From the Editor
Welcome to the Blinds & Shutters Buyers’ Guide
2022, the only UK directory for blinds, shutters,
awnings and grilles. This is the essential guide for
manufacturers, retailers and specifiers such as
architects and designers, to source components
and finished products,.
Last year I wrote about the ‘new normal’, that
limited contact with other households. It
impacted all aspects of business and home life.
As I write there are still guidelines in each country,
but some overseas travel has been possible. With
COVID-19 appropriate behaviour and the
vaccination progamme, the future seems more
optimistic than this time last year.
This edition of the Buyers’ Guide contains
useful and practical information, such as the
revised Glossary that starts on page 5. In the Year
in Review starting on page 26, we take a look at
the issues that dominated the headlines. On page
30 the Smart Buildings Show 2021. proved to be
the biggest and best yet! Features on new
products start on page 31, whilst the BSI revised
some of the Relevant Standards, and this section
can be found on page 109.
The A-Z Section and Buyers’ Guide Section
provides information relating to 450 businesses
and 50 different product types.
We hope that you find this year’s directory an
invaluable aid to sourcing suppliers to provide the
solution to your specific needs.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank
all the businesses that have contributed to the
completion of this directory. If you have any
comments, suggestions or would like to be
included in the next edition, please email me at

The Blinds & Shutters team wish you all the
very best for 2022!

GLOSSARY
Glossary
of Blinds and Shutters products
1. INTERNAL
BLINDS
3D ROLLER BLINDS
A settled combination of transparent and
translucent fabric uses pattern to give an
unusual 3 dimensional effect.
ACOUSTIC BLINDS
Not to be confused with sound proofing,
acoustic blinds reduce noise reverberation
within the room preventing ‘echo effects’
whilst providing efficient shading.
ANTI-GLARE ROLLER
BLINDS
The blinds consist of a transparent solar film
fitted to an aluminium roller which may be
spring loaded, friction or chain ball side operated.
Where conditions dictate, the roller blind
can be mounted inside a cassette which will
protect the film from dust, hostile
atmospheres and possible mechanical
damage when not in use.
Solar films consist of thin layers of
polyester which can be clear or dyed to
various colour specifications and degrees of
darkness to produce the anti-glare effectiveness
of the film with a resultant benefit of
reduced eye strain.There may also be a
micro-thin coating of aluminium between
the layers which rejects infra-red rays and
gives the film its heat reflecting/heat
rejecting properties. This feature can reduce
heat build up and mean a saving in air
conditioning power consumption and costs.
All solar films absorb over 97% of UV
light which reduces the fading effect (antifade)
and other destructive features of
sunlight such as skin damage.
Types
Grey/silver film – offers a high degree of glare
protection combined with a high degree of
heat reflection.
Grey/grey film – this film has excellent glare
protection without the obvious reflection
associated with the above.
Bronze/bronze film – almost the same
properties as grey/grey but with a bronze hue.
Grey/gold film – highly heat reflective with
excellent anti-glare properties. The most
effective of all the films.
Clear film – anti-fade only. Used mainly in
shop windows and hospital dermatology
wards.
Amber film – anti-fade with a little heat and
glare rejection. Used mainly as shop window
blinds.
Components – see roller
blinds (page 10-12).
BLACKOUT AND
DIM-OUT BLINDS
These blinds are those based on the roller blind.
Blackout blind – blind giving as near to total
light exclusion as possible.
NOTE: It is near impossible to achieve 100%
light exclusion with a blind that can be
opened. This excludes the use of working
blackout blinds in such situations as photographic
dark rooms where high speed emulsions
are exposed. Blackout blinds have totally
opaque fabric and are fully enclosed in casing.
Dim-out blind – blind giving a substantial
reduction in light level but still allowing a
certain amount to penetrate. They may be
plain roller blinds or may make use of casing
or masking. The level of dim-out is best
specified by reference to the use required
of the blind.
Dark blinds – see dim-out blinds above.
Audio visual blinds – generally low level
dim-out blinds for such purposes as slide
projection, presentations and VDU screens.
This term is most usually applied to special
venetian blinds.
(see page 14).
Components
Roller – can be spring assisted or plain roller
operated by pull cord and cleat, ball chain,
pull tape, gear and handle or electric motor
(see roller blind section).
Fabric – also cover or blind cloth.
Bottom rail (also bottom bar or hem bar) –
rail fitted to bottom or leading edge of fabric.
Cross rib (also wind lath or windcheat) – a
stiffening rod usually held in a pocket across
the width of the blind to prevent wind
blowing the blind out of the casing.
Edge stud (also button) or edge bead (zip) –
a device fitted to the edge of the fabric to
prevent it pulling out of the special side
channel.
Side Channel Fillet Cill Channel
Blind Box Top Masking Side Masking
Blinds & Shutters Buyers’ Guide • 2022 5

GLOSSARY
Blind box (also headbox or roller casing) –
total enclosure for the blind roller with
removable face for access.
Side channel (also side guide or side groove
channel) – section in which the edge of the
blind runs.
Cill channel (also bottom channel or bottom
groove) – to form light seal at bottom edge
of blind.
Fillets (also batten grounds) – usually in
wood. Fitted to enable casing to be installed.
Light seal (also sealing strip) – applied when
fixing blackout blinds to uneven surfaces to
render join light proof. Can be foam strip,
felt, mastic or brush.
FIRE CURTAINS/BLINDS
Fire resistant curtains or blinds to protect
escape routes and limit fire damage to
building fabric and contents. Removes the
need to erect solid fire walls, facilitating open
plan design. Can be suitable for large areas of
containment.
The curtain or blind can be retracted and
concealed in a compact housing hidden within
the ceiling, until deployed. A signal from the
fire alarm (if integrated into an existing fire
alarm system) would activate the drive-roller
mechanism to lower the curtain to the
operational position.
HEAVY DUTY
CONTRACT ROLLER
BLINDS
The extent of the spans that are possible
can be overlooked because of the popular
perception of roller blinds being mainly
suitable for domestic applications. Widths of
up to 6 metres and drops of 4-5 metres are
commonly available, whilst even larger sizes
are possible.
These sizes require rollers and
mechanisms that are otherwise used for
shutters and shopblinds. Consideration must
be given to the make up of the fabric.
Dimensional stability is even more
important which will require hems and
cross seams and a secure method of
attachment to the roller.
Provided suitably robust components and
fabric make up is specified, the scope of
applications is extensive.
Types, operation & components
(see roller blinds page 10-12)
HONEYCOMB/CELLULAR
BLINDS
Cellular Blinds use a honeycomb fabric and
can be used for all types of windows
including those with shaped glazing.
This is a type of pleated blind meaning
that the fabric of the blind folds or
concertinas up when the blind is retracted.
When viewed from the side this cellular
fabric looks like a honeycomb structure and
this allows the inner cords of the blind to
pass through the fabric but not be visible on
either side of the blind. The gap between
the front and back faces of the fabric also
acts as an insulating layer making cellular
blinds a good solution for preserving heat in
the winter and rejecting heat in the summer.
Cellular fabrics come in a wide range of
colours and some have a blackout lining so
with no holes in the fabric these make
effective dim-out blinds.
Like many blind styles cellular blinds can
be manually or electrically operated using
low voltage motors.
Types
Free hanging
Cord operation passing through a cord lock
for operational control.
Tensioned
To be fitted in a rooflight or sloping window.
Can be fitted with frame or used with side
channels and/or guide wires through the
fabric. They may be cord, wand, hand draw
or operated by electric motor.
Shaped
Most unusual shapes are easily covered
using cellular blinds e.g. rectangular,
triangular, and circular.
Dual function
Three rails may be used with a different
fabric in each section e.g. with the midrail
to the headrail, a 'daytime' fabric is
in the window and from the mid-rail to
the bottom rail, a 'night time' fabric is
viewed.
Components
Head and Bottom Rail sections
Anodised or painted aluminium.
Cord
Made from polyester.
Brackets
Galvanised or painted steel.
Cord lock
Locking mechanism to secure the blind in
the raised position.
Cleat
Nylon used to secure cord instead of a cord
lock.
Tension wire
PVC coated steel or Kevlar coated cord.
Child Safety
Always consider window blind cord and
chain safety in buildings where children live
or may visit.
INSECT SCREENS
The Food and Hygiene Regulations require
that windows in commercial food
preparation areas which open to the
outside environment are fitted with a means
of preventing the entry of birds and other
infestations. It is essential therefore that a
properly designed screening system is used.
To be effective, insect screen systems
should be permanently insect proof, and
moveable screens must have seals that
remain insect proof even after thousands of
opening and closing operations.
Types and operation
Fixed screens – panels fixed direct to the
window frame and which do not operate.
Hinged screens – panels that are hinged on
one side.
Sliding screens – panels slide in a track system.
Roller screens – roller blind type with boxing
and side guides.
Screen doors – self-closing screens for
doorways.
Components
Frames – anodised or stove enamelled
aluminium.
Fabric – PVC coated glassfibre; rot-proof mesh.
Side guides – for roller screens to retain the
edge of the fabric and seal against insect
ingress.

