DARKNESS ON DEMAND WITH NEW PLEATED BLACKOUT BLINDS

» MORLEY GLASS & Glazing is delivering darkness on demand with its launch of a new and exclusive blackout system for pleated integral blinds .
The ScreenLine ® pleated blackout blinds sit neatly inside Uni-Blind ® sealed units to ensure complete shading from the sun and other light sources such as streetlights and passing vehicles . Complete privacy and the exclusion of external light are particularly welcome in environments such as bedrooms , children ’ s nurseries and home cinema rooms as well as commercial applications including laboratories , hotel rooms and museums .
With no vertical cords running down the blind , no light can leak
through tiny gaps when in the closed position , and there are no perimeter gaps either . The pleated blackout blinds are available in a choice of eight colour options : white , alabaster , cocoa , grey sheen , black , anthracite grey , dove grey and grey ridge . The blackout blinds are available for 20mm cavities , using the manual corded C System or slider control S System , and can cover a glazed area of 2 sq metres ( 2200mm max height x 1500mm max width ).
Ian Short , managing director of Morley Glass & Glazing said : “ We all value our privacy and also know how important it is to get a good night ’ s sleep . The new pleated blackout system can provide these solutions .
The pleated blind ’ s material also delivers excellent thermal performance , reflecting excessive heat and helping to keep rooms cool in the height of summer .
“ We ’ re really excited to work with ScreenLine ® in Italy to bring this product exclusively to the UK for fabricators and installers to add to their portfolio of added value products . It ’ s perfect timing as we come into the summer with
lighter nights and brighter days . The new blackout system is the perfect solution for light sleepers seeking an uninterrupted night ’ s sleep and shift workers who may need to sleep during the day , or for any room where unwanted light can cause a nuisance or disruption . I ’ m sure they ’ ll be a hugely popular product .”

LINCOLNSHIRE RESIDENTIAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT COMPLETED ‘ SEAMLESSLY ’

» 247 WHITE SPECTUS CASEMENT windows , 25 French doors and 10 residential doors have been manufactured and installed on a new 36 home Ashwood Homes development at Balmoral Way , Holbeach in Lincolnshire .
The new build contract was awarded to longstanding Spectus fabricator Highseal Manufacturing Company based in Scunthorpe . The experienced Spectus fabricator was able to meet the exacting specifications , and all products were manufactured under CE Markings and BSI Kitemark ( BS7412 ) accreditations . Holly Donaldson of Highseal Manufacturing Company commented : “ We are committed to quality excellence throughout the business and our experience and expertise on developments of this type meant we were able to demonstrate how we would meet its requirements .”
The Balmoral Way development provides stylish , energy efficient homes at an affordable price point , in line with Ashwood Homes ’ aim to produce a high-quality residential development that will be an integral part of Holbeach in years to come . This meant the windows and doors had to combine strong aesthetics , exceptional thermal efficiency and powerful security credentials , all backed with the BSI kitemark which Highseal delivered .
Construction commenced in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic , which inevitably
made installation more complex . However , as an experienced contractor , Highseal Manufacturing Company was more than able to deliver . Holly commented : “ We worked closely with Ashwood Homes and all the contractors on site to make sure everything ran smoothly . I ’ m delighted to say that – despite everything – installation ran seamlessly .”
Highseal Manufacturing Company is a family-run business based in Scunthorpe , North Lincolnshire . Established in 2012 by Neil and Sue Donaldson , the business has grown year-on-year and has an increasing number of associate traders , installers and blue-chip clients nationally .
Holly concluded : “ We have previously worked with Ashwood Homes and we were delighted to work with them again on this much-needed new development to provide homes for first-time buyers and young families in Lincolnshire .”
