Integral blinds are the ideal solution for bi-folding doors! Large amounts of glass need screening for privacy and to control light, and when combined with large clear openings this causes problems. Because they are contained within the window itself, they can be concealed discretely when not in use, and stay out of the way when the doors are opened. The contemporary design of uniblinds means that the operational components of the Uni-Blinds are in the head rail and do not require an unsightly additional frame which diminishes the viewable glass area.
In addition to controlling light and heat from outside, integral blinds installations are low-maintenance. As they are contained within the double glazing unit itself, the blinds require no cleaning, always appear new and are protected from damage, making them great for busy family homes.
When opened, Uni-Blinds also provide up to 20% greater light transmission compared with other brands on the market such as “Push Block” blinds. This light, contemporary feel is why we recommend uniblinds in our bi-folding door installations, and makes them ideal for communal areas such as kitchens and conservatories.
