Morley Glass launches ScreenLine Wave
ScreenLine Wave, the latest addition to the Uni-Blinds integral blinds range 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.
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. According to Morley Glass, its minimalist design aligns 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.
A powerful motor takes care of raising and lowering the blind, controlled using a wall-mounted switch or remote control.
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 who want to make their own original design statement. As with all our Uni-Blinds, it is a system that provides the perfect combination of aesthetics, functionality and performance, with a five-year warranty for peace of mind.”
Thermal performance is achieved through a combination of factors. The reflective properties of the blind’s film, which features a PVD coating, coupled with the 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.
Morley Glass offers lead times of as little as 10-12 working days when ordered by 10am on Thursdays, and all orders are supplied with complimentary delivery.
