Are Your Blinds Child Safe?

Did you know, that since April 2014, all Blinds fitted have to comply with British Safety Standard EN13120 for Child Safety. This means all looped cords & chains have to be secured at a safe height and all single cords tied off to a cleat, again at a safe height.

New Tools To Improve Effeciency
