Renewed Horizontal Blind "Silky" with Cordless "Handle Operation" to Accommodate Child-Rearing Households

Tachikawa Blind Industry Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Capital: 4.475 billion yen; Representative Director, President, and Executive Officer: Hisaya Ikezaki) will renew its horizontal blind "Silky" and release it on Friday, May 1, 2026.

■Growing Demand for Safety Designs Considering Children and Pets

In recent years, in spaces such as homes, stores, and medical facilities that are regularly used by children and the elderly, window interior treatments are required to consider not only light control and privacy but also safety and ease of operation. Interest is growing in blind products with safety-conscious designs and specifications that are easy for anyone to use. Furthermore, from the perspective of time performance (typa), which streamlines daily tasks and allows for intuitive handling in a short time, simple and easy-to-understand operability is emphasized.

Against this backdrop, Tachikawa Blind Industry Co., Ltd. has renewed its horizontal blind "Silky," which offers a wide lineup according to window size and purpose, and has newly added "handle operation." The handle operation, which allows for intuitive and smooth operation without cords or chains, achieves both safety and operability.

■Achieving Intuitive Operation through Cordlessness, Creating Window Treatments That Are Easy for Anyone to Handle and Consider Safety

The "handle operation" being added this time is an operation method that involves moving the handle located at the bottom of the blind up and down for raising and lowering, with no operating cords, resulting in a clean design. Simply by lightly operating the handle, the blind can be opened and closed to the desired position, making it easy to handle even with one hand and allowing for intuitive operation. It is also characterized by smooth opening and closing with minimal movement. This specification is suitable not only for residential spaces such as dining rooms and living rooms in households with young children but also for non-residential spaces such as clinics and stores.

■SIAA Certified Antibacterial Processing for Environments That Easily Accommodate Cleanliness in Daily Use

Targeting slats treated with titanium oxide and fluorine coating, antibacterial processing is applied to the operating pole and handle that are touched during operation, and the SIAA mark has been obtained. This specification takes hygiene into consideration not only for homes but also for scenes where many different people operate the blinds, such as in stores and medical facilities.
