home décor and homeowner

tastes.

Just like any standard IGU

( insulating glass unit), integral

blind units have to be made

to fit the exact dimensions of

the windows and doors. That

means cutting the glass to the

required width and height, and

the overall thickness of the IGU

must be suitable for the frames

– usually 24mm or 28mm. But

it also means ensuring the

blind system is manufactured

to fit perfectly within the IGU’ s

cavity, and that needs every

blind unit to be made to order

– it is never an off-the-shelf,

standard sized system.

The reason why this is

important, and why it is a

huge selling point for installers,

is because making every

integral blind unit to order means that we can ensure the product fits most closely with the customer’ s needs from a practical, styling and performance perspective. The days of integral blinds being a niche product are long gone – today they can be applied to anything from a single, small PVCu casement window to

a complete set of premium,

wide-spanning aluminium

bi-fold doors.

GREAT VARIETY OF CONTROL SYSTEMS

With Uni-Blinds ®, there

are up to five different types

of control systems available,

depending on the type of blind.

These range from the manual

C-System cord-pull operated

blind and cordless magnetic

slider systems, SV and SV +, to

the W Smart battery-operated

and smart-home compatible

MB motorised systems.

This means installers can

offer homeowners a choice

of how to control the blinds

to best suit their personal

preferences, the practicalities

presented by their windows

and doors and their budget.

STYLES AND COLOURS

Most integral blinds manufactured

by Morley Glass are

Venetian blinds, a classic style characterised by its horizontal slats attached to vertical cords which facilitate the raising, lowering and tilting. The narrow slats, designed to fit within the IGU cavity, come in a choice of colours depending on the type of blind specified.

In addition to Venetian blinds, we also manufacture pleated fabric integral blinds, including a blackout option. These are raised and lowered using a cordless magnetic slider positioned on the footer rail of the blind in what is called the S System.

Venetian blind slats for most systems in a 28mm IGU are available in 14 colours, several of which are exclusive to the UK market and include a dual coloured slat which is White on the inside and Anthracite on the externally-facing side.
