Child Safety
All our window blinds are designed with safety in mind and there are a number of options for you to choose from.
By law, all blinds fitted must be child-safe, whether or not you have children living with you.
CORDLESS OPERATING SYSTEMS
We offer a variety of child-safe blinds, that are operated without cords and chains, to best suit your needs and interior.
The motorisation range provides a variety of convenient yet affordable solutions for both domestic and commercial projects. Choose from the battery-powered Magic Wand, the rechargeable Lithium motor with remote control operation or the mains powered AC motor.
Perfect Fit® frame clicks into uPVC window and door frames. You have the choice between our roller, pleated, cellular or Venetian blinds, which are concealed neatly within the Perfect Fit frame.
Our vertical, panel and Allusion™ blinds can be used with mono command wand control
Roller blinds operated with our Soft Rise Spring Return system raise smoothly up to a pre-set upper stop when released
All other systems would have the necessary Child Safety devices fitted.
CHILD SAFETY DEVICES
Blinds with cords or chains must always be secured with a child safety device as the cords and chains pose a potential strangulation and entanglement hazard. A cord tidy must be fitted at a height of at least 1.5m from the floor.
Vertical and Allusion™ blinds will be fitted with a cord tidy.
Roller, Day & Night and Roman blinds must be fitted with either a cord tidy or Easybreak® connectors.
Our Pleated & Venetian blinds must be fitted with a cord safety tassel.
Easybreak® connectors are safety features for chain operation which disconnect when a certain amount of force is applied to the chain. If disconnection occurs accidentally these are easy to reconnect.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY STEPS
Keep all cords and chains out of reach of children using the Child Safety Devices.
Loose cords or chains should never be tied together and prevent loops from forming.
Furniture that children use or could climb on should be kept away from your windows.
In line with legislation, all Louvolite operating systems are compliant with the Child Safety Requirements of BS EN13120.
