WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY WITH LONG SUMMER DAYS ON THE HORIZON

Homeowners looking to shut out the bright light of summer evenings and early mornings have a stylish new option open to them this year with the recently launched Uni-Blinds ® pleated blackout integral blind .
Perfect for windows and doors in rooms such as bedrooms , cinema rooms and children ’ s nurseries , the high performance pleated blackout integral blind system from Morley Glass is attracting strong interest among homeowners and installers given its ability to transform a room .
For those customers planning ahead for spring and summer home improvement projects , this new integrated blind option provides an effective solution for rooms affected by unwanted daylight . Its ‘ darkness on demand ’ capability is provided through a
design that prevents light bleed around the edges , as well as along the cords – a common area for light to leak through .
With eight colours available and a choice of control systems including a cordless magnetic slider , the Uni-Blind pleated blackout system provides a shading and privacy solution to suit every taste . They can be used in all types of windows and doors , subject to maximum and minimum sizes , and every unit is manufactured to the highest quality standards using only the globally renowned ScreenLine ® integral systems from Italian company Pellini .
Like all Uni-Blinds , the pleated blackout is made to order by Morley Glass at its state of the art factory in Leeds and delivered nationwide to customers in as little as 10 days .
Ian Short , MD of Morley Glass said : “ We know through feedback from our installers that many homeowners say they would benefit from a blackout blind in specific rooms to suit their lifestyle . For example , those who
work shifts and have to sleep during the day , or parents with young children – they can create a better sleeping environment with a blackout blind .
“ That ’ s why we developed the Uni-Blinds pleated blackout integral
blind with Pellini to extend our range . It means that homeowners who want to complete their new windows or doors with integrated blinds – or upgrade their existing windows – do not need to compromise to make their internal spaces perfect . For any installer looking to expand what they offer to homeowners and gain a competitive edge , as our pleated blackout demonstrates , Uni-Blinds is a superb product range to consider .”
The Uni-Blinds pleated blackout is suitable for a range of double glazed unit thicknesses , including an a 20mm cavity exclusively from Morley Glass . Each unit also benefits from a bespoke warm edge spacer bar to guarantee excellent thermal performance .
