Child Safety & Compliance

1. Eliminating the Risk

Traditional corded window coverings pose a significant strangulation risk to infants and pets. By removing looped cords entirely, our systems offer:

• Zero Loop Hazard: No dangerous dangling cords or chains.
• Wand-Operated Ease: Smooth, manual control that is out of reach for toddlers.
• Peace of Mind: A safe environment for nurseries, bedrooms, and play areas.

2. 2026 Rental Minimum Standards

In accordance with the 2026 Australian Rental Minimum Standards, all window coverings in rental properties must meet strict safety criteria. Home Curtains' cordless range is Fully Compliant, making them the ideal choice for landlords and property managers who need to meet legal safety obligations without installing additional cord-tensioning hardware.

3. Tie-Back Safety Guidelines

While our curtain tracks are cordless, we recommend the following safety precautions if using decorative tie-backs:

• Installation Height: Always mount tie-back hooks at least 1.6 meters above the floor level.
• Secure Fit: Ensure tie-backs are pulled tight and cannot form a loose loop.

4. Installation Duty of Care

To ensure ongoing safety, all curtain tracks and hardware must be securely fastened to the wall or ceiling structure. Please use the appropriate fixings for your specific wall type (e.g., toggle bolts for plasterboard or masonry anchors for brick). A secure installation prevents the risk of hardware falling, which is a primary safety requirement under Australian Consumer Law.
