Integral Blinds Andover & Hampshire

Integral blinds are essentially windows with blinds inside, as opposed to having windows with blinds that hang off them. Having blinds inside windows means that they do not need to be cleaned, as they are sealed between the glass panes and are not exposed to dirt or dust. 

Our standard double glazed unit is manufactured as standard as a 28mm sealed unit, comprising a 4mm low emissivity leaf, 20mm argon gas filled cavity with a blind, and 4mm toughened glass.

Our magnetic integrated blinds are a simple yet functional, manually operated system. You use the blinds simply by sliding the control up and down within the control zone. The magnets move up and down quickly, which moves the blind up and down or operates the tilt function.

The blinds will move around twice the distance that you drag the control. The blind’s raise, lower and tilt functions are achieved using magnetic transmission through the glass, guaranteeing the glass unit’s hermetic seal.

The idea of integrating blinds into double glazing has become popular. Instead of the blind hanging behind the window or door, each glazed panel has an individual Venetian blind sealed inside the glass unit. Keeping the style (or the number of panes) down helps lower costs if you design or install new windows or doors.

You can specify the blinds with a quotation on our comprehensive range of glazing products. They will fit virtually any unit size between 300mm x 2000mm. We would be happy to supply a quote for replacement units. Please remember they need to be 28mm units. Get your integral blinds install into our range of windows or bi-folding doors.

When considering the installation of integral blinds, it can be helpful to know the key factors. Our integral blinds can be raised and lowered or tilted to regulate the level of light. Alternatively, they use a magnetic sliding operation system, won’t get dusty, provide privacy and can be combined with high performance energy rated glass.

Integral blinds do not break easily and are designed to last. Windows with built in blinds are operated by a magnetic slider rather than by hand, preventing them from being broken by excessive force. Unlike regular blinds, which can be damaged from UV sunlight, our Venetian integral blinds have a generally longer lifespan as they are not exposed to the elements.

Yes, as with blinds inside windows, you will have better control over the amount of light that comes through your Hampshire home, lessening the need for air conditioning. In the winter, integral blinds are great at keeping the warm air in so you can be less dependent on heating. Also, at KJM, our integral blinds can be combined with high-performance energy-rated glass to improve your carbon footprint further.
