FIT Show Preview

New integral blind colours to make debut at 2023 FIT Show

Visitors to the Morley Glass stand at this year ’ s FIT Show will have their first opportunity to see new UK-exclusive ScreenLine ® integral blind colours , which have been developed to give styleconscious homeowners the perfect complement to their contemporary home décor .

The company has been working closely with ScreenLine ® integral blind systems manufacturer Pellini S . p . A . to bring several new colour options to the UK market , ensuring that installers can provide the complete ‘ on-trend ’ windows and doors package .

In the spotlight on the 140 sq . m Morley Glass stand – L41 – will be the recently launched B160 black integral Venetian blind , which makes its UK public debut at the FIT Show . This colour has been developed to meet the growing trend amongst homeowners to coordinate the integral blinds with other black and neutral colours in their home , including black window and door frames , which are becoming increasingly popular .
Visitors will also be able to see an exclusive new Agate grey option for Uni- Blinds ® Venetian blinds in the form of an RAL 7038 colour , along with a darker ‘ slate ’ grey – the S158 .
Another colour innovation on show will be a dual colour Venetian blind slat . This is grey on one side and white on the other , making it ideal for doors and windows where the customer seeks to retain a bright white colour inside their home , while applying a colour such as anthracite grey externally .
Ian Short , MD of Morley Glass , said : “ We only ever manufacture our blinds using ScreenLine ® integral blind systems because the quality and styling advantages are clear to see . These latest colours developed by Pellini are exactly what the UK
market needs today and , importantly , they have been tested thoroughly so we know they will remain pristine over the lifespan of the sealed unit – not all integral blind systems can offer that assurance .”
All these colour innovations are the result of an extensive R & D and testing process by Pellini , which is needed to ensure that the integral blind ’ s slats , cords , header rail , footer rail and any sideguides can be perfectly matched . The development process takes many months to replicate the conditions in-situ to check that the colour formulation will remain stable and not fade in strong sunlight , or cause any chemical reactions with the gas used to fill the sealed unit .
As with all the colours in the Morley Glass range , the new options are available for all Uni-Blinds ® Venetian integral blind systems – the corded C System , the motorised MB System , the W Smart solar powered blind and two magnetic slider controlled blinds , the SV and SV +.
There are no extended timescales for orders either – all these new colours are available in the usual ordering timescale for Uni-Blinds ® which is within 10-12 working days , when ordered by 10am on Thursdays .
All Uni-Blinds ® integral blind systems are made in Leeds and delivery to UK customers is complimentary . Ordering is easy too , as Morley Glass has order processors dedicated to specific integral blind systems to ensure customers receive the best advice and technical guidance from the outset .
