Meet Andrew!

Erin Moriarty Leave a comment

A company is only as good as its team members and we have an all-star team. And we would like to introduce you to Andrew, or Drew if you’re into the whole brevity thing…

Hiking near Killington, VT on an early Autumn day.

“Hi, I’m Andrew and I work in customer service here at SymphonyShades.com! When I’m not helping our customers get the absolute most from their shades, you can find me roaming around the various wooded walking and hiking trails in and around northern Vermont on foot, cross country skis or my fat bike.

If the weather isn’t so great (which happens from time to time here in the Green Mountain State ?) I like to read science fiction and fantasy novels, and play games (video games, board games, Dungeons and Dragons; ALL of them!). I also appreciate anything and everything McElroy related.”

Hiking along the Long Trail in Hancock,Vermont,

What do you love about working at Symphony Shades?”

“One of the best parts about providing customer service here at SymphonyShades.com is chatting with all the people who have our shades in their homes for DECADES.  They often think that because a cord broke, or because their cat loves to hang off of the shade, that they will need to replace the shades entirely.  Which is SO not true! Helping people repair/refresh these shades to their former glory,  and proving the longevity of our shades always brings a smile to my face.” ?

So the next time you call, email or chat with Andrew, you can put a face to the name!

Child Safety With Cellular Shades

Emily Adsit Leave a comment

Child Safety is important to anyone who lives with or cares for a small child. Too many reports show children getting caught up in strings and cords, with unfortunate consequences. Our Standard shades come with equalizer boxes, or cord connectors: different names – same purpose! These handy little boxes, which look more like maracas, connect cord ends and come apart with slight pressure.
Maybe you have a rascal of a cat who loves to jump around and get hung up in the cords? Well her fun will soon be over because it doesn’t take a ton of pressure to detach. We also offer cord cleats which allow you to wrap your cords in a figure 8 pattern, to help keep them secure on the wall. Even if cords aren’t your worry, or even what you fancy, we have plenty of other options to choose from. Smoothy Cord loops have a rope-look and Cordless shades have no cords!

Another advantage of our cellular shades is the design of the actual shade. It is a solid finish, with no gaps and spaces. Blinds for instance, open up to let the light in, through horizontal panels, but those gaps are another hazard for a child. Not to mention, blinds are often hard to the touch made of aluminum which can cause more pain to anyone or any animal getting caught between the panels.
Our cellular shades are some of the safest shades by our standards. If secured properly, and using the best cord feature for your needs, you can be sure to have a pleasant experience for everyone in the family.