GLOSSARY
INTEGRATED BLINDS
(Also known as Interstitial
and Integral Blinds)
These Venetian blinds are fitted between
the two sheets of glass that comprise a
double glazed sealed unit. Being
encompassed within a sealed unit the
blinds cannot get dirty or damaged and
cannot be played with by children or pets.
The blinds are perfect for use in folding
doors and can be used as room dividers
and office partitions as they provide a
solid barrier that allows both privacy and
light to be controlled.
Integrated blinds consist of two main
elements; a rigid head and foot rail (there
may also be side rails depending on the
type of blind) and slats or pleated fabric.
The head, foot and side rails, and the slats
are all constructed of aluminium. All blinds
allow for the slats or pleated fabric to be
raised and lowered whilst the slats may
also be tilted and turned (through
approximately 170 degrees). The minimum
cavity to accommodate the blinds within
the sealed units is 20mm so the majority
of sealed units are 28mm, which is the
standard unit width for most aluminium
and PVCu window and door systems.
All Integrated blind sealed units have
toughened glass but there are many types
of glass that can be used e.g.– Low
Emissivity, fire rated, solar controlled,
laminated, acoustic.
There are three types of operating
systems for Integrated blinds – a pull-cord
system, a sliding magnet system and
motorised. Both manual operations use
magnets as the drive components; the
pull-cord system uses a rotating magnet
whilst the sliding magnet systems moves
up and down the side rails. The motorised
blinds can be powered by either mains or
solar panel.
There can be up to fourteen colours
available in both the rails and slats, and up
to twelve fabric colours. Often customers
will colour coordinate the slats with the
rails but it is possible to mix the fourteen
colours between these elements.
INTERNAL/PLANTATION
SHUTTERS
Interior wooden shutters have been a
huge favourite in the USA for over a
hundred years and are fast becoming
popular in the UK, as they provide
elegance and character in addition to
shading, privacy and added security.
Most shutters have adjustable louvres
(usually 48mm or 31mm) for light control,
providing shade in summer and added
warmth in winter. Solid panel options are
also available offering combinations of
wood, metal, acrylic and other materials.
Wood panels can be custom finished in
natural wood stains or a variety of eggshell,
paint colours.
Configuration/Installation
Types
There are three main configuration styles
when fitting shutters:
Full Window – A single set of panels installed
to a window covering the full height of the
window.
Tier on Tier – A twin set of panels covering
the upper and the lower half of a single
window. The upper and lower panel sets
operate inde pendently of each another,
enabling one set to be closed whilst the
other is open or folded back.
Café Style – A single set of panels fitted to
the lower half of a window only, providing a
solution for privacy at the lower level, whilst
allowing in maximum light at the top.
Installation Options:
Flush fitted inside a reveal – This installation
option requires an experienced measurer/fitter
to ensure that the quality of the fit is
equivalent to the quality of the product.
Surface fitted onto a batten frame – This is
recommended for ease of fitting as the
shutters are fitted onto a matching frame,
provided with the shutters, rather than into
a recessed surround, which may not be
square. This forgiving method allows for
more measuring tolerance and is
recommended for newcomers.
Fitted to a top track – This installation
option offers an alternative mounting style
and is most commonly used on larger
windows. The shutter panels are suspended
from a track, which is top fixed within the
recess. The panels then slide back and
forth in the same manner as a
mirrored wardrobe.
Typical Components
Shutter panel frame and louvres –
wood or acrylic.
Shutter in-fill panels – wood,
metal, acrylic.
Hinges – brass or chrome.
Knobs – brass, chrome, aluminium or wood.
Top track – aluminium track profile usually
faced with a decorative pelmet.
MID-PANE AND
PARTITION BLINDS
The trend away from open plan offices has
created a demand for fully glazed
partitioning. The addition of a venetian or
vertical blind between the panes of the
double glazed frames offers both privacy
and the open plan effect. Blinds fitted
between double glazing are more effective
in reducing solar heat gain than blinds
mounted internally. Controls are traced
through the frame of the glazing and are
normally a combined mono type control
utilising a gearbox for both raise and tilt
functions. Operation is by means of a
cranked rod or ball chain. It is advisable to
consider access for the control mechanisms
at the design stage and ideally the window
frames should be pre-drilled before
installation. Fully sealed double glazed units
may use magnets or low voltage integral
motors for control.
Operation
Tilt control – a flexible bowden cable with
PVC sleeving from the headrail through the
frame to an aluminium or plastic tilt knob.
Gearbox control – direct mono control from
a gearbox in the headrail through the frame
to an operating knob or ball chain drive.
Electric operation – usually only tilt/rotation
with a low voltage motor.
Dual control – cord lift traced through frame
within a spring and tied off to a cleat, tilt
control with bowden cable and PVC-coated
steel twist rod. Not suitable for sealed units.

GLOSSARY
MOTORISED BLINDS
Almost all types of blinds can be
motorised.
(See page 24 - Electric Operation)
PANEL BLINDS
Panel blinds consist of large fabric or woven
wood panels that stack neatly behind each
other when open. When closed, a complete
fabric screen is created that combines good
solar shading with very contemporary style.
They can be used as window blinds or room
dividers.
Available in 3, 4 or 5 track options, the
number of panels and panel widths can be
varied to suit individual tastes.
Panels detach easily from the Velcro®
carrier in the top channel and bottom
weight bars are easily removed. Panels
can be operated by hand with a wand
or pull cord operation. Various stacking
options are available. Available in
natural looking fabrics, screens and faux
suedes.
Types and operation
3, 4 or 5 channel track. Cord or wand
operation.
Fabric or woven wood panels.
One way or split draw operation.
Components
Headrail – aluminium.
End caps – plastic.
Dampers – rubber.
Runner wheels – plastic.
End caps – moulded plastic. Fixed at each
end of headrail & used to support the tilt
rod and blind controls.
PVC + Velcro® hook
Panels – looped Velcro® attached to fabric or
woven wood.
L stops/T stops – PVC.
Cord – polyester.
Wand – steel.
Bottom bar – aluminium or wood.
Top fix or extension face fix brackets – steel.
PERFORATED ROLLER
BLINDS
Clean cut square perforations on
100% cotton fabric allow fractions of
|light to pass through the blind and
combine to create a simple modern
look.
PINOLEUM BLINDS
Pinoleum blinds are a traditional form of
shading for conservatories, sun rooms and
Orangeries as the material gently filters the
light.
Pinoleum blinds are available in a
wide range of finishes making them one
of the ultimate bespoke blinds. Wooden
strips are woven together using UV
resistant threads to create an elegant light
filtering blind often used for conservatory
shading.
The reeds are available in a flat as well as
a round finish and can be lacquered, stained
or painted to suit every type of decor and
every taste. Wood weave blinds typically
have an edging braid stitched to the side of
the blind and again these are available in a
range of colours.
It is possible to have some Pinoleum
weaves where the slats overlap providing a
high degree of dim-out and some are
available with a reflective backing making
them ideal for roof blinds.
Pinoleum can be made into shaped
blinds and can be operated in a number of
ways including motorisation by low voltage
motors and remote controls.
For vertical glazing Pinoleum blinds tend
to be made in roller, roll-up or Roman blind
format.
Types
Free hanging - cord operation passing
through a cord lock for operational control.
Roman - operated by cord which is then
secured around a cleat or by a continuous
chain at one side.
Tensioned - to be fitted in a rooflight or
sloping window. They may be cord, wand,
hand draw or operated by electric motor.
Shaped - Most triangular shapes are easily
covered although other shapes may not be
fully operational.
Components
Head and Bottom Rail sections - anodised or
painted aluminium or wood.
Cord - made from polyester.
Brackets - galvanised or painted steel.
Cord lock - locking mechanism to secure the
blind in the raised position.
Cleat - made in a variety of finishes and
used to secure cord instead of a cord lock.
Tension wire - PVC coated steel or Kevlar
coated cord.
PLEATED BLINDS
A pleated blind could be described as a
venetian blind with pleated fabric instead of
slats, giving a softer effect. The pleated fabric,
usually in 20mm or 25mm pleats, is attached
with double sided tape (or similar) to a
headrail at the top and to a bottom rail.
With a standard free-hanging blind, it is
opened by pulling the lift cords, the bottom
rail being raised towards the top rail causing
a concertina effect as it retracts. The lift
cords pass through a cord lock, thus
enabling the blind to be held at any height.
Fabrics
Range from translucent to opaque and
blackout. They are either plain or patterned
(including Jacquard or multi-coloured).
Materials are polyester and celluloseimpregnated
paper. Reflective, metallised
finishes to the external face, flame
retardant, Scotchguard and other
treatments are available.
Types and operation
Free hanging – with cord operation, usually
has a weighted bottom rail which makes the
blind hang better.
Rooflight – with side channels, frame and/or
perlon wires through the fabric. They may
be cord, wand or hand draw operated.
Shaped – most window shapes are easily
covered using pleated blinds e.g. rectangular,
circular, semi-circular.
Dual function – three rails may be used with
a different fabric in each section e.g. with the
mid-rail to the headrail, a “daytime” fabric is
in the window and from the mid-rail to the
bottom rail, a “night time” fabric is viewed.

