Hermetically Sealed Venetian Blinds
Fire and Non-Fire Rated
Features:
An original new product based on a slim Venetian blind, sealed hermetically between two pieces of glass
which is then held in the door or wall by a two part mild steel vision frame kit.
The first hermetically sealed Venetian blind system to achieve fire ratings on timber doors within the UK and
Ireland.
This revolutionary product has been developed and successfully fire tested in conjunction with Pilkington, the
world leader in glass technology.
Since the blind is encased within the glass, it provides a clean dust-free appearance, preventing moisture,
condensation and dirt.
No cleaning of the slats is necessary and they are always pristine and cannot be damaged since they are permanently
sealed.
The blind is operated by a magnetic dial operator without breaking the insulating seal. This operator can be
either secured permanently to the unit or used as a removable device to prevent unauthorised use of the blind.
With great aesthetics this product has a modern appeal and is hygienic and truly maintenance free.
The double glazed blind is supplied with mild steel vision frame trims with slim projection that hold the unit
within the door. The blind unit can also be supplied as a stand alone unit for fixing into a door with timber
beading.
Blind slats can be supplied in nine architectural colours. For large projects, blinds can even be manufactured
incorporating more than one colour, e.g. alternate blue and yellow.

Applications:
The hermetically sealed unit means that dust and dirt is never going to be a problem, so is ideal for providing
privacy in hospital wards and private clinics, and for use in clean room areas.
It can also assist in maintaining confidentiality in interview rooms, research establishments and office environments.
It also provides the opportunity for covert viewing without the need to intrude into observation rooms,
for example schools and institutes. Where security is required in banks and financial institutions, it is a neat
unobtrusive method of achieving this.
The blind would be most suitable for the following:
• Hospitals
• Health centres
• Doctors’ surgeries
• Elderley persons care and retirement homes
• Mental institutions
• Universities, colleges and schools
• Banks, building societies and other financial institutes
• Pharmacies
• Opticians
