They feature rapid raiseand-lower functionality and come with a comprehensive 10-year warranty for your peace of mind!
Magnetic integral blinds are the most popular choice among our range of integral blind options. These blinds are operated using two small, discreet control blocks mounted on the surface of the glass. The magnetic controls are manually operated and effortlessly slide up and down the unit, allowing you to raise and lower the blinds or tilt them open and closed.
The blinds move twice the distance of the controls, making the system both efficient and easy to use while saving time and effort. Their operation is similar to that of conventional blinds—one control is used to tilt the blinds open and closed, while the other raises and lowers them.
Our magnetic slider system can pretty much do it all. While competitors have to resort to offering all kinds of systems that are inferior in operation, such as cords, wands and knobs – in our opinion these systems render your integral blinds useless if you wish to raise and lower the blinds, as it becomes very unpleasant and time consuming. We can manufacture our slider system up to 2000mm wide, and up to 2800mm height, this is in our rapid raise and lower slider system. We can also manufacture our integral blinds as narrow as 200mm in width, and as small as 200mm in height, allowing you to have integral blinds in small glazing areas such as fanlights, toplights, and sidelights. Our manual magnetic slider system is manufactured using the worlds leading components and the latest magnetic technology. Our manual magnetic integral blinds can be raised and lowered in seconds, using 1 finger, even with larger units in bifolding doors, our rapid raise and lower integral blinds can be operated in seconds by sliding the control up and down the face of the glass.
Our rapid raise and lower magnetic integral blinds are the result of high quality components, and decades of manufacturing experience. Every single one of our magnetic controls is tailored to the size and weight of the blind it operates, we take the time and effort to do this to ensure the end user is getting a system that is very easy and smooth to operate

SYMMETRICAL AS STANDARD

Our slider manual magnetic integral blinds are symmetrical as standard, which means that there is a side profile on both the left and right hand side of the sealed unit. Technically, there only needs to be a side profile on one side, which is the side you choose to have your controls, however we put a side profile on both sides to achieve a symmetrical finish, as in our experience it is what homeowners want and prefer. You always have a headrail at the top of the sealed unit.

MANUAL MAGNETIC – One system that does it all

Our most common system is our magnetic system which is controlled manually by hand using two small discreet magnetic controls which sit on the face of the glass. The controls sit on the face of the perimeter of the glass, and can either be on the left or right hand side of the unit. One of the control blocks operates the raising and lowering of the blind, sliding the control up and down the glass in turn raises and lowers the blind inside the unit. The second control block operates the tilt function, moving the control up and down the glass tilts the blind open and closed. The internal blind moves twice the distance as the control, therefore you only have to slide the control up or down 50% of the height of the glass in order to fully raise or lower the blind. With integral blinds you have the same functionality as a conventional blind, you are able to tilt or rotate the slats to various different angles, as well as raise and lower the blinds to various levels.

MAGNETIC CONTROLS

Slim and discreet
We use the latest enhanced magnetic technology when it comes to our magnetic controls. We feel our magnetic integral blinds are the easiest to raise and lower in the industry, not only does this improve the user experience, but it also puts less strain on the internal mechanism which makes our system more durable, which is why we offer the longest warranty in the industry, 10 years. It’s also very important if you have a large number of integral blinds, say for example if you have several integral blinds across several panes of bifolding doors, the last thing you want is integral blinds that are both difficult and time consuming to raise and lower. Our integral blinds can be raised and lowered with 1 finger within seconds. Every single magnetic control we put out onto the market is tailored to the size and weight of the blind it operates, using the latest enhanced magnetic technology allowing you to raise and lower your blinds easily and rapidly. Your colour of your magnetic controls will be matched to the colour you choose for the perimeter frame of your integral blinds

COLOUR MATCHED CONTROLS AND GUIDERAILS

Our magnetic control blocks are always color-matched to your integral blinds for a seamless appearance. As shown in the image on the right, the controls are positioned on the perimeter of the glass surface and can be placed on either the left or right side.

We also offer guiderails as a complimentary option, which are also color-matched to your integral blinds. These unique guiderails are designed to keep the controls securely in place. They prevent the controls from being moved outside the magnetic control zone, which could otherwise result in the controls disengaging from the internal magnets, falling to the floor, and potentially being damaged. In the image on the left, you can see the magnetic controls neatly slotted into the guiderail.

Design, Functionality & Sightline Considerations

Magnetic integral blinds come with both a headrail at the top, and a perimeter frame on the left and right of the glass that are both also sealed inside the glass, this is required in order to conceal the components that make the internal blinds work, for example, the magnets inside the control casings connect to internal magnets that are attached to the strings of the internal blinds, which is all concealed inside either in the left or right side perimeter frame, depending if you have the controls on the left or right hand side. Once your magnetic integral blinds are installed, approximately 30mm of the perimeter frame will be visible on the lefthand and right-hand side, being equal on both sides of the unit, providing a symmetrical finish. Technically, the perimeter frame will is only needed on one side; the side where you choose the controls to be, however, we always put the perimeter frame on the opposite side to provide a clean symmetrical look.

IIf you are concerned about losing sightline as a result of the perimeter frame when considering our magnetic integral blinds, you can opt to have the perimeter frame just down one side of the glass, this will be down the side where you choose to have your controls, having the perimeter frame just on one side means that you lose less sightline/glass area. Although you lose a little sightline when installing our magnetic integral blinds, the multitude of benefits you get from installing them outweighs that small compromise. We have retrofitted our magnetic integral blinds into thousands of window and door frames across the UK, and we have never had a client that has regretted their decision.
