With the late winter and early spring period being peak period for homeowners preparing their homes for summer , now is the perfect time to promote the benefits of pleated blackout integral blinds according to Morley Glass .

The manufacturer of Uni- Blinds ® integral blinds has offered a pleated blackout variant for several years now , and every year the company sees an increase in enquiries and quotes for the system in the first quarter . It enables homeowners to switch a room from light to complete darkness in an instant , even during the strongest sunshine , given its design which means there is no light ‘ bleed ’ around the edges of the blind or along the cords .

Pleated blackout Uni-Blinds ® are manufactured in the UK exclusively using ScreenLine ® integral blind systems , the world ’ s number one system , and

can be fitted into all kinds of new windows and doors as well as for retrofits . It is available in a variety of manual and motorised control systems and customers can choose from eight different colours for the internal face of the high quality blackout fabric .

Importantly , the integral blind units are produced in the

industry ’ s shortest lead times , just 10-12 working days when ordered by 10am on Thursdays , and all UK mainland customers benefit from complimentary delivery . This rapid turnaround means installers can respond to customer requests well ahead of the arrival of the long summer days .

Ian Short , MD of Morley Glass , said : “ This year British Summer Time begins on 31st March which many of us will welcome as we can start to enjoy the great outdoors much later into the evening . But for parents of young children whose early bedtime isn ’ t so compatible with lighter evenings , shift workers who need to sleep during the day , or for those with a cinema room or other space where bright sunshine affects its use , the April to September period comes with its problems .

“ That ’ s where our pleated blackout integral blind can help .

It is designed to provide darkness in an instant due to how it blocks light transmission in a way that Venetian blinds and standard vanity blinds won ’ t . The system has proved really popular since we introduced it to the range , with end-users not only choosing it for children ’ s bedrooms or nurseries , but also for bedrooms which face out on to busy streets where streetlights and car headlights can be a nuisance through the night .”

The Uni-Blinds ® pleated blackout integral blind is ideally suited to retrofitting into existing window or door frames because it can be specified for slimmer double glazed units which have a 20mm cavity . This is exclusively available from Morley Glass and makes the system more compatible with many older profile designs .
