MORLEY GLASS PROUD TO BE PART OF FIT ’ S 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW

With only six months to go before the 2023 exhibition opens its doors , the Morley Glass team is busy progressing its plans for the next FIT Show with the focus on revealing even more integral blind innovations to the fenestration sector .
After the success of the 2022 show , Morley Glass and its exclusive integral blind systems manufacturer Pellini S . p . A . are working hard ahead of May ’ s event to be ready to launch a series of new developments for Uni-Blinds ®, with two new products already confirmed for launch in April .
All built with the world-renowned ScreenLine ® systems inside , these are set to offer even more ways to tailor integral blinds to homeowner tastes and to meet commercial specifications .
Ian Short , Managing Director of Morley Glass said : “ It may seem like only yesterday that the
first show took place , but the 2023 FIT Show will actually be the tenth anniversary event . This longevity shows how resilient the show has been , particularly given the disruption of the pandemic , and demonstrates that it still the must-attend event in the industry ’ s calendar to get together and explore the best of what our sector has to offer .
“ Speaking with our customers and supply chain partners , the FIT Show ’ s ‘ everyone ’ s going ’ slogan is as true today as it was a decade ago and we are already looking forward to being there again . Our experience of this year ’ s show was extremely positive , not only as a platform to
present our current Uni-Blinds ® integral blind systems portfolio , but also to get insights from installers about what they would like to see in future . This makes the FIT Show a truly unique event .”
The 2022 FIT Show gave Morley Glass an opportunity to launch several new integral blind developments which are already proving popular with customers . These included the symmetrical version of its top selling Venetian cordless slider integral blind system , the SV +, which is now selling in volumes of around 1,000 units every month , and Screen- View ®, a new system designed specifically for hospitals where
hygiene and infection control are crucial .
Ian adds : “ We were delighted with the response we had to all our integral blind systems at this year ’ s show , but we know the service we provide continues to be as important to installers . That ’ s why we continue to innovate on both fronts .
“ Our close partnership with Pellini ensures we can offer a standard 10-12 day lead time , backed with complimentary
nationwide delivery , which helps installers to provide a quick turnaround for homeowners and end-users – no waiting around to complete the sale or installation . And our free post-consumer glass collection and recycling service helps installers save money and the hassle of arranging waste disposal , as well as being important from a sustainability point of view .”
