Consider remote control options
Each Thomas Sanderson blind system has remote control options for the easiest of operation. Our PowerRise® and Platinum Power Systems have no loose unrestrained chains and/or cords thus eliminating risks.
Cord/Chain operated blind systems
Unfortunately, not all blinds in the Thomas Sanderson range can benefit from the LiteRise® system. For blinds that are operated with a cord or chain system Thomas Sanderson offer 2 different styles of safety device.
For loop chain/cord blinds a small transparent retaining clip is secured so that the chain/loop is just taut but free to move and at a height that can only be reached by adults.
For pull cord blinds a simple metal cleat is used to provide a safe means of storage for the cords after the blind has been operated. The cord is simply wrapped around the cleat when the product is not in use.
Safety in Use Guidelines
- Make sure all cords and chains are secured and out of the reach from children
- Do not allow cords or chains to hang free
- Where possible, cords should end and/or be secured at least 1.6m up from the floor
- Never put a cot, bed, high chair or playpen near a window or patio door where a child can reach the blind cords or chain
- Keep sofas, chairs, tables, shelves or book cases away from windows to prevent children climbing up and reaching blind cords/chain
- Consider using cordless blind systems
Installation policy
In accordance with BS EN13120:2009 cord/chain operated blinds will only be installed with a retention bracket/cleat for the safe storage of the cord/chain to reduce risk of strangulation to children and vulnerable persons.
