Integrated blinds just got a whole lot better
Posted on 18/04/2018
Integrated blinds are fast becoming the added value product of choice for many sectors. They’re quick and easy to install, they offer obvious and immediate benefits to the end-user, and they make a fantastic upselling opportunity for installers.
We’ve seen all sorts of blind systems appear over the last few decades. Some of them had a lot going for them – but for the perfectionists among us, they were never quite as good as they could have been. Put simply, manually controlled blinds have never fulfilled their potential.
But now that’s changing fast. There’s a new generation of robust, reliable, and exceptionally user-friendly neodymium-operated blinds on the market – and as a result, we’re seeing a resurgence in interest from homeowners and disillusioned installers right across the UK.
With the rise of wide-span glazing, particularly bifolds and large sliding patio doors, there’s never been a better time to start offering integrated blinds.
More glass area means more sunlight – great in some contexts, a nuisance in others. But when that light gets too much at the height of summer, integrated blinds are a quick and easy solution to control it.
Having the blinds incorporated in the glass unit itself removes any risk of tangling the cords or similar malfunctions, common when conventional blinds are used on doors (particularly when its windy, or when the door is forcefully opened or closed).
At HiTECH Blinds Ltd, we believe the products we provide are a major step forward. They offer magnetically optimised controls for rapid raise and tilt functionality.
They offer an extensive choice of colours – we’re the only UK manufacturer capable of delivering dual-coloured slats to match dual-coloured frames, and we also allow clients to choose any RAL or Pantone colour for perimeter frames, triple-glazed units with Georgian bars, and a whole host of other decorative options.
And our blinds offer market-leading robustness – not only accredited to EN 1279 standard but being tested to 10,000 cycles on a weekly basis, something never done before on sliding symmetrical integrated blinds.
They also come backed-up with a no-nonsense 10-year guarantee – twice that offered by any of our competitors on a similar type of system.
But regardless who manufactures them, integrated blinds are on the up – and now is the perfect time to take advantage of the lucrative upselling opportunities they provide.
