Is it ok to put upvc blinds iin front of a fire exit door,the blind/curtains are 200m in width and 2m in hight and multi colour
The fire exits are to be used by children

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS A 200m upvc blind that's big. You should not cover fire exits they need to be easily seen that is why they have a big fire exit sign above them.

I honestly think that it is a typo. That would be some blind that is 200 m wide.

But I have to agree with Tom regarding covering the fire exit. Think about it, if there is a fire, people panic, and will not see that there is a blind covering an exit, also the blind could get in peoples way. and if the fire exits are "to be used by children" how does everyone else get out?
