Morley Glass has added an innovative option for its cordless magnetic sliding SV System integral blind, which makes controlling the blind easier in hard to reach windows, and provides a practical option for wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility.

A new device developed by ScreenLine integral blind systems manufacturer Pellini S.p.A. combines the magnetic slider, which is mounted on a profile guide down the left or right hand side of the glass, with a wand. It is similar to the wands typically used to tilt cord-operated manual Venetian blinds. This is designed to ensure the slider can be moved up and down to operate the blind with ease – performing all the usual functions at arm’s length.

The slider with integrated wand combines the standard, high quality SV slider device with a robust aluminium wand to maintain the visual appeal of the installed integral blinds.

Ian Short, managing director of Morley Glass said: “While many Uni-Blinds customers with reduced mobility may opt for an electronically controlled integral blind, such as our smart-home compatible MB System or solar powered W Smart, the SV or SV+ System are our biggest selling systems and we felt it was important to ensure they are not excluded from choosing them.”

The SV System uses a patented design to allow all the functions of the blind to be controlled by powerful magnets. This means there are no cords on the face of the glass unit, offering a sleek, easy to clean result.

The SV+ uses the same technology and control device but it offers a different aesthetic. Both blinds feature a slim guide down one side of the glass unit to allow the magnetic slider to connect with magnets inside the blind unit, but with the SV+, an additional side guide is fitted down the opposite side to provide a symmetrical appearance.

The SV and SV+ systems are available in a choice of colours including exclusive black, agate grey and anthracite.
