How It Works

Blinds inside glass are exactly what they sound like - an integral blind sealed inside the glass of a double-glazed unit. Here is how the system works from survey to installation.

Transcript

Blinds inside glass are built into a new sealed double-glazed unit. The blind sits between the panes, protected from dust, moisture and everyday handling.

During your survey we measure the existing glass unit, not the whole window or door. That means your current frames stay in place.

The replacement unit is manufactured with integrated blinds inside the glass. Depending on the system, you can choose venetian, pleated, magnetic, manual or electric operation.

On installation day, we remove the old sealed unit and fit the new one back into the same opening. The practical result is blinds inside the glass, with the finished sealed unit sitting neatly inside your existing frame.

Replace the glass, not the windows

A clearer route from survey to finished integral blinds

The practical change is the sealed glass unit. When the existing frame is suitable, the new double-glazed unit is made with the blind inside, then fitted back into the same opening. The survey confirms the final route before manufacture.

Existing frame stays

Suitable frames remain the starting point.

Replacement glass unit

The blind is built into the new sealed unit.

Survey confirms

Sizes, access, control and exceptions are checked first.

01
Survey
Measure the existing sealed unit
The survey starts with the glass unit already in your window or door, then checks the frame, beads, access and control route before anything is ordered.
What changes
The opening is translated into a measured specification for a new integral blind unit.
What stays
The suitable existing frame and opening are assessed rather than replacing the whole window.
Survey check
Frame condition, bead access, unit size, cavity depth and control clearance.
02
Specification
Match the blind, glass and control
The blind style, colour, glass make-up and control system are matched to how the room is used, how far you need to reach and whether power is practical.
What changes
Blind type, colour, control and glass specification are chosen for the measured unit.
What stays
The room style and window layout usually remain familiar when the frame is suitable.
Survey check
Reach, handedness, power or charging access, blind size limits and glass requirements.
03
Manufacture
Build the replacement glass unit
A new sealed double-glazed unit is manufactured with the blind enclosed between the panes, ready to be fitted into the existing opening.
What changes
The old sealed unit is replaced by a new double-glazed unit with the blind inside.
What stays
The window or door frame remains the reference point for the replacement glass unit.
Survey check
Final sizes, glazing make-up, unit weight, handling access and lead-time expectations.
04
Installation
Fit back into the existing frame
On installation day the old sealed unit is removed, the replacement blinds-inside-glass unit is fitted and the control is tested before handover.
What changes
The visible glass area gains integral blinds, with controls checked before handover.
What stays
Suitable existing frames typically stay in place; any trim, gasket or access exceptions are agreed from the survey.
Survey check
Safe access, bead and gasket condition, control movement, alignment and final cleaning.
