HOW TO SAFEGUARD YOUR WINDOWS FOR CHILD SAFETY

AMAZON ASSOCIATE: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

If you’re a parent, you’re likely familiar with the relentless curiosity
children possess, often leading them into unforeseen dangers within the home.
Among the most perilous yet underestimated hazards are home windows.
Statistically speaking, windows frequently top the list of domestic areas where
children can sustain injuries. It is therefore important to consider your
windows for child safety.

This is a collaborative post.




Given this, we thought it might be helpful to create some tips on how to support
child safety in the home, as we reached out to Ecoline Windows Canada for
support. We have unearthed the most effective strategies for childproofing your
home’s windows. So if your little ones have a penchant for window-related
mischief. Read on!


1. FORTIFYING YOUR WINDOWS WITH CHILDPROOF LOCKS

One of the simplest and most effective methods to ensure your windows are
child-safe is through the installation of childproof locks. Much like door
locks, window locks can be secured with keys, allowing you to limit access.
Interestingly, window locks are available for nearly every type of window.
Moreover, modern windows often come equipped with built-in locks and keys,
making it easier to thwart any attempts to open them.




Childproof window locks are both practical and relatively straightforward to
install. If your current windows lack locks, a quick trip to your local hardware
store can resolve that. However, the downside is that consistently securing
windows can be somewhat inconvenient, especially if frequent opening and closing
are required.


2. IMPLEMENTING WINDOW GUARDS FOR ENHANCED SAFETY

Window guards, designed with a grille-like structure, provide a formidable
barrier against accidents, offering a secure solution regardless of window size.
These guards not only offer protection but also allow for adequate ventilation.



Window guards are particularly effective, as they are challenging for toddlers
to manipulate. For optimal security, a vertical installation is recommended to
prevent children from reconfiguring the guard. While difficult for children to
open, these guards can be easily removed in case of an emergency. However, they
do have an aesthetic drawback, often resembling jail bars.

Not quite what we meant when we mention window guards… 😉


However, childproof window guards can be installed regardless of the type of
windows installed, including casement, slider, awning, and double or single-hung
windows.


3. OPTING FOR CHILDPROOF WINDOW SCREENS OFFERING ADDITIONAL WINDOWS FOR CHILD
SAFETY SOLUTIONS

If the idea of your children peering through a guard that resembles prison bars
is unappealing, consider childproof window screens as an alternative. These
screens, as the name suggests, can be installed on your windows, providing
security while being aesthetically pleasing.



Window screens add an extra layer of insulation to your home. However, their use
is generally limited to casement, slider, awning, and double or single-hung
windows.


4. CHOOSING CHILDPROOF WINDOW BLINDS

Another viable option for childproofing your windows is the use of childproof
window blinds. It is advisable to opt for cordless models that complement your
home’s decor, as blinds with cords pose a strangulation risk. Therefore,
cordless blinds present a safer alternative. Motorized blinds, which are devoid
of cords, are particularly safe for children.




5. INSTALLING THE MOST SECURE WINDOW TYPES


CASEMENT WINDOWS

Casement windows are among the most secure window types, given their resistance
to breakage. Consequently, your children will find it challenging to breach
these windows. Casement windows come in two variations: one hinged on the side
that swings or cranks outward, and another hinged at the top that also swings
outward. A single internal gear mechanism controls the window’s range of motion.
However, it’s imperative to lock the window consistently to maintain its
security.




SLIDING WINDOWS

Sliding windows feature expansive glass panes and an operable sash that slides
horizontally, offering a panoramic view of the outdoors and excellent
ventilation. Sliding windows are an excellent alternative to casement windows,
particularly when outdoor clearance is limited or an unobstructed outdoor view
is desired.



Sliding windows are equipped with an activation lock, which can prevent the
window from sliding in either direction. When locked, these windows remain
inaccessible to children unless they are shown how to unlock them. You can also
pair sliding windows with any of the aforementioned childproofing solutions for
added safety.


6. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

While the strategies outlined above are highly effective in childproofing your
windows, they may not be sufficient on their own. Children are naturally
inquisitive and may eventually find ways to bypass your security measures.




To further enhance safety, consider the following tips:

 * Relocate furniture such as armchairs and couches away from windows to prevent
   climbing and potential falls.
 * Remove handles from crank windows to prevent children from opening them in
   your absence.
 * Opt for windows that open from the top, as they are typically harder for
   children to reach.
 * Educate your children about the dangers of windows and heights, emphasizing
   the importance of safety.




OUR FINAL WORD ON CHILDPROOF WINDOWS

Taking steps to childproof your windows is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect
of ensuring your children’s safety at home. Childproof windows not only protect
against accidents but are also easy to install, providing peace of mind as part
of your daily parenting routine. Implement these safety measures to minimize the
risk of window-related accidents in your home.
