CHOOSING QUALITY OVER QUANTITY MAKES TOTAL BUSINESS SENSE
|
Uni-Blinds ® integral blinds manufacturer Morley Glass has always prioritised the highest quality in its products to provide the best long term value to homeowners , and to help installers ’ businesses thrive . Managing Director , Ian Short , explains why .
One of the main reasons why integral blinds have proved so popular with homeowners is because they enhance a standard window or door with – what they expect will be – a technically-superior product with the wow-factor . The key to ensuring we meet their expectations , and in fact exceed them , is hand-crafting every single unit using the highest quality components and systems .
Every Uni-Blinds ® integral blind unit is made to order , never mass produced . And whilst we do manufacture thousands of units every week , each customer order is treated as a unique project .
As a business , Morley Glass has over 20 + years of manufacturing integral blinds , so we have refined our processes for assembly , supported by continuous investment in state-of-the-art machinery

and technology , and worked hard to develop a highly skilled and knowledgeable team . This means we fulfil customer orders in industry-leading turnaround times , even though every unit is always bespoke – a win-win for installers and homeowners .
Exclusively made with ScreenLine ® inside
Morley Glass has only ever manufactured integral blinds using ScreenLine ® systems from the Italian company that pioneered these products in the 1970s – Pellini S . p . A . The brand is globally renowned for quality , meaning we can have total confidence that the Uni-Blinds ® units we manufacture at our Yorkshire factory will always to be to the industry ’ s highest standards .
Why is this so important ? Unfortunately , the difference between European-made Screen- Line ® integral blind systems and cheaper alternatives at the bottom end of the market is vast . The technology that Pellini has been continuously developing over 50 years ensures all five available control systems for ScreenLine ® blinds are user-friendly , robust and reliable – and that means they routinely exceed customer expectations .
The reliability of ScreenLine ® systems means Uni-Blinds ® integral blinds are less likely to need repairs during their service life than other products – that means fewer costly call-backs for installers . And , because we have nationwide service engineers on our team , we will always be available to assist where Uni-Blinds ® repairs are more complex by attending customer premises on their behalf .
Uni-Blinds ® installers can also protect their reputation because customer satisfaction is maximised . This is vitally important in attracting future enquiries , particularly given how online reviews can influence a homeowner ’ s decision on who to approach to request a quote .
Going the extra mile
As important as the blind system is , the integral blind will only deliver on its long-term potential if all the other components are to similarly a high standard , and if the units are manufactured to the highest possible standards .
This is why we only ever use warm edge spacer bars designed specifically for integral blind units to optimise thermal performance – no other UK integral blind manufacturer does this . And all our units are dual sealed to further improve the unit ’ s long term thermal insulation capabilities and gas retention .
Rigorous quality control procedures
No integral blind unit leaves our factory without going through quality checks at key stages , and every unit is barcoded for easy traceability . This means there is a complete history to the blind – who was involved in assembling the unit in the production process , which components and systems were used and who checked the unit ’ s finished quality .
Price is never the only buyer consideration
No homeowner has an unlimited budget to complete their window and door project . But there will always be elements of their windows and doors – like integral blinds – where they recognise the value of choosing a premium quality product over something mass produced primarily to be low cost .
This is why quality integral blinds are so important . Many homeowners will expect their new windows and doors to have a long lifespan , certainly with aluminium and PVCu frames , and for them to be an almost maintenance-free , ‘ fit and forget ’ purchase . Why , then , should we expect them to settle for integral blinds which do not meet these same reliability and longevity expectations ?
