Child Safe Blinds: What Brisbane Parents Need to Know 

Australian standards require window coverings to be child safe. Loose cords and chains are a strangulation hazard for young children, and every year there are incidents in Australian homes that could have been prevented with the right products.

The safest option is cordless. Motorised blinds and motorised curtains have no cords at all. The motor does all the work via remote, app, or voice control. This is the safest setup for homes with young children.

If you choose manual blinds, we install chain tensioners and cord cleats as standard on all our products . Chain tensioners hold the chain taut against the wall so it cannot form a loop. Cord cleats wrap the excess cord out of reach. Both are required under Australian standards for corded blinds.

Spring loaded roller blinds eliminate the chain entirely. You pull the blind down to lower it and tap the bottom rail to retract it. No chain, no cord, no hazard.

We take child safety seriously. Every product we install meets current Australian safety standards. If you have young children and older blinds with loose cords, contact us for an assessment. Upgrading to compliant products is straightforward and could prevent a serious accident.
