Integral Glass Blinds

Improve your bifolding doors with our quality range of integral glass blinds.  No other product improves your new bifolding or sliding door. You can even have them in fixed and opening windows. At North West Bifolds we offer the best integral blinds on the market from Hitech Blinds.  These come with more features than other brand s of blinds.  They also give you better durability, functionality and appearance.

Integral Glass Blinds for privacy and shade.

integral glass blinds

Integral Blinds are horizontal blinds permanently sealed between the glass of your new doors.  Because integral blinds come as part of the glass unit, always protected. You operate the blinds from outside the glass using a device on the frame.

Also known as interstitial blinds or integrated blinds, they do away with after-market curtains or blinds.  Best of all, they let you enjoy all the privacy you want without obscuring the modern lines of your new doors.

Suitable for most standard sizes doors and windows, integral glass blinds work with the high specification glass we provide to all our products.  Integral glass blinds improve the already excellent energy efficiency of the glass.

Furthermore, unlike after-market curtains or blinds they never need cleaning, won’t blow about in the wind, remain protected from children and do not gather dust.  Therefore, your blinds always look new.

Features and benefits of integral glass blinds.

Add the ultimate bifolding door accessory and make your home more comfortable. Integral blinds offer the latest in glass and shade technology and options in how you open and close them.  Here are some of the best features only available on our Hitech glass blinds.

Fully Symmetrical Appearance.

It may sound obvious. However, most integral blinds do not look symmetrical when fitted to your doors.  Our blinds are the only ones on the market with full, balanced sight lines on the left and right-hand sides of your bifolding door panel or window. You see a neat 35mm on each side. Other popular brands have 20mm on the left up to 60mm on the right.  It doesn’t always look right in your home.

A choice of colour combinations.

Our blinds come in a choice of ten different colours for the blinds and seven different colours for the blind frame.  Therefore you can have colour matched blinds or contrasting colours in any combination.  Get in touch with us for a free colour swatch or to view our blinds in situ.

Operate your blind with light and smoothy magnets.

Unlike other brands of integral blinds, our magnet controls are on one side only.  For you this means a neater looking blind, and you get to choose whether you want your controls on the left or the right.  Even better is easy identification. The large magnet raises and lowers the slats; the smaller magnet tilts them.

Even better is how light our blinds are to use every day. We use enhanced magnetic technology, therefore making your new blinds easy to use with just one finger. Slide up the magnet to lower the blind, slide down the magnet to raise it.

Integral blinds with a 10-year guarantee.

The sophisticated blind mechanism is so reliable; your new blinds come with a 10-year guarantee. Don’t just take our word for it.  The industry standard for integral blinds is only five years.  Our smart design means there is less strain on the mechanism, making our blinds last longer than others and a far more reliable blind too over the longer term.

No more lost magnets.

A common complaint on older integral blinds is the homeowner losing the magnets or them falling off the glass.  With our blinds, the magnets sit within their own guide rails.  As a result, the magnets stay in place, won’t fall off and don’t suffer from wrong positioning and faulty operation like other blind systems.

And other blinds with guide rails, charge extra for these.  Ours come as standard, free of charge.

These five great reasons why Hitech blinds are better than other brands ensure you get the most durable, usable and best looking integral blinds.

Even more features of integral blinds in windows and doors.

  • Quality metal blinds housed between toughened glass in doors.
  • A big choice of colours for slats and the blind surround.
  • Protect your furnishings from sun damage.
  • Excellent privacy thanks to close fitting slats.
  • Suitable for windows, doors, conservatory roofs and fixed windows.
  • 10-year guarantee.

The colour choices available with our blinds mean you can match your doors. Or why not choose a contrasting colour for a picture frame detail around your glass. Colour choice also means you can coordinate with interior furnishings and decor.

Best of all, you will find integral blinds offer a long-term solution, saving you money on new curtains and blinds.

Finally, if you have existing recently installed doors or windows, you can replace your glass with integral glass blinds (subject to survey).

Choose how to operate your integral blinds.

Our integral glass blinds use a reliable external magnet, sliding to raise, tilt and lower your blinds. No more dangling cords or wands, providing a neater solution. Also available are solar controlled, electric and remote control blinds too.

