Integral blinds are becoming an extremely popular home improvement across Essex, as homeowners discover their advantages over traditional internal blinds. But what exactly are they, and can they be fitted to windows you already have?
An integral blind is installed between the two panes of glass in a double-glazed unit. Sealed inside the glazing, the blinds never gather dust, never need cleaning and aren't susceptible to wear and tear. There are no dangling cords, and they offer a high degree of privacy without blocking out light.
The good news: yes, integral blinds can be added to existing windows. The sealed glazed unit is replaced with a new unit containing the blinds, while your existing frames stay exactly where they are, making it a smaller, quicker job than most homeowners expect.
They're a particularly good fit for hard-to-reach windows, busy family kitchens and anywhere you want clean lines without the clutter of curtains or conventional blinds.
