A trade association for window covering manufacturers and suppliers that works on safety standards, industry education and consumer information.
The Window Covering Manufacturers Association is a trade association for companies that make window coverings and the parts and fabrics that go into them. It takes part in developing safety standards and publishes information about products and industry practices. Homeowners in Nashville sometimes read its material to understand how blinds and shades are made and what safety features are available.
For a window treatment project, the association is useful as background on safety features, product types and terminology. It does not sell to the public or replace advice about your own windows. We use the same vocabulary when we explain lift systems, cord safety and styles, and we are glad to walk you through what the labels and terms mean.
