Curtain & Blind Safety in Your Kids Bedroom

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean HQ

As a parent or parent-to-be, your number one focus will be the health and safety of your kids. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they are 18 months or 18 years, we always have their best interests in mind – even if they don’t listen anymore!

As a parent or parent-to-be, your number one focus will be the health and safety of your kids. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they are 18 months or 18 years, we always have their best interests in mind – even if they don’t listen anymore!

However, the home environment can present many dangers to young children. Take curtains and blinds, for example. Although they look great in a room, there’s a risk that kids can hurt themselves if they play around with them.

As such, what are the measures that you can take to ensure that they are safe in your home? Let us explain.

Keep your windows child-safe: Keep babies’ cots well away from windows and ensure that all blind and curtain cords are out of reach. This may mean not placing furniture next to windows – toddlers love climbing!

Child safety devices: You could install a safety device that adds another level of protection. This allows cords to be tightly wound around a cleat and out of reach, alternatively you could opt for electronically operated blinds.

Reduce the hazard: It is important to be aware at all times of child safety around the home. An extra safety measure is the installation of a safety device that either removes the cord loop or limits access to cords. A tension device (either a chain tensioner or cleat) can be anchored to the wall or floor so that young children cannot play with cords or put them around their neck.

Selecting the right curtain fabric type: There is no doubt that kids love to pull and tug on items around your home. While you can tell them off as many times as you like, it might be a good idea to invest in stronger fabric type for curtains in a kid’s bedroom.

For example, sheers and voiles – while they look great in a baby’s nursery, these fabrics are too lightweight and prone to damage especially when your youngest becomes mobile and wants to practice their climbing skills! In a kid’s bedroom, you’ll want a strong fabric that can take the odd pull and is also easy to clean should they get dirty.

If you need help, give us a call on 0800 579 0501 and we can offer helpful advice. We can also provide safety devices to keep your blind cords out of reach.

Hi all,
So you are aware Solr4u has been around for yonks (1995).
We are a team that specialize in Solar Water Heating.

Unlike solar electric, solar water heating is most often a lower capital
and a great place to enter your solar journey, or simply leave it and just that !
So;
1) Solar water heating to heat your hot water cylinder and help you reduce energy costs. Water heating if often considerable chunk of your power bill. furthermoe, going solar is great for reducing reliance on the countries energy needs.

2) Solar water heating to heat your Swimming Pool (and or spa pool). A solar heated swimming pool more means longer swimming season with minimal ongoing running costs. Don't wait until spring install now so ready to go ! !

Tauranga based, so give the local team with lots of experience a call, and we will provide a free site visit and evaluation for what you need.

It's easier than you may think ! Often installed in a day and bingo, you are up and going with solar.

Regards

PS: If you have a "solar electric" system and find it struggles to provide enough energy, it could be because it's has to heat water as well. A single panel solar water heating unit will take a lot of that load, freeing up solar electric to provide electricity for the rest of the house ! Talk to us today
