It can take just 15 seconds for a young child to lose consciousness if they get tangled in a blind cord. And sadly they can die in just a few minutes.

Make your blind cord safe, secure it on a cleat hook or use a tensioner (safety devices that should come with all new blinds).

To avoid heat gain, blinds and shutters should be kept closed when it’s hot during the daytime and then opened at night so the building can cool when it’s colder outside. Remember opening windows at night will allow the building to ventilate. BBSA

Just some of the benefits of the good old VERTICAL BLIND!

Their versatility takes some beating.... quite often vertical blinds are thought of as outdated, or 'Officey'
We say quite the contrary! There are so many options and benefits with these blinds, from voile styles, sleek chain-less bottom weights, cord free operations, motorised, curved, sloped...the list goes on.

Well-chosen furnishings can enhance the aesthetics of the space, creating a more inviting and inspiring atmosphere for learning.

The colours, properties and style were well thought out in this schools assembly hall.

These insulating curtains will reduce glare and heat gain in the summer, and heat loss in the winter, helping the children (and the staff) focus on the important stuff!

Natural light improves mood, productivity, and cognitive function.
By adjusting window furnishings, light conditions can be optimized for different learning throughout the day.

This school has nailed it by switching their old, drab curtains, with beautiful warm, bright curtains. These blackout curtains are also flame retardant, insulating and sound absorbing.

All Child safe so perfect for the kids!

Did you know the colour Blue is widely used in therapeutic settings?

It helps to unwind, find peace and makes us feel more comfortable expressing inner feelings. It's also associated with wisdom, creativity and spirituality.

Creating the right environment makes all the difference to our well-being, and this school had their students well-being at heart when choosing these blinds.
