinds, they may be broken or incorrectly installed.
If your blinds are installed hanging from the top of your window, the rail should be at the base of your slats or shade. If your blinds are installed at the bottom of your window, the rail should be at the top of your slats or shade.
If you are having trouble lowering your blinds with the rail, contact the company that installed them or your local window treatment store to get an inspection.
Lift the rail up to open the blinds.
To open the blinds, simply lift the rail upwards. You can open the blinds completely or partially, just as you would with standard blinds. Just like closing the blinds, opening them should be a smooth and easy motion.
Use your remote or smart device to control the blinds.
If your cordless blinds are motorized, you can typically use a device to open and close them. Some blinds may only work with the remote provided at installation. Others may be compatible with a smart device such as a phone, tablet, or smart home hub.
The control should have clearly labeled buttons or commands that indicate the direction of the blinds.
If you are using a smart device to control your blinds, you may have to download a manufacturer-specific app. Look at your manufacturer's instructions to see what app you need and how to link your blinds with your specific smart device.
If you are unsure how to control your motorized blinds, read over the instruction information provided by the manufacturer or talk to a customer service agent form your local blinds store.
Use a button to control your blinds when you don’t have the remote.
Use the guiding wand to move the shades left or right.
Panel track blinds are another type of shade that do not involve cords. Unlike other types of cordless blinds, they do not move up or down. Instead, you simply use the guiding wand located at the top of the shade to move them left or right.
Gently pull the panels with your hand if they do not have a wand.
If your panels do not come with a wand to pull them open and closed, you can gently slide them along the track with your hand. The slide should be smooth and involve little physical exertion.
If you notice your panels don’t drag smoothly or take considerable effort to move, there may be a problem with the shade rail or the track. Talk to a window treatment store or installer in your area about an inspection.
Individually adjust your panels if you have more than one.
