Child safety for your window shutters in Teddington

Keep your children safe while enjoying the beauty of your wooden shutters

If you’re a parent, you know that keeping your child safe is a top priority. From the moment they’re born, you do everything you can to ensure their wellbeing. And that doesn’t stop when they reach the age where they start exploring the world around them. One area of the house that often goes overlooked when it comes to child safety is the windows, specifically, the wooden shutters.

Let’s talk about how you can keep your child safe around your window shutters in Teddington.

  • Choose child-safe window shutters – When selecting window shutters for your home, opt for those specifically designed with child safety features. Look for wooden shutters with built-in child locks to eliminate any potential hazards.
  • Install window shutters properly – Proper installation is essential to ensure the stability and security of your window shutters. Hire a professional installer or follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure the shutters are securely fitted. Loose or improperly installed shutters can pose a danger to your child.
  • Place furniture away from windows – Position furniture, such as beds, cribs, and play equipment, away from windows and window shutters. By keeping furniture away from windows, you minimise the child’s access and discourage climbing behaviors.
  • Supervise your child – The most effective way to ensure your child’s safety around wooden shutters is to supervise them closely. Young children are naturally curious, so it’s important to keep an eye on them when they are near windows or shutters. Teach them about the potential dangers associated with playing near windows and help them develop safe habits.

Educate your child about window safety – As your child grows older, teach them about window safety and the potential hazards associated with window shutters. Explain the importance of not climbing or hanging onto shutters, and emphasise that windows are not toys. Encourage them to report any loose or damaged shutters to you immediately.

With kids in your home, you need to be sure that your wooden shutters are secure for the sake of your children’s safety. The Shutter Works has the perfect products for securing your window shutters in Teddington.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jack, and The Shutter Works to have made to measure interior shutters installed in my Home. I was incredibly impressed with the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final installation. Jack was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The shutters themselves are absolutely beautiful. They are made from high quality materials and they are incredibly well crafted. They also fit perfectly in my windows (see pic). Overall, outstanding.

Highly recommend Jack and his team! Our shutters are superb! Jack arrived with samples and discussed different options with us depending on our room type. This was really helpful in making our decision and I must say our rooms just feel so much brighter! We went for ones that could close 3/4 and have the top 1/4 open for some natural light while also providing us with privacy. We also had our bathroom done with a slightly different type and they still match beautifully with the rest of upstairs. Thank you Shutter Works!

Found Shutterworks to offer an excellent service from start to finish. Jack was very friendly and professional during measuring and showcased a range of Shutter options, all of which were fantastic. Jack was responsive on communications throughout, keeping us up to date with the supply chain and developments on that front. Final fit was hassle free and to an excellent standard with the finish immaculate in every way. Our bay window was particularly tricky given the size shape and levelling but all of this was expertly handled by the team. After sales service also excellent with Jack popping round at short notice to fix one of the beams which had popped out of the framework. Overall a very good product for a very good price, fulfilled by a brilliant team who make the whole process easy for the customer. Would highly recommend. Joe and Danielle

Impressed with the professional, polite approach and very fair pricing of this local company compared to others .Delays on delivery are still the case for all shutter companies but communication was very good until delivery and fitting them was speedy and organised.

Jack has been very helpful with our new shutters. Diligent and knowledgeable during our initial meeting, he put us at ease and helped us choose the right colour and type. Today he's been back and installed them and they look great! I will recommend Jack to anyone looking for shutters.

Cannot recommend The Shutter Works highly enough. From start to finish, a professional and helpful approach, putting us at ease that we were in the hands of true experts. Blinds are an investment and we absolutely made the best choice in who guided, supplied and fitted ours for us. Not only that but living in an old Victorian property with less than perfect walls, Jack was able to fit the blinds overcoming these obstacles perfectly, going above and beyond
