Child Safe Blinds

Safety is Paramount

We only supply blinds with child safety features built in – in line with the latest European regulations. If you are buying a new window covering for a child’s room, then you should consider designs that work without cords or chains. All of our blind styles can be made either completely cordless, or with a tab or wand type controller. You might want to consider our PerfectFit blinds which are installed into a made-to-measure casing, or our motorised blinds which can be opened and closed at the touch of a button.

Our standard Roman, Venetian, Wood Venetian and free-hang pleated blinds are installed with a cleat for the controls to be wrapped around. This device is fitted at a height of at least 1.5 metres from the ground. Our Roller, Vertical and deluxe Roman blinds are fitted with a hook to keep the controls taut. Breakaway components are another safety feature of child safe blinds, which sense when a certain amount of force is placed upon them. These are also easy to reassemble if you pull a control too hard and they end up breaking away accidentally.

There is lots of information and advice out there about child safety in the home – and there is a dedicated website and brochure available specifically about window blind safety.
