A very important aspect for customers intending to purchase blinds is that vertical blind chains and strings can be dangerous as they risk children getting caught in the loop and being accidentally injured. That is why we supply a special child safety clip that secures the looped string and chain to the wall or frame of the window. Note: We do not supply screws for mounting the brackets with this item. They will need to be supplied by you. We can make blinds to your measurements. But measure carefully. Made to measure blinds are non-refundable. See return policy.
Child Safety (Important) We supply child safety devices.A baby or young child can become entangled in curtain or blind cords in seconds. This can happen when cords are too long or end in a loop. If a child slips, moves quickly or plays with a cord, the cord can act like a noose and strangle the child. Babies can reach through cot slats, grab a nearby blind or curtain cord and pull it into the cot and around their necks. Young children can accidentally strangle on dangling cords after climbing onto a bed or other pieces of furniture. Follow these simple steps to keep blind and curtain cords out of children's reach, particularly children under 6 years old: The supplied Cord guides must be installed so that a loose cord cannot form a loop of 220 mm or longer at a height of less than 1600 mm above floor level. If the final installation of the cord guide is below 1600 mm above floor level, the cord must be tensioned to prevent such a loop from forming. Keep children away from all cords – move furniture, cots and beds away. You must fit and not remove any warning label or swing tag supplied with the corded internal window covering. This should be attached to the child safety device as shown below. 1/ Push gently down on the bottom screw hole and slide the top cover down and off the safety cord guide. 2/ Position the cord guide on your wall/frame pulling a small amount of tension onto the string. Then screw a crew throught the screw hole to attach the guide to the wall/frame. NOTE: The supplied Cord guides must be installed so that a loose cord cannot form a loop of 220 mm or longer at a height of less than 1600 mm above floor level. 3/ Slip the cover back up along the side guides and then place the supplied warning label over the second screw hole and attach to the wall/frame with a second screw. |
