TOP INTEGRAL BLIND COLOURS OF THE YEAR REVEALED
The UK ’ s largest manufacturer of bespoke ScreenLine ® integral blinds has revealed anthracite as 2023 ’ s most popular customer colour choice for Venetian blinds , narrowly pipping white to the post .
Anthracite accounted for over a third ( 34.5 %) of all sales of Venetian Uni-Blinds ® from Morley Glass , with white coming a close second at 32.4 %. Both these colours have dominated for several years now , but the sales data does suggest the arrival of a new kid on the block – black .
Whilst pleated Uni-Blinds ® have been available in black for a number of years , it was only in 2023 that a new black ( B160 ) Venetian blind was introduced to the ScreenLine ® range . And , given the orders already received in the first 12 months of manufacturing black Venetian units , this colour appears to have captured the imagination of property owners , already accounting for nearly 6 % of all sales .
Grey and silver blinds are also still highly popular , with standard silver ( S157 ) taking third spot with nearly 1 in 10 of Venetian integral blind sales , and light grey ( S155 ) seeing similar volumes to black .
Ian Short , MD of Morley Glass said : “ We continue to see white and anthracite windows and doors dominating across the market , whether that ’ s for PVC-U , aluminium or timber frames . But that doesn ’ t mean homeowner tastes are not changing , which is why we continue to work in conjunction with ScreenLine ® systems manufacturer Pellini S . p . A . to add new colour options to our portfolio .
“ The rapid growth of black Venetian Uni-Blinds ® sales shows how customers respond positively to colours that enable them to achieve an ‘ on trend ’ contemporary look in their home . Black fixtures and fittings have become hugely popular in interior décor
in recent years , and now we are seeing the appeal of black integral blinds grow too .”
One of the stand-out advantages of choosing Uni-Blinds ® with ScreenLine ® integral blinds inside is that all the colours are developed to the highest standards , which means they will resist fading and stay in pristine condition throughout their lifetime . Pellini ’ s R & D process for new colours is extensive , designed to replicate prolonged periods of the strongest sunshine and temperature extremes over a period of five years to ensure all ScreenLine ® colours represent the most trusted choice in the industry .
Whichever colour or control system is specified for Uni- Blinds ® integral blinds , Morley Glass will supply them with complimentary delivery in the industry ’ s shortest lead times . Venetian and pleated integral blinds , including pleated blackouts , can be delivered in as little as 10-12 working days when ordered by 10am on Thursdays .
