Ensuring Safety in Your Home

At Everyday Blinds, the safety of your family, especially young children, is our top priority. We are committed to adhering to the highest safety standards, ensuring that all our products are designed with child safety in mind. Our blinds are rigorously tested to comply with the British and European safety standard EN 13120:2009 + A1:2014, which specifically addresses child safety.

Built-in Safety Mechanisms

To minimise the risk of accidents, all our blinds come equipped with built-in safety features. These include mechanisms designed to keep cords and chains out of the reach of children. Additionally, any chains or cords provided with our blinds are limited to a maximum length of one meter, further reducing the risk of entanglement.

Child Safety Tips

Children are naturally curious and love to explore their surroundings. However, certain household items, including blinds, can pose potential risks. To help you keep your home safe, we recommend the following tips:

  • Keep Cords and Chains Out of Reach: Ensure that all window blind cords and chains are kept out of reach of babies and small children to prevent the risk of strangulation or entanglement.

  • Rearrange Furniture: Move any furniture, such as chairs, beds, and cots, away from windows and blinds. This will prevent children from climbing up and reaching cords.

  • Avoid Tying Cords Together: Never tie cords or chains together as this can create dangerous loops.

  • Prevent Twisting: Regularly check that cords do not twist and form a loop that could pose a hazard.

  • Choose Safe Blinds: When purchasing new blinds, ensure they come with built-in safety devices, as all of our products do.

  • Follow Installation Instructions: Proper installation is crucial. Make sure you follow all instructions carefully to ensure your blinds and their safety devices are securely in place.

Additional Resources

For more information on child safety at home, we recommend visiting the British Blinds and Shutters Association (BBSA) website. The BBSA is the UK’s leading trade association for companies that manufacture and supply interior and exterior blinds, awnings, security grilles, and shutters.

The BBSA leads the Make It Safe campaign, which raises awareness about the potential dangers of window blind cords and chains and provides valuable resources to help keep your home safe.