Tension wire – in perlon or PVC coated steel.
ROLLER BLIND SYSTEMS
Roller blinds are all based on fabric or
material attached to a tubular roller
mechanism. Within this product grouping, lie
a great variety of systems. The specifier
should take care to emphasise the exact
requirements to obtain the most suitable
product.
Types and operation
Roller blind – Free hanging blind consisting of
a roller with cloth attached so the cloth can
be wound onto the roller. Generally used
for solar shading, light control and general
decorative purposes.
Cassette blind – Free hanging Roller blind (as
previous page), but with the roller
assembled within an enclosure or box so
the roller cannot be seen. This term can
sometimes assume to include side channels
to hide the cloth edge.
Dimout blind – Free hanging Roller blind (as
previous page), but with a light resistant
cloth and light resistant features to the top,
sides and bottom of the window.
Blackout blind – As a Dimout blind, but with
extra light resisting features. Be aware it is
very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve
100% blackout.
See page 5 for more details.
Roller mechanism
Side Chain – Endless Loop Chain operation
(mechanism sometimes referred to as
friction roller, sidewinder or ball chain
roller). Pull one side of the loop and the
blind will lower, pull the other chain to raise
the blind.
Spring Side Chain – As the Endless Loop
Chain operation, but a spring is used to
make the operation light and easy.
Lock Action Spring – Standard Spring Roller
Blind Operation. The blind is usually pulled
down by a centre cord and will stop at any
point by virtue of a ratchet mechanism. To
raise the blind, sharply tug the blind down
and allow to ascend. Care should be taken
not to let the blind fly up to the top.
Decelerator Spring – As the lock Action
Spring, but the speed of ascent is controlled
by a decelerator (braking) mechanism.
Other variations of decelerator operation
are available.
Self Acting Spring – A Spring Roller with no
locking mechanism so the spring is always
acting to close the blind. This is often used in
Rooflight applications where the blind is
drawn by pulling and cleating off a cord.
Flange End Roller – Also called, Single Line
Roller. A roller fitted with a pair of flanges to
one end, so as the cloth lowers the control
cord is wound up between the flanges. Pull
the cord to raise the blind. This is a
traditional form of blind and not commonly
used.
Sheath End Spring – As the Flange End
Roller, but fitted with a spring. To lower the

blind, the cord is pulled, to raise the
blind, the cord is released. This is a
traditional form of blind and not commonly
used.
Electric – A motor is fitted within the roller, so
only a very small part of the motor is visible.
The motor contains limit switches that are set
to stop the blind at the top and bottom of its
travel. Control is by a switch or by a choice
from the wide variety of control equipment
available. There are two fundamental types of
motor, low voltage (24V.DC) or mains voltage
(240V.AC). Generally, low voltage are for
smaller blinds, and mains for larger blinds, but
there are exceptions.
Radio Motor – The same as Electric
Operation, but the motor is fitted internally
with a radio receiver. All control and setting
is by the handset. As a general rule, one to
any number of blinds can be operated from
a single handset and the handset can have
one or more control channels. One to any
number of blinds can be programmed into
each channel in any order or combination
required. This can be changed at a later date
by a simple programming procedure.
Usually available are “handsets” that look like
normal wall switches. These can be fitted
anywhere (within range) and no wiring is
necessary. Key advantage of Radio motors is
the simplicity of wiring.
Roller Material
Aluminium – This is a common highly
versatile material used in a variety of
systems, from the largest to the smallest.
Steel – This is a common material used in a
variety of systems, from the largest to the
smallest. The steel should be galvanised or
painted to protect against rust.
Wood – This is not so common, and is
generally only used as a spring roller on
small to medium size windows.
Fibre – Generally for use on small windows
on budget applications, DIY or mail order.
Tin – Not used any more, but may be found in
old/traditional Roller Blinds. Consists of tin
plate steel, rolled and soldered to form a tube.
Cloths
There is a vast array of cloth types, patterns
and colours available and sold according to
customer requirement and function. Some
cloths are more suitable than others for
specific requirements, but this can only be
found studying the data provided by the
manufacturer.

GLOSSARY
Key points are:
Is through visibility required? You can
generally see from the darker side through
to the lighter side. This is fine during the day
when you want to see out, but at night
others can see in… Closed weave fabrics
will prevent or limit through vision, open
weave fabrics will allow through vision. See
openness factor “Of” overpage.
How much light reduction do you wish to
achieve? Openness factor is looked on as a
factor of shading. This is not true. You need
to look at the Visible Transmittance “Tv” (see
overpage). It is very important to select a
low “Tv” figure when reflection on
computer screens is a concern.
Is Heat Gain an issue? Limiting heat gain will
reduce the heat load on the building. In
other words, it will stop the building heating
up in the sun. Paying attention to this point
will reduce air-conditioning costs and allow
for a more pleasant environment. See Solar
Reflectance “Rs” overpage.
Shading Coefficient – Sc
“Sc” measures the efficiency of a fabric in
filtering heat coming from the solar radiation.
This figure ranges between 0 and 1. A low
figure shows an excellent protection against
the incoming heat. Please note that the Sc for
an external application is better than the Sc
for an internal application.
Visible Transmittance – Tv
“Tv” measures the percentage of visible light
coming through the fabric. A low figure shows
a very efficient fabric. The “Tv” is identical
whether the blind is placed inside or outside.
Openness Factor – Of
“Of” measures the proportion of holes in a
fabric. This parameter is important to figure out
the degree of visibility through a fabric. The
“Of” is expressed as a percentage. A low “Of”
shows that the fabric is a very close weave.
Solar Transmittance – Ts
“Ts” measures the proportion of solar
energy transmitted through a fabric. It is
expressed as a percentage and for the fabric
alone. A low figure indicates a good filtration
of solar energy by the fabric.
Solar Reflectance – Rs
“Rs” measures the proportion of solar
energy reflected by the fabric. It is
expressed as a percentage and for the fabric
alone. A high figure indicates a good
reflection of solar energy by the fabric.
Solar Absorption – As
“As” measures the proportion of solar
energy absorbed by a fabric. It is expressed
as a percentage and for the fabric alone. A
low figure indicates a low absorption.
Component Options
Acorn – Wood or plastic acorn attached to
pull cord.
Pocket – Pocket formed in the cloth at the
bottom to accept lath or weighting strip.
Hem Bar – Instead of the pocket, a solid bar
or rail is attached to finish the bottom of the
cloth. There are a variety of shapes, sizes and
finishes according to the product and function.
Cross Rib – Stiffening batten. Usually in pocket
across the width of fabric to prevent bowing.
Scallops – Various shapes to enhance
bottom of fabric fitted beneath the lath.
Pins – Protruding slot head or round pin
which inserts into fixing bracket.
Measurement terms
Pin width – Maximum Width including pins
which insert into brackets.
Barrel width – Width of Roller excluding pins
which insert into brackets. Also ‘shoulder width’.
Cloth width – Always less than barrel width
to allow movement and eliminate cloth
chafing fixing brackets.
ROOFLIGHT/
CONSERVATORY
NON-RETRACTABLE
BLINDS
Non-retractable blinds were originally
designed as a robust form of sun-screening
for museums and art galleries but have now
found a domestic application with the
growth of the conservatory market.
Aluminium or timber slats are mounted on
nylon clips that are located on aluminium
support racks. The system is very versatile
and can be cut to fit virtually any shape of
glazing. It is particularly suited to high level
windows or where control access is difficult.
It also has an application as an adjustable
suspended ceiling.
Aluminium slats are available in 25mm to
90mm widths and timber in 50mm. There is

also a version for audio visual purposes
using an interlocking 90mm slat for a higher
degree of light exclusion.
Mounted externally, using a reinforced
80mm slat, considerable benefits in solar
heat rejection can be achieved. The system
is often used on commercial greenhouses to
control both light and heat. When used
externally, all aluminium components and
sections are anodised or powder coated.
Types and operation
Manual – with either a cord tilter or
gearbox with operating rod.
Electric – with a tubular motor mounted on
a rack arm to a geared drive.
Components
Slats – 25mm, 50mm, 80mm, 88mm and
90mm aluminium or 50mm timber.
Rack arm – aluminium section that supports
the slatting area.
Pivot arms – nylon supports that are fitted
into the rack arm and carry the slat clips.
Slat clips – nylon clips that hold the slats.
Operating strip – aluminium strip to connect
the slat clips.
Drive shaft – aluminium shaft that connects
the rack arms to the operating mechanism.
Brackets – stainless studding with nylon clips
to the rack arms.
ROOFLIGHT/
CONSERVATORY
RETRACTABLE BLINDS
Versions of roller and pleated blinds are
commonly used. Pleated blinds are an
economic method of screening rooflights
that can be adapted to special glazing shapes
most of which allow a retractable operation.
The lightweight fabric and rigidity of the
pleating minimise the need for supports.
Pinoleum, a material constructed from
woven timber strips, gives a heavier effect. It
is mounted on heavy duty rollers and is
ideally suited to Victorian-style
conservatories. Externally, chain link blinds

