Furniture and TV anchoring in Dubai.
Toddlers climb drawers, pull on shelves and grab at TVs. We anchor the pieces that could tip, with fixings that suit your walls, so each one is held firmly in place.
What we look at.
We look at every freestanding piece a child could pull or climb, room by room.
- Chests of drawers, wardrobes and changing units
- Bookcases, shelving and display units
- TVs on stands and low consoles
- Drawers a child could use as steps
- The wall behind each piece and what it is made of
- Heavy items on top that make a piece top-heavy
What tends to tip.
- Chests of drawers
- Open drawers make a chest top-heavy and give a toddler something to climb. Even a low chest can tip once the drawers are pulled out.
- Wardrobes and tall units
- Tall, narrow furniture can be unstable on its own, especially on carpet or an uneven floor.
- Televisions
- Large flat screens are heavy at the top and often stand on consoles that were not designed to resist a child pulling on them.
- Consoles and sideboards
- A TV unit may need anchoring itself, as well as the TV standing on it.
Fixed to suit your walls.
- Block walls
- Solid walls take a secure fixing with the right plug and screw for the anchor.
- Gypsum and partition walls
- Hollow walls need fixings made for them, or a fixing into a stud or frame where there is one.
- Tiled and stone surfaces
- We drill these with the right bits, or find a better fixing point on the furniture.
- The furniture itself
- Anchors go into solid parts of the furniture, not thin back panels, and are hidden from view wherever possible.
In a rented home.
Most anchors leave small fixing holes that can be filled and touched up when you move out. We talk you through the fixing for each piece before any work begins.
We suggest checking your tenancy agreement or speaking with your landlord about fixed installations.
Anchoring makes furniture much harder to pull over. It works best alongside simple habits, such as keeping heavy things low and nothing tempting on top.
