WHY CHOOSE OUR EVAGLIDE CHILD SAFE ROMAN BLINDS?

WHY CHOOSE OUR EVAGLIDE CHILD-SAFE ROMAN BLINDS?

Child safety is of utmost importance when it comes to Roman Blinds. As popular window coverings, each system poses potential risks to young children, especially those under the age of five, due to their corded operating systems. The safety concerns arise from the possibility of strangulation or entanglement in the blind cords, which can have tragic consequences.

The following factors highlight the significance of child safety for Roman Blinds:

Accidents and Injuries: Blind cords can form loops or be within reach of children, leading to accidental strangulation or entanglement. Children can become entangled in the cords while playing or exploring, often without their parents or guardians noticing until it's too late.
Vulnerability of Young Children: Young children are particularly vulnerable to these accidents due to their limited understanding of potential hazards and lack of coordination to free themselves once entangled.
Preventable: Child accidents involving Roman Blinds are entirely preventable with appropriate safety measures. Implementing child-safe design features such as break-away cog systems can significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
Legal Obligations: The UK government and regulatory bodies place a high priority on child safety. Manufacturers and retailers of Roman Blinds are legally required to comply with safety standards, ensuring that products are safe for children. We strongly advise that retailers seek Roman Blinds that’s are independently tested to ensure maximum compliance.
Industry Standards and Guidelines: The British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) and British Standard BSEN 13120 set stringent safety requirements for blinds, including Roman Blinds. Compliance with these standards ensures that blinds are designed to minimize risks.
Safer Alternatives: The importance of child safety has driven the development of safer blind operating systems, such as motorised options. These alternatives eliminate the risk of cord-related accidents and are highly recommended for homes with young children.
Responsible Retailers: Retailers play a vital role in promoting child safety by offering and promoting Roman Blinds that offer compliance, as well as providing information on safe installation and use.

At Evans, our range of Evaglide Roman Blinds ensure child safety with a robust and ingenious breakaway cog mechanism that causes the cog and chain to break away from the headrail when too much pressure is applied (6kg).

Our guidance of choosing child safe Roman Blinds

Choose Roman Blinds that offer warning labels, rear cord safety devices, wall cleat/P Clip, breakaway mechanisms or come with motorised options.
Ensure Roman Blinds have child safety devices like cord cleats or P Clips and are installed to at least 150cm above the ground to help keep cords out of reach.
Regularly check blinds for any loose or damaged cords and make necessary repairs or replacements promptly.

By prioritising child safety and making informed choices, Evans Textiles hopes that we can create a safer environment for children in homes and public spaces with Roman Blinds. If you’d like any further information on our range of Evaglide Roman Blinds, please contact us on 0161 274 4147.
