More than a finishing touch

» INTEGRAL BLINDS ARE OFTEN viewed as an “ add on ”, a “ luxury ” or a “ finishing touch ”. However as working from home becomes a more permanent fixture and climate change is seeing temperatures rise in the UK , there is a growing necessity for solutions such as integral blinds to deliver increased privacy , security and shade .
Morley Glass & Glazing is the leading specialist in manufacturing sealed units with integral blinds inside – working with ScreenLine in Italy and creating the Uni- Blind brand in the UK .
Ian Short , managing director at Morley Glass & Glazing said : “ We are seeing a huge increase in demand for Integral blinds . So much demand that we only manufacture sealed units with integral blinds inside now and have become experts and true specialists , manufacturing more than 4000 a week . We sell to other sealed unit manufacturers as well as to fabricators and installers , and offer a complete sales , aftersales and marketing support service , plus a 10-12 day delivery schedule .
“ Integral blinds provide good profit margins for fabricators and installers and are fitted in exactly the same way as any other sealed unit . They are best known for use in bi-fold doors and sliding patio doors as they sit within the cavity of the sealed unit and don ’ t interfere with the opening and closing mechanism of the door . However , they are suitable for just about every type and style of window and door , giving the customer privacy and shade .”
Morley Glass & Glazing has recently launched two new products to its range of Uni-Blind sealed units .
Its latest innovation is the aesthetically pleasing SV + System , which is a slight rework of the best-selling SV System : a cordless Venetian integral blind with a clever magnetic slider to control the whole operation . The SV + has all the amazing features and technology of the SV System , but is entirely symmetrical , optimising the framing of the view so the blind unit is consistent to the left , right , top and bottom .
New for this year is a range of pleated blackout Venetian blinds , which delivers complete darkness on demand . They prevent light transmission through an advanced blind fabric , as well as light ‘ bleed ’ around the edges and cords . The fabric has a high thermal resistance too which means it will help to keep a room cool in the summer months .
Ian Short adds : “ Our complete range of integral blinds – in addition to our latest innovations will bolster fabricators and installers ’ offerings to their customers . The development of the new products has been driven by consumer demand and are welcome additions to our range . The complete range appeals to the whole market : from manual control systems with wands and sliders to electric and solar powered systems operated via remote controls ; there ’ s something for every budget and style choice .”
The Venetian and pleated Integral blinds are also available in a wide range of colour options to complement homeowners ’ décor and style choices .
