Get a free quoteIntegral blinds are rapidly becoming one of the most popular home improvements in the South West. Homeowners across the Bristol area are falling in love with their modern aesthetics and effortless functionality. But what actually are integral blinds, and how do they work?
Integral blinds are fitted between the panes of glass that make up a double or triple glazed unit. Despite being in between the panes of glass, the blinds can open or close manually or by an electronic operation.
They are made to measure and can be fitted into bifold doors, windows and conservatories. This blind system is ideal for controlling light and shade in both residential homes and commercial office settings. With their unique Venetian style, they add a sophisticated touch of style to your home and they will transform your living space.
Explore our range of integral blinds
With manual and automatic operating systems, our range of integral blinds are incredibly easy and accessible to use.
You can operate the blinds via a securely attached cord fitted to a magnetic device. This makes the blinds go up and down. Although a cord is used in this option, it’s held lightly under tension and fully complies with Make it Safe guidelines.
The Make it Safe campaign was launched by The British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) to raise awareness for safer blinds and keep babies and young children safe.
A cord-free option is also available. In this case, a single intelligently designed magnetic slider allows for the blinds to open and close effortlessly (see the image below).
A solar-powered motorised operation system is available. This system uses long-life reachable batteries, combined with an external solar panel. The motor moves the blinds up and down, operated by remote control or a control device magnetically attached to the window.
Yes. We can retroactively fit integral blinds into any glazing cavity, so long as it has a width of 20mm or more. We can achieve this by replacing the sealed unit of the window or door. Any type of frame material can support integral blinds, including uPVC and aluminium frames.
2600m is the largest cavity width that can support integral blinds. This makes them suitable for both triple-glazed windows and large commercial properties.
Yes. Integral blinds are a brilliant addition to any set of sliding patio doors. Thanks to their seamless integration with the sealed glazing units, the doors can slide effortlessly without any interference from the blinds, creating a seamless transition.
For the same reason, integral blinds are perfect for bifold doors, French doors, and any other type of product with large panes of glass. They allow you to control the amount of natural light coming into your home, without negatively impacting the performance of the door’s mechanism.
Integral blinds can offer privacy and provide a sleek and sophisticated look to any property. These aren’t the only benefits of these blinds.
Additional benefits are:
Integral blinds are designed to last as long as the windows or doors they are fitted into, which can be up to 25 years or more with proper care. Made of durable materials, integral blinds are sealed between glass panes, thus protecting them from wear and tear. While the lifespan of integral blinds can vary based on usage and maintenance, they are generally considered to be a long-lasting and low-maintenance option. Integral blinds also offer improved thermal efficiency by helping to keep the glass units insulated, in turn reducing heat loss and energy costs.
