Tapping ‘Intu’ the Latest
Window Trends
Made to measure window blinds brand Style Studio is
seeing a huge rise in demand for its INTU window blinds.
Growth in sales of these blinds, that fit straight into
the window frame eliminating the need to drill, reflects
trends in the window and glass door market; notably the
consumer shift to UPVC and metal frames, clean lines and
larger glass expanses. “Glazing trends have a huge impact
on the types of blinds that become popular and INTU blinds
are ticking all the boxes when it comes to dressing modern
windows”, says Style Studio’s interiors expert Lorna McAleer.
“Sleek, contemporary glazing styles as well as black and grey
frames are hugely popular (even in period properties), which
is prompting a desire for window dressings that complement
window frames rather than covering them up.
“Style Studio’s innovative INTU blinds fit differently to other
types of window blinds. Rather than being mounted around
a window, they clip directly into the window frame so that
they sit flush against the pane.
“They are available for Roller, Pleated, Hive (thermal) blind
fabrics as well as Venetian blind slats, all made to measure
so they fit perfectly with no gaps.
“And because they integrate with the window itself, the blind
stays within the frame as the window opens and closes. This
is great for tilt and turn windows and a ‘micro’ version with
a smaller pleat size fits specifically in bi-fold and tri-fold
doors.”