are more effective in reducing solar gain.
Constructed from cedar slats, that are
connected with stainless links, they are
designed to roll down the glazing bars and
can be manually or electrically operated.
SASH WINDOW PANELS
A simple modern and effective treatment for
sash windows designed to cover the lower sash
in a transparent fabric, while the upper section
remains open to provide privacy and light.
SMOKE
CURTAINS/BLINDS
Smoke blinds/smoke curtains are designed
to contain the spread of thick smoke and
noxious gases, which are the primary cause
of death in the majority of fires. The blinds
will either contain or channel the smoke
which rises to the ceiling and can travel, as a
“smoke front” at speeds faster than an
escaping person. Open plan architecture,
such as shopping centres, large retail stores,
airports and conference centres, all need
protection from spreading smoke.
Types and operation
Fixed/static curtains – are non-operational
curtains, normally fixed to the structural
steelwork within an open-frame building,
where space, appearance and functions are
not critical (warehousing, superstores etc.).
Automatic blinds – are fully operational
blinds, normally located within a ceiling void
where appearance, uninterrupted line of
sight and headroom are critical (shopping
malls, retail stores etc.). Automatic blinds will
normally drop to just above head height
(2200mm above finished floor level) but
there is an increasing requirement for blinds
which offer ceiling to floor protection, and
extended drops of up to 8000mm.
All automatic blinds should have a gravity
fail-safe facility or stand-by battery
operation which allows the blind to descend
even in the event of a total power failure.
With long drop blinds (over 1500mm) or
blinds which descend to below head height,
there should be a controlled/governed rate
of free fall descent.
All smoke blinds/curtains should conform
to BS EN ISO 12101-1:2005+A1:2006 as a
minimum.
Components
Roller – usually 70/100 mm ERW steel zincplated.
Maximum single roller length
5000mm. Over 5000mm, rollers are
overlapped by a minimum of 400mm.
Motor – tubular geared, with internal,
externally wired, limit switches.
Box – single roller boxing: minimum 150mm
x 150mm; multiple roller boxing: 150mm x
250mm. Multiple roller configuration is
normally side-by-side but can be under-over.
Boxing material is normally 18 swg
galvanised mild steel with 14 swg galvanised
mild steel end plates.
Electro-magnetic braking – normally 24v dc,
externally and internally mounted.
Fabric – should conform to BS 476 : 7 :1997
and BS 476 : 6 : 1989 + A1 : 2009 and,
ideally, BS 476 : 20 : 1987. Popular fabrics are
neoprene-coated or elastomeric siliconcoated
or ceramic weavelock, woven glassfibre.
Electronic control equipment – a zone control
panel is required to interface between the
blinds and the main alarm system. Emergency
power units are an additional advantage to
some systems allowing full operation even in
the event of mains power failure.
Installation – is usually decided by the nature
of the project. However, boxes are normally
suspended by M10 threaded studding, from
Unistrut-type channel, attached to
underside of structural slab.
SOFT BLINDS
These are fabrics blinds in various decorative
styles that are drawn up to a headrail by
cords or tape that are traced through
eyelets on the window side of the fabric. The
fabric does not have to be as stable as roller
blinds and most curtain materials are
suitable so the ranges are extensive.
Types and operation
Roman blind – this is a classically simple blind
that draws up into even panels as it is raised.
Festoon blind – this has the material
gathered in the width and the drop. This
creates a series of permanent swags,
whether it is raised or lowered.
Austrian blind – this has fullness in the width,
with swags at the bottom of the material.
Cord operation – the blind cords are drawn
up through cord guides in the headrail and
tied off to a cleat.
Sidewinder – the blind tapes are drawn up
around the tape rills on a roller that is
operated by a beaded chain.
Components
Headrail – in timber or aluminium.
Cord guides – porcelain or nylon to direct
the draw cords.
Austrian Blind
Roman Blind
Festoon Blind
Cord – polyester.
Cleat – nylon or brass
to secure the lift
cords.
CLEARANCES
AND GAPS
All blinds which can
be moved, i.e.
extended or
retracted, require
clearance gaps
between the blind
and the structure
to which it is fixed.
This is to provide
movement tolerance
and prevent damage
occurring. The sizes
of these clearance
gaps vary depending
on the type and size
of the blind.
In most instances,
clearance gaps
do not pose a
problem, but in
special cases, such as
dimout/blackout
blinds and insect
screens, this may
be addressed by
measures like
masking or side
channels.
SPECIALITY SHAPED
BLINDS
The variety of window shapes that
have been designed to create a
rchitectural features has lead to the
development of blinds that maintain these
effects. Arches, circles, triangular and sloping
windows can all be covered as well as
shaped rooflights that are found in Victorian
conservatories.
For rooflight applications, non-retractable
blinds (page 12) and pleated blinds
(page 9) will provide a solution to most
shapes whilst roller blinds with suitable
reinforcement of the fabric can be made
for triangular shapes. For vertical windows,
mini venetian blinds (page 14) and
pleated blinds (page 9) can be made
for almost any style and vertical blinds
(page 14) have standard designs for arched
and sloping windows.

GLOSSARY
THERMAL/ENERGY
EFFICIENT BLINDS
Correctly specified and operated blinds
can have a significant impact on reducing
heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the
summer. The energy saving performance
of blinds depends on a number of factors,
including the type of blind, the fabric or
materials used and where the blind is
fitted.
TIMBER SLATTED
BLINDS
Timber slatted blinds are one of the earliest
forms of sunscreening that were developed
from the timber shutters that covered
window openings before the advent of glass.
The modern blind dates back to the 18th
century and is the original venetian blind.
Whilst most are made with the same
components as aluminium blinds,
reproductions of the early blinds with timber
rail sections and cast fittings are also available.
As a natural material, timber is subject to
movement and, for timber blinds, it is only
possible to use timbers that are stable in the
form of narrow strips. The timber has to be
dried to a moisture content of between 6-
8% to maintain this stability and reduce
warping to a minimum. The timbers most
generally used are western red cedar,
basswood and ramin but other timbers can
be used in special applications. Cedar is a
very grainy wood, with a distinctive variation
in colour that is its attraction. Basswood is a
light wood with a more even grain, which is
preferred when a more even colouring is
required, and ramin is a medium grained
hardwood. [It should be noted that ramin
timber is currently subject to CITES
endangered species control and only that
from properly certified sources should be
used.] Some simulated timber slattings are
also available which are, in fact, made from
polymers whilst having the appearance of
grain and colour of real wood.
Types and operation
Dual control – dual control blinds have a
cord to raise and lower the blind and either
a cord or rod to tilt the slats.
Mono control – mono control blinds have a
cord or rod which both raises and lowers
the blind and tilts the slats.
Electric control – with motor located in headrail.
Rooflight – can also be fitted to rooflights as
non-retractable blinds (see page 12)
Components
Slat – 25mm, 35mm or 50mm widths in
cedar, basswood or ramin.
Headrail – in steel or wood.
Ladder braid – polyester braid with cross
ladders to support the slat.
Ladder tape – Terylene or cotton in 12mm,
25mm and 38mm widths instead of braid.
Cord – polyester.
Acorn – wooden, brass, brushed steel, plastic
cord pulls.
VENETIAN BLINDS
Venetian blinds consist of horizontal,
overlapping slats which are generally either
made of aluminium or timber. The slats are
suspended from a headrail and supported
by ladder braid or ladder tape. Aluminium
slats, for internal use, are available in 15mm
or 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm and 90mm
widths. Aluminium slats are also produced in
65mm and 80mm widths primarily for
external use but can also be used internally.
Timber slats are available in 25mm and
50mm widths.

