Dust can be a trigger for respiratory symptoms especially on household furnishings like blinds  but we have great news for people living with asthma and allergies.

Bekaert Deslee has been announced as the first ever blind fabric manufacturer to have Sensitive Choice approved blind fabric! Their blind fabrics have been recognised as premium solutions that meet stringent criteria for respiratory health, ensuring that customers can trust in the quality and effectiveness of Bekaert Deslee made blind fabrics.

Bekaert Deslee blind fabrics are a superior option that can offer tangible benefits in alleviating asthma and allergy symptoms and are the perfect choice for assisting in maximising respiratory health in both the home and workplace.

Proudly manufactured right here in Melbourne Australia, the fabrics are produced without the use of harsh chemicals like formaldehyde, a harmful and toxic ingredient used in many blind fabrics currently in the market. Formaldehyde is one of the most common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and it is commonly found in building materials. VOCs are a trigger for many people living with asthma and allergies. Exposure to formaldehyde can irritate the skin, throat, lungs and eyes and repeated exposure has been shown to possibly lead to cancer.

The importance of choosing a product that is made without formaldehyde is crucial to creating a healthier home, and it is particularly important for those looking to renovate or do home improvements.

The fabrics are also treated and certified by the Health Guard Corporation Pty Ltd to be Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Fungal and Anti-Dust Mite which are critical in providing a healthy environment for optimal respiratory health.

Being Anti-Static also means the fabrics do not collect dust on the surface which again is a common cause of allergy and asthma symptoms. All Bekaert Deslee Blind fabrics are certified by AWTA to be Anti-Static.

Bekaert Deslee have been elevated as the go-to provider for blind fabrics that prioritise respiratory health, providing a superior solution that contributes to a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

Their Sensitive Choice approval ­­reinforces Bekaert Deslee’s unwavering commitment to producing top-quality products that make a positive impact on people’s lives. It also marks a significant milestone for the organisation, highlighting their dedication to being innovative industry leaders.

Bekaert Deslee’s blind fabrics are proudly Sensitive Choice approved, having been rigorously reviewed by a panel of experts as asthma and allergy friendly.
