Slimline integral blinds now available in nine colours

Slim Uni-Blinds integral blinds designed to fit within the 16mm cavity of a double or triple glazed unit are available in more colours than ever after the introduction of six new colours by Morley Glass, including black and agate grey.

The ScreenLine SL16 Venetian integral blind system, which is exclusively available in the UK from Morley Glass, differs from standard integral blinds because it features slightly narrower slats with a width of 10mm rather than 12mm. This enables integral blinds to be fitted into the 16mm cavity of 24mm IGUs (insulating glass units), unlike standard integral blinds which are normally only compatible with a 20mm cavity.

The SL16 colour range was boosted recently to offer a level of choice that customers have come to expect with other Uni-Blinds integral blind systems. That means these versatile slimline integral blinds are now available in agate grey (S120), black (B160), white (S102), anthracite (S159), silver (S157), beige (S125), light grey (S155), metallic silver (S156) and cream (S149).

According to Morley Glass, with more colours to choose from in this slimline system, the greater the appeal to homeowners who are considering a renovation project for their home and wish to coordinate the integral blinds with their décor.

The company adds that this is one of the biggest sales opportunities for the SL16. Homeowners can retain their existing frames, because they are in good condition, and upgrade them by replacing the IGU with an integral blind unit.

In addition to 24mm IGUs with a 4-16-4mm configuration, the SL16 is also ideal for use in enhanced security, Part Q compliant 28mm IGUs. As these units typically require a 6.8mm laminated outer pane, the cavity is reduced compared to using a 4mm pane, but this is still compatible with the SL16 integral blind, giving customers the benefit of higher security and a shading and privacy solution in one product.

Ian Short, managing director of Morley Glass, said: “The appeal of coloured window and door frames, particularly more neutral tones, has really sparked the imagination of homeowners and developers in recent years.

We see this through the wider spectrum of sales across the industry compared to, say, ten years ago, with agate grey and black currently trending.

“What’s fantastic about the expanded colour range for the SL16 is that installers can respond to those customers looking to match their décor in retrofit projects, as well as those wanting to incorporate integral blinds into windows and doors where our standard systems cannot meet their needs.”

As with all Uni-Blinds integral blinds, the SL16 is made to order by Morley Glass in Yorkshire and supplied with complementary nationwide delivery to customers in as little as 10-12 working days.
