Visitors to the Morley Glass stand at this year ’ s FIT Show will have their first opportunity to see new UK-exclusive ScreenLine ® integral blind colours , which have been developed to give style-conscious homeowners the perfect complement to their contemporary home décor . The company has been working closely with ScreenLine ® integral blind systems manufacturer Pellini S . p . A . to bring several new colour options to the UK market , ensuring that installers can provide the complete ‘ on-trend ’ windows and doors package .

In the spotlight on the 140 sq . m Morley Glass stand – L41 – will be the recently launched B160 black integral Venetian blind , which makes its UK public debut at the FIT Show . This colour has been developed to meet the growing trend amongst homeowners

to coordinate the integral blinds with other black and neutral colours in their home , including black window and door frames , which are becoming increasingly popular .

Visitors will also be able to see an exclusive new Agate grey option for Uni-Blinds ® Venetian blinds in the form of an RAL 7038 colour , along with a darker ‘ slate ’ grey – the S158 .

Another colour innovation on show will be a dual colour Venetian blind slat . This is grey on one side and white on the other , making it ideal for doors and windows where the customer seeks to retain a bright white colour inside their home , while applying a colour such as anthracite grey externally .

All these colour innovations are the result of an extensive R & D and testing process by Pellini , which is needed to ensure that the integral blind ’ s slats , cords , header rail , footer rail and any sideguides can be perfectly matched . The development process takes many months to replicate the conditions in-situ to check that the colour formulation will remain stable and not fade in strong sunlight , or cause any chemical reactions with the gas used to fill the sealed unit .

As with all the colours in the Morley Glass range , the new

options are available for all Uni- Blinds ® Venetian integral blind systems – the corded C System , the motorised MB System , the W Smart solar powered blind and two magnetic slider controlled blinds , the SV and SV +.

There are no extended timescales for orders either – all these new colours are available in the usual ordering timescale for Uni- Blinds ® which is within 10-12 working days , when ordered by 10am on Thursdays .

All Uni-Blinds ® integral blind systems are made in Leeds and delivery to UK customers is complimentary . Ordering is easy too , as Morley Glass has order processors dedicated to specific integral blind systems to ensure customers receive the best advice and technical guidance from the outset .

Complementing its current range of Uni-Blinds ® shading and privacy systems which take the form of integral blinds – Venetian and pleated blinds encapsulated within double or triple glazed units – switchable smart glass gives installers an additional solution for high-end residential and commercial projects .

Switchable smart glass provides instant privacy using electricity . The laminated glass incorporates a thin film which changes from its opaque state when the power is off , to transparent when the electricity supply is switched on .

It is straightforward to install and growing in its appeal amongst property owners . This is particularly the case for those who are seeking to incorporate shading into their windows and doors with the ultimate minimalist look , given that there is no control system visible other than a switch or remote control .

Its introduction means Morley Glass customers can source the full range of premium quality interior and exterior shading

and privacy solutions from one supplier – all with assured quality and unrivalled design , installation and aftersales support . As with its market leading integral blinds brand , Uni-Blinds ®, Morley Glass is partnering with a highly respected manufacturer to ensure the new switchable smart glass meets the highest performance and quality standards .

Switchable smart glass is one of several new Morley Glass products debuting at the 2023 FIT Show . The company will also be showcasing its new integral blind for flat glass rooflights plus a number of new colour options for its integral blinds , including the recently launched black ( B160 ) Venetian blind , plus a dual coloured slat . In addition to the product displays , the Morley Glass stand will also feature a video wall showing a fly-through video following the manufacturing process for its integral blinds . And visitors to its stand will also have an opportunity to join in the company ’ s 25th anniversary celebrations , which will include the chance to win one of 25 prizes simply by unwrapping one of

its specially produced chocolate bars . Ian Short , MD of Morley Glass said : “ Over the last two decades we ’ ve seen a strong appetite amongst homeowners for products that offer innovative , high quality upgrades to windows and doors , so we see excellent potential for switchable glass to be more than just a niche product .”

Morley Glass has a limited number of free VIP Passes available for free early bird breakfast , use of the VIP business and networking lounge and free refreshments throughout the day in the VIP lounge , plus other benefits .
