Child safety

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Hillarys blinds are committed to ensuring our blinds are safe around children, and we rigourously test our blinds to ensure they are safe for use in any room of the home.

 All of our friendly local advisors carry with them child safety devices, which can be fitted in your home to keep cords out of the way of children. When you have a Hillarys Advisor in your home simply tell them which rooms you would like child safety devices fitted and we will do so free of charge.

 In addition we advise the following:

* Use cordless blinds in children’s bedrooms, Hillarys suggest choosing pleated blinds with tab opening to ensure no cords at all

*Move beds and cribs away from windows or any furniture that children can climb on

* Only buy blinds manufactured after 2001 – when the new safety regulations came in, every single Hillarys blind is made-to-measure to your exact requirements

* Keep all cords out of reach of children

*Opt for wands rather than cords on products like Venetian blinds

*Use metal cleats that fix to the wall to tie loose cords around

*For the conservatory we offer the option of remote controlled blinds so there’s no cords hanging down to worry about
