Roller Blinds  Drop Arm Blinds    Clear Blinds    Vertiscreen  Roller Blinds External roller blinds provide a high degree of protection against solar heat and glare while retaining visual clarity. These vertical hanging blinds use a 3mm diameter stainless steel wire guided system that can be motorised. They help protect your home against overheating, glare and fading yet allow plenty of sunshine when retracted in winter.   (Ref: 4850)   (Ref: 4850)   (Ref: B6)   (Ref: 4153) (Ref: 5173) (Ref: 5173) Top of page    Drop Arm Blinds Drop Arm Blinds are the simplest form of awnings; they are ideally suited to fit over standard doors and windows. These simple gear-operated drop-arm awnings can be motor operated, sun and wind sensors are also available. The blinds are adjustable to any position in a 90 degree arc. Drop arm blinds are available with an optional cassette to protect the fabric of the awning and can be designed using all available fabrics. Drop arm blinds will withstand high loading from wind and weather.   Partially lowered (Ref: 4772)    Completely lowered (Ref: 4772)  Italia Blinds The front profile of an Italia 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 Italia blinds can be manually operated, as per the drawing, or motorised, as per the photos. ... (Ref: 4999) Top of page Clear Blinds Clear Blinds enable you to use your outdoor spaces, especially patio areas, in cooler or inclement weather. Fully welded with seams for added strength, clear plastic blinds can be installed with or without a hood. They can be hand rolled, winch or motor operated. Tinting is available as well as clear.

Top of page  Vertiscreen (Ref: 4999)    (Ref: 4999) Vertiscreen is an exterior vertical blind sunprotection system from Europe, with a modern slim-line look. Easily and discreetly fitted to an existing home or commercial building, Vertiscreen can also be installed inside a reveal during contruction, thus totally hiding the components from view. Its compact profile includes a neat 95mm x 95mm or 125mm x 125mm aluminum head box; eliptical square bottom rail with either wire guides or side channels, which can be powdercoated to any colour required. An important contributor to Vertiscreen's energy efficient design is the narrow gap between glass and fabric, similar in principle to a roller shutter. (Ref: 4278) Please note what looks like a splotch on the blind is actually a dirty camera lense! Depending on the fabric chosen, some of the benefits achieved with Vertiscreen will be improved insulation from heat gain and loss, UV shielding and reduction of glare. An opaque fabric can be used to create total blockout, while a sheer fabric can offer sunprotection, without losing your view. Options for Vertiscreen are manual operation with a gearbox or fully automatic operation using our Tubular Drive Motors. Motorisation further allows group control over a number of windows simultaneously or individually, timer function and climate sensor.      Top of page
