BALLOON
The Balloon is a voluminous Roman Shade that adds dramatic dimension and Old World charm to any room. Highly decorative, the Balloon’s formal, classic appearance is created by deep, inverted pleats that fall into tailored pouffs when drawn. Consider wrinkling and weight of fabrics as Balloon can be very heavy to raise.
- Soft pliable fabrics recommended
- Heavier fabrics require dressing in
- Lined or unlined
- Inside or outside mount – excellent top treatment
- Blackout lining creates stiffer shade

SAFETY
In 2015, the Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA) introduced the industry’s first, 3rd party certification program designed to help consumers and retailers identify window coverings best suited for homes with young children.
- Install only cordless window covering in children’s sleeping areas.
- Move all cribs, beds, furniture and toys away from windows, and window coverings with cords – or replace with cordless versions.
- Keep all window pull cords and inner lift cords out of reach of children.
- Secure tasseled pull cord and inner lift cords.
- Ensure all continuous loop cords are permanently anchored to floor or wall.
- Ensure all cord stops are properly installed and adjusted to limit movement of inner lift cords.
- Lock cords into position whenever shades are lowered, including when resting on window sill.
- Never mount products with accessible back cords within reach of children.
- Replace window blinds, corded shades and draperies manufactured prior to 2001 with today’s safer products.
As part of compliance with WCMA’s child safety standards, all Carol’s Roman Shades are delivered with appropriate safety and warning labels in accordance with the latest Consumer Product Safety Council and the WCMA.
We also offer cordless and motorized window treatments for enhanced safety.
