Cordless and motorised blinds for homes with young children

Why cords are a safety concern around young children and which blind controls avoid them.

Why cords matter

Loose blind cords and chains can be a hazard for young children. Australia has mandatory safety requirements for corded internal window coverings, and safer control options are widely available.

Cordless options

Many roller blinds and other styles can be made with cordless or spring-assisted operation, so there is no hanging cord to reach.

Motorised blinds

A motor removes the operating cord altogether and lets you control blinds with a remote or other control, which also helps with high windows and large openings.
