Child Friendly Blinds & Shutters NZ

Santa Fe is a proud participant in the WCMA Best for Kids certification programme, supporting child friendly blinds and shutters for New Zealand homes. We believe that choosing window coverings shouldn’t have to mean trading style for safety. That’s why our range covers kid friendly blinds and shutters designed to reduce cord and chain hazards, all without compromising on look.

Safety built in, not bolted on

When you’re furnishing a living room, playroom or shared bedroom, child safe blinds and child safe shutters should be standard. That’s how we’ve approached our child and pet safe products for over 20 years.

How our shutters and blinds are controlled

Our interior shutters are opened and closed with a tilt rod or hidden mechanism so are safe by design. Woodlore Plus Shutters are some of the most durable timber-look shutters available, and their easy-clean finish has made them a popular choice in busy family homes.

Across our blind ranges, including Soluna Roller Blinds and Thermacell Honeycomb blinds, cordless and motorised options mean you can choose kid proof blinds without narrowing your style choices.

Our corded Venetian Blinds are manufactured with a breakaway tassel for added safety and peace of mind. We also supply cordless Venetian blinds.

Motorised control for extra peace of mind

For rooms where you’d rather remove cords and chains altogether, our motorised shutters and child proof blinds pair with the ShadeAuto Hub and App for voice, remote or app control, or can be controlled by remote on their own. Built-in anti-jam technology stops the louvres the moment an obstruction is detected, reducing risk to curious hands and pets.

Matching the product to the room

A nursery often suits Thermacell Honeycomb blinds, which help regulate temperature and filter light for daytime naps. Playrooms and living spaces that see heavier use tend to suit our child friendly shutters, including Woodlore Shutters and Woodlore Plus Waterproof Shutters, built to handle everyday knocks and splashes. 

For shared children’s bedrooms where light needs adjusting often, Soluna Roller Blinds, available with the cordless PrecisionLift system or a chain-operated option fitted with a safety tension device, offer toddler proof blinds that are simple to operate under supervision.

Our materials are lead-free, responsibly sourced and tested against strict international off-gassing standards, so what goes into your child’s room is as considered as the way it operates. Selected timber ranges also hold FSC certification.

Child Friendly Window Dressings FAQs

Thermacell Honeycomb blinds are a popular choice, helping regulate room temperature and filter light for daytime sleep. They’re also available cordless for added reassurance. For total blackout, Soluna Roller Blinds with LightGuard 360 are worth considering as well.

Interior shutters carry up to a 10-year warranty, interior blinds up to 5 years, and motorised components up to 3 years. Ask our team for full terms during your free consultation.

Many families find them ideal, since the ShadeAuto Hub App or remote removes the need for cords, and anti-jam technology stops movement if it senses an obstruction. The battery life of up to 12 months also keeps maintenance to a minimum in a busy household.

Woodlore Plus is a lightweight composite shutter valued for its durability and easy-clean finish, while Ultra is a full timber shutter, built with up to 30% more wood than our Normandy range for wider, more robust panels. Both suit busy family spaces, so the best fit usually comes down to your room’s size and style.

Yes, as of June 2026, the government will be implementing new safety regulations for blinds in New Zealand. They are looking at making it mandatory for new corded blinds sold in New Zealand to meet an internationally recognised safety standard, with suppliers given a year to comply. The rule applies to new products going forward; existing blinds already in homes aren’t covered. 

All of our cordless ranges, and corded options fitted with a safety tension device, are designed with this in mind.
