Child Safety at the window

Creating a safer environment in your home Many consumers think of privacy, style and comfort

when they select window coverings for their home. However, if you have a child, then child safety should be another important consideration when selecting window fashions for your home.

Children are innately curious about the world, where even basic household items like window coverings can turn into potential hazards. Therefore, making our products safer for homes with young children and pets is an integral part of the Luxaflex design philosophy. As an industry leader, we work closely with the industry body and ACCC on Child Safety Regulations to ensure that our products meet the minimum safety requirements, and we are continuously developing new products to help reduce the risk of accidents.

From cordless alternatives to motorised operation systems, we offer many innovative lifting systems designed with safety, convenience and beauty in mind. Choose from a large array of colours and materials that complement your nursery today and your teen’s room tomorrow. Read on to learn more about the many safety features we offer, and visit luxaflex.com.au to see our full collection of custom made to measure window fashions.

Designed with safety in mind

Prevention begins with awarenessBuyers and users of blinds should be aware of the hazards that can be posed by unrestrained cords, loop chains and wires, which may be hazardous to young children. We suggest you adopt these simple tips to ensure the well-being and safety of your children and pets.

• Position cots, beds, playpens and other furniture on walls without windows and window cords.

• Check your current window coverings for exposed or dangling cords.

• Keep cords out of reach of children.

• Eliminate any dangling cords with cordless window coverings.

• Permanently anchor continuous cord loop window covering cords to the floor or wall.

• Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.

*All Luxaflex® products that are installed correctly will comply with the Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety Standard—Corded Internal Window Coverings) Amendment Regulations 2010/No.1.

Ultraglide®

An innovative lifting system that allows you to operate your shade using a single retractable cord which maintains a constant cord length regardless of the position of the blind, making it less accessible to small children and pets.

EasyRiseLuxaflex EasyRise Lifting System offers a continuous cord loop for easy movement of the shade. This cord is fixed in a tensioner, securely attached to a wall or architrave, so it cannot form a loop.

Combination Wand/CordThis combination function integrates both tilt and traverse functions into one easy-to-use control that keeps the cord taut.

Cord TensionerOur cord tensioner is designed with spring tension and bracket. When properly installed, it holds looped cords taut to reduce the risk of a child becoming entangled.

Cord CleatDesigned for standard cordlock products, our cord cleat allows excess lift cords to be tightly wrapped around it when the blind is raised for both enhanced safety and a neater appearance at the window.