VERTICAL LOUVRE
BLINDS
Vertical louvre blinds consist of two basic
elements, a rigid headrail along which travel
louvre carriers incorporating rotatable
hooks and a set of louvres each of which
hangs from one of the hooks. The carriers
are connected to each other in such a way
that they can be bunched together at one,

or both, ends of the headrail, or drawn out
along the full width of the headrail. When
drawn out, the distance between adjacent
hooks is less than the width of the louvres.
Therefore when the hooks rotate the
blind to the closed position each louvre
overlaps the louvre or louvres next to
itself.
Vertical blind headrails are made in
extruded aluminium which is either anodised
or painted. They normally have a plain or
ribbed face, however some are available with
a recessed front which accepts a piece of
louvre fabric. This gives the whole blind a coordinated
appearance. Components within
the headrail are of injection moulded plastic
with the exception of the links which control
the spacing of the carrier trucks. These can be
made of stainless steel or plastic. Operation
can be dual control with separate louvres for
tilt and traverse or mono controlled through
a gearbox. Electrical operation is available.
For bay windows, tracks can be curved or
joined.
Louvres are normally weighted at the
bottom and connected to each other by
chains which are fitted near the bottom of
the louvres. Alternatively, blinds can be fitted
with a bottom rail with controls operating
both headrail and bottom rail. Blinds made
in this way can be fitted at an angle and are
suitable for skylights.
Louvres can be made in a variety of
materials. Woven, knitted or non-woven
fabrics are used to cut out the glare of
sunlight whilst allowing a soft diffused light
into the room. Where more light control
is needed, for instance in computer
rooms, flexible, laminated PVC fabrics are
normally specified. Although these can be
completely opaque it should be noted
that vertical blinds cannot be used when
100% blackout is required. Aluminium or
rigid, extruded PVC louvres are also
available. Louvres are generally supplied
127mm (5”) or 89mm (3 1 ⁄2”) wide although
other widths, such as 100mm, 63mm and
50mm, can be supplied. Louvres can be
flame-proofed to UK and other standards.
They are also available in washable fabrics
and special treatments are available to kill
MRSA.

continuously curved to a specific shape
to fit a curved window or similar
installation. Blinds operated by one set of
controls.
Dual controls – individual controls to
operate the traversing and rotation of the
louvres.
Electrical operation – the use of one or two
electric motors to operate the traversing
and/or rotation of the louvres.
Free hanging blind – blinds with louvres
which are not fixed at the bottom.
Mono control – use of one control to
operate both the traversing and rotation of
the louvres.
Pelmet – a piece of reinforced louvre
fabric supported on a bar fixed to the
headrail.
Pitched blind – free hanging blind with the
top and/or bottom not horizontal.
Stepped blind – free hanging blind with a
section of the louvres cut to a different
length to avoid an obstruction such as a
radiator.
Top & bottom track blind – a blind with
the louvres held rigidly between two
tracks. Suitable for use on a skylight or any
other installation where the louvres are
not vertical.

WINDOW FILM
Window film can sometimes be used
in place of, or in conjunction with, internal
and external blinds and awnings.
Window film is either affixed to the inside
or outside of the glazing and is therefore a
permanent additional coating.
Window film is available in a wide range
of specifications and finishes to help control
the internal environment by reducing glare
and heat gain as well as acting as a very
effective barrier to UV rays.
Coloured and reflective films can
help change the appearance of a facade and
breathe life into a refurbishment project.
Security window films are also available to
protect glazing against bomb blasts or
criminal damage.
Frosted films still permit light ingress but
provide privacy to the buildings’ occupants.

fixed to the glazing bars. The fabric must
be maintained under tension and this is
done by drive mechanisms and spring
tensioners in the bottom rail or side
guides. These blinds are almost always
motorised.
Fabrics
Mesh fabrics are preferred as they allow
outward vision and still achieve a high
level of shading and heat rejection. Acrylic
awning fabrics will provide a more
decorative effect.
Components
See external roller blinds - page 18.
DROP ARM AND
SLIDING ARM BLINDS
The front profile of a drop arm blind
lowers by gravity and is fixed to side arms
that fall from a pivot point. The projection
is thus the same as the drop from the roller
to the pivot point. This is the simplest form
of awning that is ideally suited to shorter
drop windows. The arms normally fall 90º
to the horizontal although they will drop
through to 135º to give shading against
low angle sun.
To achieve a long projection or for
clearance under the arms, as would be
required over a patio door or shop
Drop arm awning
window, a sliding arm blind is needed.
The pivot point moves up the slide as
the blind drops. A spring mechanism in
the slides draws the arm up, tensions the
fabric and provides resistance to wind
buffeting.
Types and operation
Tape operated – a webbed tape is wound
around a flange on the end of the roller.
The blind is maintained in position by
an inertia reel or by tying the tape to a
cleat.
Gear operated – a gearbox is fitted to the
roller and the blind operated by a winding
handle.
Electric operation – a tubular motor is fitted
within the roller.
Components
Roller – usually aluminium with a cleat to
attach the blind fabric.
Front profile – aluminium extrusion has two
cleats; one for the fabric and one for an
optional valance.
Blind arms – aluminium to project
the blind front profile
away from the
building.
Slides – extruded
section with integral
spring mechanism to
raise the arms.
Top board – aluminium
section that covers
the roller for
weather protection
when retracted.
Winding handle –
detachable cranked
handle for manual gear
operation.

EXTERNAL ROLLER
BLINDS
External roller blinds serve two basic
functions. Primarily, they provide a high
degree of protection against solar heat and
glare, reducing the need for an air
conditioning plant in the summer, and during
the winter months they provide a degree of
protection by retaining heat within the
building. Savings in energy can be substantial,
offering an attractive proposition in this
ecologically-aware age.

The other main function is that of
aesthetics: on new buildings the blinds
can be incorporated into the design at
an early stage to give the architect or
designer an exciting new medium with
which to work. Use of external roller
blinds on existing buildings can provide
a highly functional, cost-effective and
exciting new lease of life to even the most
plain design.

with the added feature of a small fully
retractable drop-arm blind. Aluminium

Façade – special guides allow the blind to be
bent to follow the profile of the building or
to provide a feature. Idling rollers on each
bend allow the fabric to follow the guides.
Tension Systems – where blinds are required
to run horizontally, upwards, or where the
slope angle is too low to allow the gravity
systems to work. Single or tandem motors
and tension cables or tapes are used to
drive the bottom rail. Aluminium guides can
be bent or even curved to follow pitched
or vaulted roofs. Idling rollers spaced
around the curve allow the fabric to follow
the curve in facets.
Manual operation – drive is from a gearbox
connected to the roller through the building
to an operating rod.
Electric – with tubular motor within the
roller either with simple switch, group
control, solar control or infra-red
(see page 23-24).
Facade
Fabric
Mesh material – generally of woven
fibreglass/PVC construction in a wide range
of colours, giving a high degree of solar
protection and privacy whilst affording
excellent outward vision.
Acrylic – available in a wide range of colours.
Particularly suited to tensioned blind
systems.
Darkening – opaque fabrics for room
darkening. All fabrics are resistant to rot,
ultraviolet degradation, are colour fast and,
in many cases, flame retardant.

Roller – motorised or gear operated. In the
case of tensioned systems, the use of a
secondary motorised roller and/or integral
tensioning spring is essential.
Bottom/front rail – aluminium extrusion with
end fittings to locate into side-guides. With
the exception of tensioned systems, the rail
is weighted and allowed to move freely in
the guides to prevent wind damage to
fabric.
Top board or Headbox – aluminium in a
variety of configurations to suit
requirements. Roller may also be recessed
into soffit if required.
EXTERNAL VENETIAN
BLINDS
External venetian blinds have the lowest
shading co-efficient of any system. They also
reduce the need for artificial lighting as the
slats are adjustable and they can be
retracted in overcast weather. Tilting the

slats also shields against direct glare and
provides a diffused and uniform level of
daylight. This flexibility of adjustment allows
the additional benefit of outward vision
whilst maintaining internal privacy.
External venetian blinds have heavy duty
aluminium slatting with reinforced edges.
The slats have retaining pins that locate in
aluminium side guides. The blinds can be
manually operated by tracing the operating
rod through the building although normally
the blinds are electrically operated as part
of the building management control system.
The blinds should be designed into the
building structure with considerable savings
in installation costs.
Some slat profiles are designed for a
tighter closure so that a dim-out
condition can be achieved
enabling the room to be
used for audio visual
presentations.

FIXED LOUVRE
ARRAYS
(SUNBREAKERS)
An array of fixed louvres,
fins or panels above or
in front of a window to
create shade. Also
known as a brise soleil.
Originally made from
timber, concrete or
formed steel, most
modern sunbreakers are
constructed from roll
formed or extruded
aluminium. Louvres can be
of any size or shape.
Support arms are typically
made from aluminium box
sections and bolted back to the building
structure at a suitable spacing above the
window. The support arms are usually
horizontal, but can be angled, vertical or any
combination. Louvres are generally spaced
to provide optimum shading. Sun angles
vary depending on latitude and building
orientation.
In the United Kingdom the sun breaker is
often designed to keep out high summer
sun which causes the greater heat gain
whilst allowing in low sun which causes little
heat gain, but some glare which can be dealt
with by using a secondary internal blind.

