Child Safety
Paull’s Blinds are committed to child safety
Paull’s Blinds are committed to child safety when it comes to fitting your window coverings. Our products are all fitted to European safety legislation.
When purchasing a Roller, Venetian, Wooden, Roman or Pleated blind with cords from us, your fitter will also install a discreet cleat for the cord to wrap around, the result is no loose strings. Cleats are fitted at a minimum height of 1.5m above the ground.
Please note that having a safety device is now a legal requirement even in homes without children.
It is also a requirement that if you move home and leave your blinds for the new occupier, you are obligated to make sure they are legally safe.
If any of your existing blinds do not have a cleat or break chain, please fit a safety device as soon as possible to make your product child-safe. Even if you didn’t purchase your blind from us, we can provide you with the right safety device for your blinds free of charge. You can read more here www.makeitchildsafe.co.uk.
Tips on How to be Child Safe
Paull’s Blinds are committed to child safety and we will take care of installing the appropriate child safety devices for you, but there are a couple of additional steps you can take to ensure that your blinds and curtains are child safe:
-
- Keep all cords and chains out of the reach of children using the safety hooks and cleats which have been fitted for you.
- Loose cords or chains should never be tied together.
- Furniture that children could climb on should be kept away from your windows
