Ideal shielding for many different glass units
Any modern window, door or screen with a minimum 24 mm pane cavity will harmonize with built-in blinds. So in addition to regular windows and doors, integrated blinds are also ideal for screening in many other types of glass units.
These include bi-folding and sliding doors, front doors, French windows, large panoramic windows, for office partitions, commercial glazing and in fire-rated and acoustic glass.
Venetian blinds with an angular shape
It’s popular to have office buildings and the like with glass facades and homes with large expanses of glass. It also features architectural glass solutions that go all the way up to the ceiling and gable. It brings more natural light to your office space or living room and creates a brighter environment. However, it is often a challenge to ensure good shading to control sunlight in the glazed areas, which are often high and angular in shape.
To solve this challenge, you can get angular shaped blinds to create the perfect electric shade. It’s a solution that matches the shape of the windows, and the motorized blinds make it easy and seamless to control sunlight in the high windows.

Operation of integrated blinds
There are several ways to operate integrated blinds. The integrated blind is available in both manual and motorized versions.
The most common are:
- Management board
- Magnetically controlled
- Automatically
- Electronic
- Sensor-controlled allows them to open and close as the ambient light changes
- Infrared, radio frequency and blinds as part of an automated home system are also available.
The motor can either be battery-powered or connected to the building’s mains. Battery-powered integrated blinds are operated from a battery module on the surface of the glass.
Motorized integrated blinds can be operated with a remote control (supplied as standard) and from a control box in the room.
A long-term blind solution
Investing in windows with built-in blinds is a long-term blind solution. When the glass units with blinds fit into your doors, you can’t change them like you can with regular blinds, roller blinds and pleated blinds.
So if you don’t like the blinds in the future, replace the entire glass unit, as the double glazing with integrated blinds is hermetically sealed. Therefore, you should carefully consider the pros and cons before choosing an integrated blind solution.
Things to know about windows with built-in blinds
01
The blind and the double glazing are one object
In the event of an integrated blind failure, the entire glass unit must be replaced. Furthermore, all double glazing today is hermetically sealed under factory-controlled conditions. Therefore, you cannot disassemble the sealed unit at any potential failure to repair the blind and then reassemble it.
02
Buy with great guarantees
It's important that windows with built-in blinds come from specialized glass companies. Each manufacturer offers their own warranty. For example, a general 10-year warranty on your door or window installation may not also mean 10 years on your blinds. Therefore, when buying windows with integrated blinds, make sure you check the available warranty.
03
Careful operation is required with built-in blinds
Although these double glazing units with integrated blinds are highly reliable products, they also require careful operation. Use caution when operating manual blinds with a cord, wand or magnet. Excessive force can damage the blind. Remember that you cannot access the blind in the unlikely event of twisting or another fault. Never attempt to repair double glazing with integrated blinds, as this will void the warranty.
04
Pay attention to color matching
The powder coating process of aluminum doors and windows will also apply to the aluminum frame that houses the blinds. That's why it's important to find out if your blinds and door frames match in color. Door and window materials and integrated blind components are not often painted by the same company. Although color matching with integrated blinds is excellent, you may not get an exact color match. Our article on the powder coating process and what you need to consider explains more.
