Integral blinds, explained

All the shade.
None of the clutter.

Internal glass blinds sit within the sealed glazing unit, leaving your windowsills clear and your doors free of hanging fabric. Morley’s Uni-Blinds combine Italian ScreenLine technology with UK sealed-unit manufacture.

Blinds inside windows, bifolds, sliding and French doors

Integral window blinds

Keep the sill clear and adjust privacy in kitchens, bathrooms or street-facing rooms. We check sealed-unit thickness, opening clearances and suitable controls.

Integral window blinds →

Bifold door blinds

Blinds travel with each glazed leaf. A contained system avoids loose fabric at the folding stack; the control must still clear adjacent doors and handles.

Explore SV+ slider blinds →

Sliding patio door blinds

Check the depth between sliding panels and the size of each glass unit. Motorised operation can be useful across a wider glazed opening.

French and entrance doors

Use matching blinds in paired doors or consider SL16 for compatible slimmer units. The frame, safety glazing and operating clearance decide what is possible.

Look beyond the blind

Glass options for integral blinds

We match the glass to the room, its orientation and the chosen blind system.

Low-E glazing

A low-emissivity coating helps reduce heat loss. Performance depends on the full sealed-unit build-up and frame, not the blind alone.

Solar-control glass

Worth discussing for sunny elevations and large expanses of glass. Coatings reduce solar gain, with a trade-off in light transmission and appearance.

Acoustic laminated glass

A specification to explore near busy roads. Glass thickness, cavity and the whole installed window affect the reduction in sound.

Obscure safety glass

Permanent privacy for bathrooms and overlooked spaces. Add a blind where adjustable shading is also wanted; the view remains obscured when it is raised.

For strongly sunlit elevations, dark blinds can absorb more heat. We will review glass and colour together. No whole-window U-value or temperature reduction is promised by this visualiser.
Plan your budget

How much do integral blinds cost?

There is no single fitted price for every window or door. The number and size of sealed units, glass specification and control system all affect the cost. A replacement glass-unit price is different from a price for a complete new door set.

The design studio uses illustrative prices, including VAT, for replacement sealed units with routine fitting into suitable frames. These are planning examples rather than confirmed Spectrum or Morley prices.

What changes the final quotation?

  • Glass sizes, safety glass and the required sealed-unit thickness.
  • Manual, solar-assisted or wired motorised operation.
  • Solar-control, acoustic laminated or obscure glazing.
  • New frames, access requirements, wiring and additional controllers.

Ask for a written quotation that separates glazing, installation and any electrical work. Finance eligibility is confirmed for your particular order.

From ideas to installation

Replacing glass units with integral blinds

1. Share your project

Send photographs, your postcode and approximate glass sizes. Tell us whether you want new windows or doors, or to retain your existing frames.

2. Check the specification

A survey confirms glass thickness, weight, dimensions and clearances. We review colours, glass, controls and any electrical provision before you order.

3. Fit and demonstrate

Your made-to-measure sealed units are fitted to the agreed specification. We explain operation and care, including battery or controller access where applicable.

A blind cannot be inserted into an existing sealed unit. Retaining the frames is possible only where a suitable replacement unit can be installed.

A few useful answers

Integral blinds: your questions answered

What are internal glass blinds?

Also called integral blinds or between-glass blinds, they sit inside a sealed glazing unit. The blind is protected from dust, cooking splashes and handling while you operate it from the room side.

Can they go in my existing windows and doors?

Often, if the frames can accept the required sealed-unit thickness, weight and dimensions. We replace the sealed glass unit; we cannot add a blind inside an existing sealed unit. A survey checks the frame, glazing beads, hinges and clearances.

Are they suitable for bifolds and sliding doors?

They can be a very practical choice because the blind is contained within the glass. The specific frame, slider, handle and stacking clearances still need checking. Choose the control system to suit how the doors open.

Which blind gives the best blackout?

Choose a dedicated pleated blackout system or the blackout version of ScreenLine Wave. Standard Venetian and Vanity pleated blinds manage light and privacy but are not blackout products. Other light sources can still affect room darkness.

Do the blinds need cleaning?

The enclosed slats or fabric are protected from everyday dust and dirt. Clean the glass and external controls as directed. Batteries, external components and operating mechanisms can still need attention or servicing.

Can I choose different glass?

Yes. We can discuss low-E, solar-control, obscure and acoustic laminated specifications. Safety glass is used where required. The exact build-up, appearance, weight and performance must be checked with the blind system; not every combination is suitable.

How much do integral blinds cost?

The examples here are illustrative budget models, not a Spectrum quotation or a Morley price list. Size, control system, glass, number of units and fitting requirements affect cost. Send us your specification for a written quotation.

Do you install across Essex?

Spectrum Glazing is based in Brightlingsea and works with homeowners across the Colchester, Clacton-on-Sea, Chelmsford, Maldon and wider Essex area. Ask us about your address and project.