FOLDING ARM
AWNING SYSTEM
Folding arm awnings (also known as
FOLDAWAY AWNINGS) have, in the past
20 years, almost replaced the traditional
awning. As a shop blind, the folding arm is a
very versatile awning. It is nearly always
fitted below the fascia allowing the fascia to
be seen when the blind is extended. The
methods of installation are a concealed
blind box within the shopfront, fitted directly
to the shopfront in a cassette or fitted
under a topboard with side cheeks for
protection. The greatest asset of the folding
arm system is that when retracted, it is
contained in an area of approximately
200mm x 200mm.
Types and operation
Front
Profile
Electric operation – an electric motor
contained within the roller is usually
activated by a switch within the premises.
The extension/retraction is set on limits at
the time of installation. The motors also
have an automatic cut off to prevent
overheating due to misuse.
Gear operation – is generally attached to the
side of the roller and is activated by a
removable winding handle. Most systems
are built around a 40mm x 40mm
galvanised steel bar to which the wall fixing
or top fixing brackets are mounted. The bar
also has the blind arms attached and also
the two roller brackets.
Concealed system (or blind box system) – this
method of installation is into a prepared

blind box, fitted usually by the shopfitter and
incorporated into the shopfront.
Cassette system – this is a totally enclosed
system with a combination of top, bottom
and back sections which can be anodised,
stove enamelled or sprayed to the colour
specified. The benefit is that the fabric is
completely protected from the elements
when retracted.
Components
Roller – generally 70mm or 78mm in
diameter. Usually galvanised steel or mill
finish aluminium. A longitudinal groove is
used to provide fabric attachment.
Back bar (or installation bar) – generally
40mm x 40mm galvanised steel but can be
anodised aluminium. Often not required on
cassette systems.
Face fix wall bracket – for attaching back bar
to wall.
Top fix bracket – for attaching back bar to
soffit or concrete lintels.
Roller tube bracket – fitted on each end of
the back bar they carry the roller and gear
box or motor.
Blind arm bracket – carry the arms from the
back bar to which they are attached.
Blind arm – made from aluminium extrusion
and various components, enabling
projection from 750mm up to 4m.
Front profile (or front rail) – this generally is
an aluminium extrusion which is attached to
the blind arms. It also has two longitudinal
grooves to which the blind cover and the
valance are attached.
Winding handle – detachable handle for
manual operation.
Blind fabric – usually made from woven
acrylic fibre or reinforced PVC sheeting
complete with fungicidal and flame
retardancy treatments.
MOVEABLE LOUVRE
ARRAYS
Moveable louvre arrays allow adjustment
to maximise the control over light and
heat coming into a building as well as adding
an architectural feature to the facade.
Robustly constructed fins are a very
effective and functional sun screen that will
be a significant feature on your building.
Most are fabricated from extruded or
pre-coated formed aluminium to an aerofoil
profile with end pins and side channels.
They can be a fixed Brise Soleil or
operated to adjust the louvre angle
enabling control of solar gain and glare
from different sun angles.
Standard louvre sizes are from 100mm
to the largest that at 600mm that can span
up to 6m without horizontal support and
8m when fitted vertically.
Timber Louvres are either a slatted
profile or formed to an aerofoil section and
are usually of cedar as it has an attractive
grain pattern that weathers without the
need for treatment
Although manual operation is possible
they would usually be motorised to open
and close and be linked to the Building
Management System.
Components
Louvres - from extruded or formed
aluminium in widths from 100-600mm.
Timber louvers usually from untreated
Cedar in widths from 100-300mm.
Side Guides (Channels) - from powder coated
or anodised aluminium with end pins.
Link rod - From powder coated or anodised
aluminium to link the louvres.
Control - A linear actuator to operate the
link rod although a manual lever or gearbox
can be used.
SHADE SAILS/TENSILE
STRUCTURES
Tensile structures are constructed using a
material that is then pulled taut by being
fixed permanently in position. These shades
can be made in a wide range of shapes and
styles.
With tensile structures only certain
fabrics are suitable as the material must be
capable of retaining its shape whilst under
high tension. Similarly the structure the
shade is affixed to and the fixings used must
be carefully considered to support the
forces required to hold the shade safely
and securely in place.
The materials used for these types of
structures are UV and weatherproof and
easy to clean.
TERRACE AWNINGS
Large projections in front of restaurants can
be achieved with terrace awnings. They are
electrically operated and the blind cover is
retained in structural side guides. Tension on
the cloth is maintained by tension springs in
the front rail. Projections of up to 6 metres
are possible with cloth lengths up to 8
metres allowing the cover to drop down
past the front of the projection.
A free-standing system can provide shade
to an area away from a building structure.
Two foldaway type blinds (see page 19) are
mounted either side of a steel frame. The
blinds are gear operated and retracted with
a cranked winding handle. A top board
covers both blinds when retracted. These
blinds are ideally suited to restaurant and
recreation areas providing a large shaded
area without the need for structural fixing.
Components
Fixed system
Top box – aluminium section that encloses
the roller, motor and drive mechanisms.
Side guides – aluminium with powder
coated or anodised finish that encloses the
draw cable.
Relieving roller – aluminium roller that guides
the cloth around the front curve.
Front rail – aluminium section that encloses
the tension mechanisms.
Free-standing
Frame – steel with powder coated paint
finish.
Top board – aluminium or steel.
Also see foldaway awnings (see page 19).
TRADITIONAL SHOP
BLINDS
The “traditional” blind as we know it today
was the standard form of shop blind before
the introduction of folding arms. It has been
updated by the use of modern materials
and is specified mainly for use on shops
within conservation areas and other areas
of special interest, although it can be fitted
in any location.
Types and operation
Traditional blinds are usually supplied with
arms and slides and occasionally with trellis
extension arms. Pivot or “shoe” arms are
also available.
The blinds with arms and slides or trellis
arms are supplied with a pull down pole for
operation. Those supplied with pivot arms
can be operated by gearbox or electric
motor as well as by means of a pole.
The blinds are wound on helical spring
rollers, or on geared or electric motorised
rollers. The rollers are housed in specially
constructed wooden blind boxes with
wooden front laths of a raised panel or
ogee profile.
20 Blinds & Shutters Buyers’ Guide • 2022

GLOSSARY
Blind boxes were originally fixed above
the name fascia or entablature, and this
allowed for the blind cloth to be set at a
steep angle which gave a pleasing aspect
to the blind, better ventilation and better
weathering.
The present tendency is for blind boxes
to be fitted below the name fascia panel
and consequently a much flatter blind is the
result. This sometimes calls for the
introduction of rainwater drain eyelets on
the cover.
Wherever possible, consideration
should be given to positioning the blind
box at the highest level.
Fabric
Blind coverings are in the main made from
woven acrylic fibre, with an incorporated
dirt repellent. This material has the
appearance of traditional cotton duck but is
more robust. Reinforced PVC blind cloths
are also available.
Components
Box – a properly constructed weather box,
with a slot at the front for the blind to pass
through, usually made from good quality
timber.
Roller – a steel or aluminium tube with a
steel axle on which a helical spring is
mounted.
Set-off plates, cup plates, roller brackets – a
malleable iron casting in which the roller is
suspended.
Front lath or rail – this is the leading edge of
the blind and its twin function is to retain
the outer edge of the cloth and to form the
closure piece to the front slot of the blind
box when the blind is not in use.
Cover or cloth – this is the material or fabric
which is held in tension between the roller
and lath and is the shading component of
the blind.
Tacking fillet or tacker – this is the substantial
piece of softwood which is secured to the
back of the lath. Its function is to have the
cover nailed to it so as to hold the cover in
position.
Arms and slides – these are made from
mild steel and are the means of projecting
the blind outwards from the face of the
building to which it is attached. The slides
are the means of adjustment in height
between the required headroom and the
position of the bottom of the blind arms
when in repose.

whilst sufficient headroom is also
available below the lowest part of
the arm.
Storm chain, supporting chain, safety chain –
these suspend the blind in position in case
the cloth or cover should come adrift from
the lath.
Trellis arms – these are made from crisscross
scissor-type slats made from mild
steel. These arms also have vertical slides.
Long arm or blind pole – a wooden pole with
a cast malleable hook for pulling the blind
out from the box.
Tops and bottoms or slide castings – the
malleable castings which secure the top and
bottom of the slide bar in position.
Cannon – the malleable casting securing the
inner end of the blind arm to the pivot bolt
on the slide box or shoe.
Slide box – the casting which runs up and
down the slide bar with pivot bolt and arm
attached.
Shoe – the casting forming the fixed pivot
point where slides are not used.
Strap – the horizontal part of the blind arm
which is secured to the front lath.
Pull-down eye – the ring attached to the
front lath for pulling the blind out with the
long arm or blind pole.
Box bend, side bend, set under – these are
various purpose-made bends fashioned into
the blind arms.
Irons, ordinary arms – another term for blind
arms.
Pins and chains – cotter pins secured with a
small length of chain and used to secure the
slide box in its upper position on the slide bar.
Side blinds – separate detachable side
pieces made from acrylic, canvas or
PVC and suspended on poles at right
angles to the main blind to give end
protection.
VEHICLE AWNINGS
Most vehicles can have an awning fitted
to them although the awning itself and
the brackets to ensure a safe and
appropriate fix call for a specialist
installer.
Specialist awnings are a popular addition
to many vehicles such as:
Automotive Repair - For small to medium
wheelbase vans awnings can provide
necessary undercover facilities to carry out
auto glazing or dent and paint repair work
etc. Technicians can work whatever the
weather so no lost days or rebooking
customer appointments. With these types of
awnings operation is easy with a single
person deploying the awning in around 4
minutes.
Emergency Services and Mobile Technicians
For medium to long wheelbase vans
and special trailers used by mobile
technicians and the emergency services.
All weather, heavy duty awnings
provide undercover facilities whilst out
in the field whether it’s a portable
office, mobile workshop, exhibition or
hospitality requirement.
Motorsport, Horse & Hospitality Transport
Purpose built awnings are ideal for outdoor
pursuits. For motorsport and equine
vehicles some awnings have enclosures with
inset window panels made from heavy duty
vinyl. Flame retardant fabrics are available
with a variety of options such as electric
motor operation and built-in LED lights.
For Horseboxes either built into the body
by the constructor or fitting retrospectively
awnings will provide shelter from the side of
the truck and options such as portable
stabling are available.
Modular Frame Systems - Ideally suited to
larger vehicle of 7.5t upwards when
projections of 5-6m are required a modular
awning offers greater flexibility and can even
cover several elevations of the vehicle using
a portable frame system with a tension roof
sheet. These can be fully enclosed if required
and are most typically used by motorsport
teams.
In all situations it is possible to have logos
and corporate branding added to these
types of awnings.