The glass used for integral blinds is Pilkington Activ Neutral and Planitherm Total plus with Argon Gas. Other glass specifications to suit individual requirements are available. Double glazed units are standard, but triple glazing is also possible.

You have purchased new doors and windows to enhance and improve the appearance of your home and individual rooms, so why obscure them with curtains and after-market blinds?

When we approached Northwest Bifolds, we were pretty certain that the doors we wanted were way beyond our budget. Thankfully, Steve was able to make suggestions for an alternative option. This option came within our budget without compromising quality at all.Steve was easy to work with and was very responsive to calls and emails. On the day of installation, Steve and his team were very professional. The finished product is high quality and we’d be happy to recommend his service to others.

Steve and his team supplied and fitted some Origin Bifold doors. Service and product were faultless. Steve suggested an alternative to the solar glass that I’d chosen. Excellent advise as from interior no tint is visible. Ended up specifying same glass on the whole of the project. Very efficient and professional service from start to finish. Would highly recommend.

Steve @ NW Bi folds, has just finished our project.Beyond expectations is the best way I could describe the whole install.As I built the extension myself, I was looking for a company that would help me along the way, with aspects such as opening sizes and level thresholds.Steve was brilliant from the very first Email. A quick quote and then always happy to pick up the phone to give advice. The Origin Bifolds are magnificent and I couldn't be happier.Thank you.

We are absolutely delighted; if we could score 10 stars then we would.The customer service we received at all stages was superb; from initial contact, through measuring up and the quote, to actual fitting and finishing off.The doors etc. are made by a company called Origin. If you visit their website and read customer reviews, you'll discover that Origin are leaders in the market. The materials are real quality and look great.North West Bifolds are one of Origin's preferred suppliers; who offer very competitive quotes. You won't be disappointed. So, in summary, you won't go far wrong if you trust North West Bifolds to supply and fit your next replacement windows and doors.

We would highly recommend Steve and his company who are professional, reliable, courteous and efficient. He came to our home to discuss our requirements at some length. Once we had decided on bifolds with integral blinds, and the frame and blind colours, everything went very smoothly. Steve fitted our doors and windows in one day, with no hassle or fuss, and the results are absolutely amazing! Thanks!

Big thanks to Steve and his crew for doing such a fantastic job. Fitted new windows and bifolds to our new extension as well as replacing all the existing windows to our cottage. Excellent service from the start giving help with selection and quotes. Really quick turnaround for bespoke windows and installation started next day after delivery. Had a few issues with the old window openings when our tired hardwood windows were removed, but Steve took all this in his stride! We couldn't of had worse weather during the insulation but this didn't stop any of the work, a really dedicated team.The quality of the Origin widows is exceptional, we went for the walnut finish and we are really pleased how it all looks. We would certainly recommend NorthWest Bifolds ... very friendly and easy to work with!

Well what can we say about these guys?About 18 months ago we had an extension built and we called Steve @ NW Bi folds to fit our doors with integral blinds fitted inside the glass.For the first 16 months the blinds were great until they became somewhat stiff and hard to use.We contacted Steve and he was out to inspect them straight away, After we and Steve had contacted integral blinds to raise are concerns not much was done,they at integral tried to put the blame on NW Bifolds or anyone else for that matter. Integral blinds must have the worst customer service we have ever come across, and as far as they are concerned our blinds still don't work properly. Now as for Steve and his son,they took it a lot more seriously and sorted our problem, Steve contacted another of his suppliers Hi Tec blinds, payed for and fitted at our new blinds at his own expense. That's what you call customer service .Well done NW Bifolds you went above and beyond your duty,Quality through experience.

Had two sets of Origin bi-fold doors supplied and fitted by North West Bifolds. Price was very competetive. Quality of the doors and their installation is excellent. Doors were installed within 7 days of paying deposit ( no other company could beat 4 weeks). Highly recommended.

I had my windows fitted 2 years ago by this company excellent service and quality. I have returned again to have my front door replaced. After an excellent consultation and a visit to the showroom we decided to have an Endurance solid secure door along with the ring CCTV door bell fitted. The options to customise your own door are excellent. Once again superb work completed. Highly recommend this company for their windows and doors. From beginning to end the company is professional,honest, trustworthy and extremely proud of their work. They are a great team of fitters who get the job done and are very clean and tidy to. Extremely happy customer thanks again .
