Children are often at risk of getting tangled up in cords while playing around a window. Cordless blinds in Sydney come in many different types, such as pleated shades that drape across the top but do not touch or pull on any cords to open them. They can be mounted inside or outside windows and have no hanging cords near children’s reach level for added safety.
Some blinds and shutters in Sydney come with motorized operation, making it much safer and easier to open and close your window treatments.