WET LOOK BLINDS,
CANOPIES AND
WALKWAYS
This type of blind, first introduced in the late
seventies, immediately caught the imagination
of the consumer and has transformed high
streets and holiday resorts alike. It is basically
derived from the dutch blind system. The
innovation of bending the dutch extrusion by
computerised bending machines to almost
any shape imaginable freed the shackles of
limited designs. Unsupported sheeting is
stretched over the shapes whilst hot and
then allowed to cool to give those now
familiar curves which are not possible with
traditional PVC and acrylic fabrics. These
blinds are fixed and do not retract.

BLIND CLEANING AND
REPAIR
Most manufacturers offer an after sales
maintenance service either directly or
through local agents. For internal horizontal
and vertical blinds regular cleaning contracts
are available. Blinds are normally cleaned on
an annual basis and are usually removed
from site and cleaned in an ultrasonic tank.
The ultrasonic waves implode the dirt
particles and they are removed by the
cleaning agent. When in the works, the
components are tested for wear and are
lubricated before being returned. Regular
maintenance is as important for blinds and
shutters as any other item of equipment.
COMMISSION SLITTERS
Provide a service to cut down fabrics to
any size required.
CONTROL SYSTEMS
An extensive range of standard control
systems is available with custom design for
more complex requirements. Control
systems can be made to perform virtually
any sequence of functions. It is up to the
specifier to choose the system best suited
to the job in hand. Control systems offer
the designer uniformity and building
temperature control that can make
significant savings in air conditioning
running costs.
Types and operation
Solar Control – opens and closes the blinds
and set to two pre-determined lux (light)
levels. The blinds are lowered when the
higher level is reached and raised after a
timed interval if the light drops to the
lower level.
Wind Control – Retracts external blinds
if the wind speed exceeds a pre-set
level.
Blinds & Shutters Buyers’ Guide • 2022 23

GLOSSARY
Timer Control – a daily or weekly timer to
operate the blinds at preset times. It is
usually used to extend the blinds in the
morning and retract them at night. Where
blinds or shutters are used for insulation it
can be used to lower them at night for
heat retention.
Light level control – for non-retractable
blinds has three lux level control and allows
the slats to adjust to maintain light levels
within a selected band width.
Master or Building Control – allows
override of the system from one central
point with the option of an interface
with the fire alarm system to retract the
blinds.
Individual control – allows override of the
automatic system by a switch local to each
blind.
Infra-red control – operation by means of an
infra-red transmitter that activates the
sensor that is normally mounted on the
wall beside the blind.
Radio remote control – control by a hand
held transmitter is usually used for shutters
or garage doors. It is suited when direct line
of sight to the sensor is not possible.
ELECTRIC OPERATION
Almost all types of blinds and shutters can
be electrically operated (motorised). For
venetian blinds, the motors are located within
the headrail section; for roller blinds and
smaller shutters, the motors are tubular and
fit within the roller; on vertical blinds, the
motor is mounted on the back of the track.
Non-retractable
rooflight blinds
have the motors
mounted on one
of the racks
above the slats.
For larger shutters, the motor is mounted at
the end of the roller and drives to the roller
through gears. This type of externally fitted
motor, which is usually 3-phase, is also used
for folding and commercial up-and-over
doors.
Small 12v motors are also available for
small blinds. As they are normally battery
operated, a qualified electrician is not
required for the wiring.
Generally, installers and fitters of blinds
and shutters will not undertake mains
wiring as part of their contract, as this must
be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Normally this work is done by the site
electrician or an electrician familiar with the
client’s building. Thus electrical items are
usually supplied only.
The blind fitter is responsible for final
testing and commissioning and setting the
motor operating limits. Usually the blinds are
installed and tested from an independent
power source before handing over to the
contractor.
Motors are normally supplied with a
1 metre length of flex (or flying lead) so it is
necessary for a junction box or plug
connection to be located within 1 metre of
the end of the blind. Where more than one
blind operates from a single switch, relays
must be used and they can also serve as
junction boxes. Most motors are single
phase using normal 3 core mains supply
cable to the switch, but the cable from the
switch to the motor is 4 core. There are 2
wires for supply (one for raise and one for
lower) a neutral and an earth. The load
requirement is normally not more than an
amp for each motor.
FABRIC LAMINATING
AND PROCESSING
Lamination is the conversion of fabrics to fit
a different use or application. Fabrics such as
silks or chenilles that are too delicate can
benefit from laminating a knit to the back.
This process increases the fabric strength,
durability and seam integrity. It also
minimizes fraying.
Lamination processes can also be used
for fabric protection, fire protection, liquid
protection and saving time and money in
sewing and upholstering.
Lamination processes include: Water Base
Adhesives, Hot Melt Adhesives, Dry Web
Adhesives, Plastisol Adhesives and Flame
Bonding.
Types of lamination
Fabric to fabric - Typically for processes
other than upholstery, but can be. This
process will greatly increase a fabrics
durability while intending to increase the
hand or stiffness.
Acrylic backing - Used to prevent fraying
and to keep fabric from slipping over the
foam.
Fire retardancy - Fabric treatment to comply
with state and federal fire codes.
Soil resistance - Fluorocarbon treatment to
your fabric to prevent staining.
Blackout backing - Most commonly used to
back window covering and shade fabric.
Used to block out ultraviolet rays. Can be
laminated to your fabric to create window
shades.
Foam backing - Laminating foam to the back
of fabric. Commonly used for padding,
sound attenuation, acoustics and quilting.
Canvas backing - Used to increase the
durability of almost any fabric.
Laminated Roller Blinds are made by
laminating a stiffened backing cloth, either
standard or blackout (white or cream) to
the face material. This method is particularly
suitable for glazed chintz, silk, moirés,
synthetics, loosely woven fabrics and any
material that has joins for wide blinds. Any
fabric that has been treated for stain
resistance or fire retardancy needs to be
laminated. It is not suitable for fabrics with a
high synthetic content.
Base shapes and/or borders to the base
& sides can be applied to laminated roller
blinds.
A Processed Roller Blind is created by
stiffening the face fabric with a special
silicone solution. Processing is most suitable
for voile, lace and untreated cotton &
cotton mix fabrics. It is not suitable for silks,
fabrics with a high synthetic content or
fabrics with metal threads in the weave.
Types of processing
Die Cutting, Sheeting, Slitting, and Re-rolling.
NO SEW ROMAN
FABRIC
Fabric that can be knifed without risk of
fraying, and used un-hemmed, in the
manufacture of Roman blinds.

The Year in Review
from the editor of Blinds & Shutters, John Hatcher
We take a look back at
2021, with the
headlines from Blinds
& Shutters magazine.
The start of the year
was certainly unusual,
but as the year
progressed, we saw the
return of conferences
and exhibitions, client
meetings and other
activities associated
with the ‘old’ normal!
Issue One 2021
n UK blinds company Bloc
Blinds collaborates with Leeds
based printed textile designer
Laura Slater on an exclusive
collection of designs.
Cormac Diamond, Bloc
Blinds managing director said:
“As a forward thinking
and innovative company, we strive to keep our
finger on the pulse of changing consumer needs –
and that is exactly why we made this investment in
fabric printing and partnered with Laura. Our new
printing capability means we can offer customers
new designs, which have been created exclusively
for Bloc Blinds by contemporary artists such as
Laura Slater. We are delighted to share this
collection with our customers exclusively.”

