Child Safety: Fitting and Using Window Blinds Safely

Window blinds may not seem like an obvious hazard, but they can pose serious risks to young children, especially the cords, tapes, and chains used to operate them. At Ezifit Blinds, we are deeply committed to your family’s safety. That’s why every product we offer is designed with safety in mind, ensuring peace of mind without compromising style or quality.

Meeting the Highest Safety Standards

All our blinds and curtains meet the rigorous European Standard BS EN 13120 for both performance and safety as a minimum requirement. However, our commitment doesn’t stop there. Safety is integral to our design process, and we continuously strive to create products that blend aesthetic appeal, functionality, and child-friendly features.

Safety Guidelines for Fitting Child Safety Devices

Proper installation and use of child safety devices can significantly reduce potential risks. The instructions provided with your blinds offer clear guidance on how to install these devices correctly. Be sure to read and follow these instructions carefully, and retain the leaflet for future reference.

Practical Tips to Reduce Risks at Home

While our products are designed to prioritize safety, there are additional steps you can take to create a safer environment for your children:

• Rearrange Furniture: Move beds, cots, and other furniture away from windows to prevent children from accessing blinds.
• Secure Cords and Chains: Always keep cords, tapes, and chains out of reach of children. Use cord cleats, tensioning devices, or other safety mechanisms provided with your blinds to secure them.
• Avoid Tying Loose Cords: Never tie cords or chains together, as this can create loops that pose a strangulation risk.
• Inspect Safety Devices Regularly: If child safety devices are not used frequently, check their condition periodically and replace them if they show signs of wear or damage.
