Make It Safe
Child safety is our utmost priority here at Brighton Sunblinds. We comply with all the necessary safety regulations as per the requirement of BS EN 13120. This covers the manufacture, supply and installation of all our blinds.
The Make It Safe campaign began in 2014, as new regulations were enacted concerning the safety of blinds manufacturing. This largely concerned the replacement of loose cords, which could cause young children or vulnerable people accidental harm. We’re proud to be a part of the Make It Safe campaign, and in addition to closely following their safety regulations, we also supply our customers with all the best and most up-to-date safety advice and legislation news.
Your blinds, Safe for your Children
We ensure our blinds adhere to the strictest standards of safety by including a range of child-safe mechanisms with every product. We have completely removed loose, looped cords and have replaced them with a wide range of alternative options:
Cordless blinds
In our pursuit of strict safety measures we introduced cordless blinds into our range.
These blinds are operated entirely by hand, removing any need for dangling cords.
Motorised blinds
These blinds are also cordless — and don’t even need to be touched to be operated. A simple push of a button will raise and lower your blinds.
Cord lock-away
A single, solid wand is used to conceal and ‘lock away’ the cord. The blind can be operated by twisting or pushing the wand.
Tensioned cord
This device keeps the cord taut at all times, removing any opportunity for the cord to dangle loosely.
Gear box
A gearbox removes the cord entirely and replaces it with a crank or handle. Simply turn the handle to raise or lower your blinds.