Interface, a new business unit dedicated to supporting
developers, specifiers and contractors to keep up
with the growing demand for smart technology.
According to research by GfK Global, the
European market for smart devices was set to
grow from €122 billion to €133 billion in value in
2019, a figure which they say has since grown due
to changing living and working conditions related
to COVID-19. With this huge growth in smart
home technology set to continue, User Interface
will bring together Legrand’s specialist team of
smart building experts alongside its easy-to-install
home automation products into one business unit.
Issue Two 2021
n Eclipse has embraced the
digital age, and wants to help
its customers do the same.

advanced it is only right we
start to take advantage of its
benefits. Eclipse has created

that have all the information you need for
successfully ordering online from us across both
our Made-to-measure and wholesale websites.
These videos include all of the new online tools
and functions.
n Mzuri, one of the leading companies in the
window blind industry has completed the
acquisition of the TCMM Shutter Group.
TCMM, founded in 2002 has become one of the
UK’s largest interior wood shutter distributors with
an additional operation in the USA under their
Shutter Store brand.
Murray Clark, managing director of TCMM
said:
“I am fully committed to the Mzuri Group.
Their vision and growth strategy is very
inspiring. Looking ahead TCMM will continue to
focus on our UK and US presence whilst
developing our growth in other markets. We
have had a close relationship with Mzuri for
the past few years and are looking forward to
working with the team to further expand our
portfolio.”
n Lisburn-based Mzuri Group which owns
Decora and TCMM has announced it has acquired
Tropical Blinds.

become a significant player in the UK window
blind industry. A highly reputed company, with a

with people we never would’ve usually met. It’s a
huge tick in the box and we’ll hopefully be back
next year!”

A Contract of Colour, Function and
Sustainability
The needs of the contract market continue
to push the boundaries of window shading
specification. As the realisation continues to
grow of the impact that the right (or wrong)
shade can have on the contract environment,
specifiers are looking more and more to the
window blind trade for innovative window
covering solutions that balance specification,
quality and peace of mind.
Decora has extended their selection of
wider width fabric contract fabric offering to
consist of 3 ranges. In addition to the 26
Unicolour and Unishade fabrics, Arona, a
new sustainable FR fabric has been
introduced offering 18 colours in 2.5m roll
widths and 89mm vertical fabric.
Sustainable fabrics have been a growing
trend in the fashion industry for some time,
but there are more widespread applications
being demanded within the contract sector.
The ethos behind Arona was to preserve
our environment by utilising recycled PET
plastic bottles from ocean pollution and
reuse as secondary raw materials. The ecobalance
of such a process is convincing:
energy and above all water consumption
are much lower than conventional fabric
production, a contribution to reduce our
ecological footprint.
Unicolour dimout and Unishade blockout
continue to prove popular fabrics in the
contract arena. Their versatility of being
available across 3 roller widths 2m, 2.5m
and 3m and 2 vertical widths 89mm and
127mm presents optimum production
efficienciesas well as the ability to produce
wide width roller blinds without the need
for a join.
With Unicolour and Unishade
contractors can avail of the dimout and
blockout properties in the same
complimenting colours enabling perfect light
control management where necessary.
The colour palette for all three ranges has
been meticulously selected to ensure every
tone is in line with the latest market trends
for the contract sector, whether this be bold
primary colours for a school or cool grey
for a modern office environment.

Efficient protection against heat is crucial
Conservatories and glass roofing requires good sun protection
The desired living quality is only complete with efficient sun
protection in a conservatory or underneath a glass terrace
roof, because it keeps the warmth outside. It also provides
protection against UV rays or wind.
Conservatories and glass terrace roofs
provide light, warmth, protection from rain,
and additional space. However, for them to
be used consistently, effective sun protection
is needed. According to the awnings expert
markilux, only then do they provide the
desired living quality.
Soaking up light, even during the autumn
and winter months. Enjoy the sun when it’s
still cool outside or simply spend a
summer’s day underneath a protected roof.
There are numerous reasons to expand a
house by adding a conservatory or glass
terrace roof. But, when there is no sun
protection, sitting in or underneath them
can be a sweaty affair in summer.
Awning systems fit present-day glass
constructions
The awnings producer markilux offers
shading in the form of conservatory and
under-glass awnings, with a programme that
is technically and optically aligned for this
very purpose. “Although we do not build
any terrace roofs, our markilux 8800, 880
and 779/879 awnings offer the decisive
element: effective protection against
excessive sun and heat” says Klaus Wuchner,
head of sales and marketing at markilux. The
systems’ design is aligned to the shape of
present-day glass constructions. Thus, the
awnings can be affixed to almost every
structural design, where they provide sun
protection and ensure a consistent, pleasant
indoor climate. In order to shade a room
even before heat can enter it, Klaus
Wuchner recommends using automated
technology.

Micro Pneumatics latest developments
Crush cut roller blind table with auto positioning
It’s been a busy year for Micro Pneumatics,
as most of the blind manufacturers are
working round the clock to meet deadlines
for their customers. By purchasing more
machinery from Micro, they are improving
their efficiency.
Although very busy, Micro have still found
time to work on two new projects. One of
them is a saw for faux and wood venetians
and this will be available soon. The other
project, which has been run off, is bar code
reading for our best-selling vertical bind
machine (VB1). These are projects that
customers have frequently enquired about,
so we pride ourselves on listening to our
customers’ needs.
Another trend that Micro are witnessing,
is the move away from sewing machines to
ultrasonic welding on vertical blinds. The
ultrasonics are so easy to operate, with less
fuss and a beautiful finish.
We have taken on another experienced
engineer, together with a new CNC milling
machine to increase production and make
us less reliant on outside suppliers. We are
also looking to employ an apprentice very
soon.
We look forward to meeting our
customers at the 2022 BBSA Exhibition,
with our new machines.

Lumera Landscape - a successful story with a
prospect of continuation
The fabrics - woven with CBA fibres (Clean Brilliant Acrylic) - are
the most technologically advanced acrylic fabrics to date bringing a
whole new dimension to awning materials. With
Lumera, premium quality comes as standard with an extraordinary
colour luminosity which brings colours to alive when backlight with
the sun.
But there are so much more outstanding advantages:
• Outstanding dimensional stability
Fabric that holds and keeps it shape when under tension
• Self-cleaning
The smooth, dense fabric surface coupled with unique TEXgard
coating impregnated into each fibre prevents dirt and water
clinging to the fabric surface to ensure it keeps a clean visual
appearance
• Highest fade resistance
Solution dyed fibres, that are dyed right to the core, guarantee
the colours stay true and brilliant
• Greatest water column
The tightest woven fibres, provide a water column of min.
450mm to ensure a water repellent fabric
• Optimum UV protection
Certified to stringent UV 801 standards, all fabrics block
minimum of 97,5% of ultraviolet rays increasing the protection
time of skin to sunlight by a minimum of 40x
In addition to the 24 designs from the Landscape Design line – our
range of fabrics based on landscapes with their diverse surfaces
and different vegetation – the assortment includes as well 32
solids. With Sattler’s new collection which will be launched
beginning of 2023 there are more colours and dessins coming to
complement this successful product line.

LUMERA LANDSCAPE -
NOBLE DESIGNS
THAT ENRICH THE
ARCHITECTURE.
Landscapes with diverse surfaces and different vegetation,
influenced by lighting moods, were models for these designs.
Each awning fabric is a color tone that abstractly interprets
the character of different regions in two different tones.
Implemented with the yarn CBA (Clean Brillant Acrylic)
produced especially for Sattler, this gives the fabrics an
extraordinary color intensity as well as excellent dirt and
water repellency.

Herbert Parkinson named winner of
Risk Reduction Through Design Award
British textile manufacturer Herbert Parkinson
has received an award for an innovative
tool that helps protect workers from
developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
The Risk Reduction Through Design
Award 2020/21, sponsored by The Health
and Safety Executive (HSE) and Chartered
Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors
(CIEHF), recognises design innovation to
reduce the risk of MSDs.
MSDs include injuries and conditions that
can affect the back, joints and limbs. The
parts of the body most likely to be affected
are the lower back, shoulders, forearms,
wrists and hands, as well as the neck the
hips, legs, knees, ankles and feet.
Winning company, Herbert Parkinson,
worked with designer David Atherton to
develop a 3D printed handheld tool, which
can be used to insert a large number of
curtain hooks into curtain headers.
Workers in the packaging and inspection
team had previously been inserting up to
200 metal pin hooks into curtain headers
by hand every day, but the new
ergonomically designed tool enables
workers to slide the hooks in easier,
preventing pain in their fingers and hands.
Head of HSE’s Health and Work Branch and
chair of this year’s judging panel Ali Wellens
said: “The Risk Reduction Through Design
Award is intended to highlight the important
contribution that design changes can make
in reducing risks of musculoskeletal disorders.
“We would like to congratulate Herbert
Parkinson for their efforts to reduce the
risks of MSDs in the workplace and
improve the lives of their employees.
“We also want to encourage other
businesses, large and small, to consider how
they could make design changes to
eliminate or reduce the risks of MSDs in
their workplaces.”
“Managing the risks of musculoskeletal
disorders not only keep our partners
safe, but it's made business sense,
reducing absenteeism and improving
productivity. Our partners in Herbert
Parkinson are thrilled by this award, which
helps put risk reduction at the heart of
business.”
The award was presented at the CIEHF’s
annual (virtual) awards ceremony on the
18 June 2021.
