It is important to choose the best window shades for law enforcement training centers. It will protect the staff and training area from the sun, as well as the environment. There are several different types of window coverings to choose from, including roller shades, cellular shades, Roman shades, and honeycomb shades. These are all great options, but which ones are the best?
Roller Shades
Using roller shades in law enforcement training centers is a great way to provide a safe, comfortable environment for students to learn. In addition to providing a great visual impact, these types of shades can help block the sun’s harmful UV rays. A window covering that adjusts itself is a great way of controlling temperature. There are many shades available, including pleated shades, Roman shades, and cellular shades. Each one can be made with a variety of different operating systems.
Roman shades and vertical blinds are usually coupled with a continuous-loop system. Other types of products have a more specific operating system. Accessible cords are often included with operating cords. This includes tension devices. Some discounted blinds have lift loops, depending on the style. The rear half of the loop raises or lowers the shade while the front half lowers.
Roman Shades
Having a Roman shade on your windows may not be for everyone, but in the world of window coverings, these are certainly worthy of their own article. They are not only attractive but also functional. You can adjust the amount of light coming into your home by raising, lowering, or pulling up on a cord.
The inner core is a fairly common part of many window coverings, but it is also a relatively dangerous component. Seven people have been killed by inner cords of Roman shades in the past. According to the National Institute of Justice it has been shown that the most common reason people die from the inner cord is when it is caught in the fabric. The most recent standard, the ANSI/WCMA-2018, is designed to help prevent this from happening. The standard requires cords to be at least eight inches long and to be able to be coiled into a loop.
Honeycomb Shades
WCMA approved the new version of the ANSI/WCMA standard in 2012, which included new requirements for performance and durability. It also included warning labels and installation instructions, as well new requirements for anchoring. In addition, the standard expanded testing requirements and introduced new requirements for wide lift bands.
Generally, most products containing window coverings have an operating cord and an inner cord. In some cases, the inner cords are exposed from the front, while in others, they may be hidden behind the shade. Some products may have more than one inner cord depending on the width of the window. A cord condenser is a small plastic device that combines multiple cords into one. You can also use a wand, which is a simple piece of plastic that can be used instead of a cord. Depending on the type of cord, you may also need to attach a warning label to the cords and on the product’s merchandising materials.
You may need to add additional inner cords for products with larger windows. A cord shroud, which covers the pull cord and operating cords, can be used in these cases.
