SCREENLINE ® WAVE PROVIDES NOVEL‘ INDUSTRIAL LOOK’ INTEGRAL BLIND
The latest addition from Morley Glass represents a major innovation in shading and privacy technology because it provides an alternative Venetian or pleated blind styles for the first time.
HUP! SHORTLISTED TWICE FOR G25 NEW PRODUCT OF THE YEAR
The hup! building system from Ultraframe has been shortlisted twice for New Product of the Year at the prestigious G25 Awards, for its Base solution and Brick Slip Rails System.
The hup! Base is an innovative base solution that transforms the way installers approach this crucial stage of a project and has been designed to bring new levels of predictability, speed, and simplicity to a site. The Brick Slips Rails system was developed by Ultraframe to be the fastest, most durable and easiest way to install brick slips on the market.
Ultraframe Marketing Director, Alex Hewitt, said:“ The awards are a key date in the industry calendar, and they provide a wonderful opportunity to shine a spotlight on the innovation that drives our industry forward. The hup! Base was developed to overcome the many issues that can occur during the base aspect of a project; difficult ground conditions, awkward obstructions underground, unforeseen costs, waste disposal and the sheer mess all play a part in making traditional foundations one of the most unpredictable aspects of a build, especially on small sites. For installers and homeowners alike, the hup! Base represents a step change in how bases are approached: faster, cleaner, more sustainable, and more predictable than ever before.
“ The hup! Brick Slips Rails system was also developed to solve issues that installers have had to put up with for many years. Other rail solutions were very pricey and matching the bricks to the existing house can be impossible. There were also other drawbacks with existing domestic board solutions – the cost, the weight of the boards and the fact they are prone to damage during transit. Brick mesh solutions appear thinner than real bricks and often have rounded( unrealistic) corners, while other systems which require fixing of the slips on site need adhesive, which is time consuming and fraught with the risk of adhesive failing. hup! brick slips are incredibly simple to affix and once pointed, the finished appearance is indistinguishable from a traditional brick wall.”

Developed over a 10-year R & D programme by ScreenLine ® systems manufacturer Pellini S. p. A., Wave is a motorised shading system equipped with an ultra-thin polyester film encapsulated between the panes of glass of an IGU. Two versions are available – a white‘ dim out’ option designed to provide subtle shading and a degree of privacy or a blackout blind, which is black on the inside and grey externally.
Exclusively available from Morley Glass, ScreenLine ® Wave has a unique horizontal wave geometry that provides an interesting aesthetic dimension unlike any other integral blind. Its minimalist design aligns beautifully with contemporary décor based around an industrial, urban look, particularly the blackout version given its black finish internally, which has an appearance similar to a micro-perforated steel roller shutter from a distance.
Wave’ s original visual appeal is backed by effective performance in respect of optimising the window or door’ s thermal insulation and managing levels of solar gain. This makes the integral blind an excellent choice for windows and doors that contribute to creating more comfortable living spaces, reducing the risk of summertime overheating and helping to cut heating costs during cooler periods of the year.
A powerful motor takes care of raising and lowering the blind, controlled using a wall-mounted switch or remote control. As the blind is totally encapsulated within the IGU, it will never attract dirt, meaning it does not require cleaning and will retain its pristine appearance throughout its lifetime.
Ian Short, Managing Director of Morley Glass, commented:“ ScreenLine ® Wave’ s appeal comes with its kookiness – it is something a bit different and that’ s
going to catch the attention of homeowners and developers.” Excellent thermal performance is achieved through a combination of factors. The reflective properties of the blind’ s film, which features a PVD coating, coupled with IGU’ s patented spacer bar design, maximise the integral blind’ s insulating properties when combined with the high performance glass options provided by Morley Glass.
ScreenLine ® Wave can be used within double and triple glazed IGUs with a cavity of 20mm or 22mm. Morley Glass can manufacture these units to a specification with a very low U-Value by using Planitherm One and, for applications where the goal is to provide a high level of solar control, such as for elevations facing strong sunlight regularly, Saint- Gobain COOL-LITE SKN 176 II.
As with all Uni-Blinds ® integral blinds, Morley Glass offers an industry-leading lead time of as little as 10-12 working days when ordered by 10am on Thursdays, and all orders are supplied with complimentary delivery.
