Glass Units with Integral Blinds
Smart, Sleek & Low Maintenance Glazing Solution
Unlike traditional blinds, integral blinds are permanently sealed between the panes of double or triple glazing, creating a maintenance-free, tangle-free, and long-lasting solution. Their innovative enclosed design guarantees clean, uninterrupted views while removing the need for dusting, cleaning, or external adjustments.
With options for manual, magnetic, or motorised controls, integral blinds provide effortless light and privacy management, making them perfect for modern homes, office spaces, and high-traffic environments. Combining sleek aesthetics with practical functionality, they deliver a smart, contemporary shading system that enhances both style and energy efficiency.
At UGS Ltd, we offer both supply-only and supply-and-fit services, available as standalone glazing units with integral blinds or as an upgrade to our windows, doors, conservatories, and roof systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Please note that the information provided here is subject to change. For the most up-to-date details, we recommend contacting our company directly.
Yes, in many cases you can. If the frames can accept a sealed glazing unit (typically 24 mm or thicker), the old glass can be removed and replaced with a new sealed unit that includes integral blinds. However, the original sealed glass cannot be reused.
There are several operation options: manual magnetic controls, manual cord or wand systems, and motorised (battery-powered or hard-wired) systems. The choice may depend on ease of access, convenience, and aesthetic preference.
Integral blinds are more durable than conventional external blinds because they are protected within a sealed unit. Manufacturers often provide guarantees (often around 10 years) covering both the sealed unit (against fogging or seal failure) and the blind mechanism. With good care, they can last significantly longer.
Yes. Many providers offer integral blinds with a variety of glass options (toughened, laminated, obscure/patterned, acoustic, etc.). They can be fitted into frames of different materials (aluminium, uPVC, timber), provided those frames can accommodate the required unit thickness.
Absolutely. Because the blinds are sealed within the glazing unit, they reduce heat loss and the ingress of dust, require no external cleaning, and avoid wear from exposure. They act as an additional barrier, helping retain heat and manage solar gain, which can lower heating/cooling costs
Integral blinds are blinds permanently sealed between panes of double or triple-glazed glass. The unit is assembled in a factory so the blind is enclosed, meaning it cannot be simply added later to an existing sealed unit.
