What are Integral Blinds?
Integral blinds are a specialist set of blinds that are encapsulated within double glazing units and are able to be opened and closed both manually and electronically despite being slotted between panels of glass.There are five control units and the option of three types of blinds to choose from: Venetian, Pleated and Pleated full blackout.
Integral blinds are the perfect option for bi-folding doors, conservatoires and regular windows and boast a wide range of benefits over regular blinds making them a popular option for households and institutions alike. This article shall explore the top five benefits that you will receive when you purchase integral blinds.
Child Friendly
A particular unique selling point of integral blinds is that they are child friendly and are backed by The British Blind and Shutter Association’s ‘Make It Safe’ campaign, launched to prevent infant injury through blinds.Integral blinds produced by Morley Glass come with safety graded cords, magnets or sliders which provides parents with peace of mind that their blinds are safe to be installed in the family home.
They Never Require Cleaning
While regular blinds require frequent cleaning to prevent the build up of dust particles, integral blinds do not require cleaning as they are dust resistant. The low maintenance makes integral blinds appealing to institutions such as hospitals and schools due to their hygienic properties of not requiring extensive cleaning and being allergy friendly.
Solar Control
Integral blinds can be solar controlled thanks to a solar charged battery that can be operated using a remote control. Once operated the motor will assist in moving the set of blinds up and down, thus, providing an eco-friendly option to users and removing the need to frequently manually open blinds or spend time replacing batteries. This, therefore, saves time and money as well as reducing one’s carbon footprint. The modern stylish remote is easy to use and can be placed in a position that suits the user such as attached to the sliding window in either a vertical or horizontal position.
Retain and Conserve Energy
Integral blinds are also energy efficient as they will help individuals to save money on their energy bills. In the winter months blinds can be fully opened to maximise the amount of light that will distribute throughout a room which is an alternative to heating a room through fire or central heating. Contrastingly, in the summer months users can operate integral blinds to be half or fully shut to reject sunlight coming into a room thus creating a cooler environment. This allows users to maximise heat in the winter months and save money on air conditioning in the summer and in turn perhaps notice a significant reduction in their energy bills.
Enhanced Privacy
The sleek contemporary design of integral blinds provides users with maximum privacy as individuals have full control over how much light they wish to allow into their home. This is particularly appealing especially within the current climate of home working when individuals may have confidential meetings which they need complete privacy to engage in and want to block outside distraction.
