INTEGRAL VENETIAN
BLINDS – SOLUTIONS!
There is a definite interest in integrated venetian blinds in preference to
external blinds, particularly for conservatories and bi-folding doors.
Whether it’s the opportunity to show-off with
a new sophisticated
and stylish innovation, or the obvious
advantages of blinds
contained within the
sealed unit in an Argon
environment, integrated blinds are winners
all round providing a
solution to traditional
problems with blinds.
They don’t get damp,
dusty or dirty and they can’t
be abused by little hands or
paws.
Here, Phil Grimes, Sales
Manager for Corby based
SunShade Integrated Blind
Systems, tells Clearview about
the benefits for installers and
homeowners alike…
“There are many advantages to integrated venetian
blinds that might not be
obvious on first-look. They
can offer:
• a stylish and safe blind
solution
• an improvement in acoustics
• additional privacy due to
the edge-to-edge slats
• an improvement in energy
ratings through a reduction in heat and solar
glare
• a blind that is totally
sealed within double
glazed unit without compromising the integrity
of the hermetic seal thus
oblivious to dust, moisture and abuse
• no looped cords to get
tangles, dirty or fall off
the unit. Cords also have
the disadvantage of presenting a possible safety
risk for children or pets.
• a magnetic drive system
that is easy to operate and
gives longevity and safety
over the cord operated
systems. The magnets
retain their magnetic
properties, are hygienic
