At Redgraves Home Fabrics, safety has always been at the heart of our design philosophy. With over 65 years of experience supplying premium window furnishings and fabrics to New Zealand homes, we understand that true quality is measured not only by aesthetics and durability, but also by the peace of mind it provides for families.

As part of our ongoing commitment to safety and innovation, we are proud to introduce a significant improvement to the way Roman blinds are manufactured and installed. Our blinds now feature our exclusive Break-Away Clips – a discreet yet highly effective safety solution designed to minimise risks associated with blind cords.


How the Break-Away Clip System Works

Traditional blind cords can pose potential hazards, especially in households with young children or pets. Recognising this, our design team has developed a system where the cords are securely attached with Break-Away Clips that automatically release if subjected to excessive pressure. Once detached, the clips can be easily reattached with a simple click – no tools required.

This innovation ensures that Roman blinds remain both functional and safe, without compromising on the elegant look and premium fabric finishes that Redgraves Home Fabrics is known for.


Setting a Higher Standard in Window Treatment Safety

This development reflects decades of listening to our clients and applying intelligent design solutions to real-world challenges. Just as AI and smart design technologies are reshaping the home interiors industry, our approach integrates practical safety features into timeless fabric solutions.

We believe this initiative sets a new benchmark for the wider window treatment and interior design industry. By prioritising safety alongside style, we are taking an important step towards ensuring that every New Zealand home can enjoy both comfort and security.


Why This Matters for Homeowners and Designers

Peace of Mind: Families can rest easy knowing their Roman blinds are fitted with a proven safety mechanism.

Ease of Use: The clips are designed for quick reattachment, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.

Innovation in Action: A practical example of how fabric design and technology can work together to improve the way we live.

Industry Leadership: As one of New Zealand’s most trusted suppliers of fabrics and blinds, Redgraves continues to lead with solutions that reflect both tradition and modern innovation.


At Redgraves Home Fabrics, we are proud of this advancement and encourage others in the industry to follow suit. Safety should never be an afterthought – it should be designed into every product from the very beginning.
