Why Choosing a BBSA Accredited Blind Fitter Is Essential for Your Home Safety

When it comes to installing blinds in your home, especially in spaces used by children, safety should always be your top priority. That's why selecting a blind fitter who is a BBSA (British Blind and Shutter Association) accredited member is absolutely essential.

BBSA Accreditation

BBSA accreditation is a mark of professional excellence and safety standards in the window treatment industry. Accredited members have undergone rigorous training, adhere to strict safety guidelines and commit to ongoing professional development. This ensures that your blinds are fitted correctly, securely and safely, reducing risks associated with faulty installations.

Child Safety: Why It Matters

Children are naturally curious and love to explore their environment. Unfortunately, this curiosity can sometimes lead to accidents.

Common hazards include:

- Strangulation risks from long cords or chains

- Falling blinds or fixtures if not securely fitted

- Choking hazards from loose or broken components

Choosing a BBSA accredited fitter ensures that all safety measures are rigorously followed, such as installing cord safety devices, using child-safe fixtures and ensuring that blinds are properly anchored.
